I love that movie, and that scene. ha ha.

it affects the whole country.

https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/

I got got off the phone with Verizon, and they said the issue started on Aug 28 where some phones got a network update that limits their ability to connect to the towers. He's making a ticket with the network team to bridge from the tower to our iphone to push the network software update.

I guess many phones can't connect to get the update to fix their last bad configuration.

I hope it gets resolved soon.


my iphone 16 pro works, but wife's iphone 14 pro is "sos only" mode.

we tried the full reset (volume up/down/side button hold) and network reset, which is not helping.

Both my and her phone have same cellular data settings.

tried calling '611' verizon help line which dumps us saying "the system is down" unable to take calls.

it's a big outage for sure.


Here is a board ready to use:

I was heavily involved with the local soccer community, and as a coach/referee I carried my own detector that I paid less for a ready to go version than this DIY shield. I was not going to depend on someone else's gear functioning when these were so cheap.


Got a link to that detector? The cheapest self-contained lightning sensor in a portable form factor I know of nowadays is the Acurite 02020 and it's around ~$50 nowadays.


That's interesting. That's the same one I have, but I only paid $27.99 for it. I couldn't remember what the model was, but Amazon shows that I purchased that model and clicking the View Order link it shows $27.99. I guess I bought at the right time??? Maybe it's tariffed to death?

Looks like it's steadily increased, labor maybe? Just a WAG on my part to be sure, I'm too far away to legitimately speculate.


likely the chip in it is out of production

lots of products like this are increasing because nobody is running the older cheaper fabs


Has anyone used dark color 3D filament printed onto copper clad PCB as photo resist or etch resist?

It might be tricky printing PLA directly to copper clad PCB, but then you could expose the board to UV or etchant to make the PCB traces. Then remove the PLA plastic to expose the copper traces.


Yep, variations have popped up in the DIY community over the years.

Slightly modifying/abusing the cheap DLP resin printers is more effective because they're essentially a controllable UV mask anyway.


The toner transfer method uses a similar process and is probably easier. You don't need a 3D printer, but one of those laminating machines instead.


assumedly much much easier to buy a cheap vinyl cutter, but interesting idea


I like the UI and cute idea, nice animation. great way to learn xor $FF haha.

Anyone else getting a 403?


I love their pricing options include larger ranges of numbers, and enterprise class also includes negative numbers. ha ha.

Best part is that 'sign up' links to https://archive.org/donate/


I think their ad placement is even better than their pricing.

I didn't realize this was the same creator of the tiny LED matrix earrings. I love the attention to detail in the work and the article. Super interesting!
