@gsuberland A friend of mine has seriously looked into starting a business of "neutering" smart TVs.

Open it up, completely remove the motherboard. Keep power supply and panel, replace the electronics with an FPGA that just takes HDMI/DisplayPort in and drives the panel.

Then resell it as a dumb display.

i think it's readyish

My son wanted to be a white knight chess piece this year. We typically make his costumes and I decided to tackle this one. The result is in two pieces. The base is made from foam pipe insulation covered in an old bed sheet. The head is foam core with internal pool noodle scaffolding.

Just a quick tip for anyone making games, drawing art, writing books, or doing any other form of creative work…

Don’t just post about your stuff in artist/creator focused spaces, since other artists and creators are not your audience.

Just putting it out there, since a lot of people end up only promoting their work to other creators, then wondering why they’re not doing so well…

Things in ascending order of bonkers:

1. People move horses by plane
2. People move enough horses often enough that there are dedicated horse transport flights.
3. There are enough dedicated horse transport flights that there are purpose built horse transport cargo planes with a small amount of passenger space for vets and horse people.
4. Theres a button that puts these planes into horse mode.

but yes, I can't help wonder if pursuing right-to-repair/IP reform laws, even just in Washington State, would be anything here

Thrilling chase underway in Manchester...

I don't have much hope that new cars will be less invasive of my privacy any time soon, but this sort of project gives me hope that when the time comes to replace my car (hopefully a decade from now), that I might be able to convert it or some other pre-privacy-invasion car to electric.
