Total hidden fem I watched recently called Kevin Can F— Himself. It’s a unique concept where any time the titular at character is on screen, it’s filmed like an 80’s sitcom. As soon as he leaves set, it’s a stark drama.

Really unique concept and haven’t seen anything like it before. 2 seasons with a proper ending. It’s currently on Netflix.

Another better known one is Yellowjackets. Although, major gore/stress/horror warning on that one.

My theory: 3.5-turbo-instruct is the only sentient one and it looks up the answer in a chess-specific solver every time to make sure it’s correct.

I can imagine being robbed and a drone just flies around with blinking red and blue lights with a siren.

Gotta be at least 3 if I had to guess

Technically speaking you’re supposed to destroy your local copy of you no longer have the original since the rights stay with the original. That being said, no one is coming to knock on your door for photocopying some books you owned and no longer own.

I did my searching based on music/CDs since the wording is a lot more clear, but the same rules apply since were still talking about copyright infringement.

As long you’re making the copy for personal use and aren’t selling/distributing, you are fully in the clear:

  • It’s okay to copy music onto special Audio CD-R’s, mini-discs, and digital tapes (because royalties have been paid on them) – but not for commercial purposes.

As far as ethical, this is mostly up to you, but unless it’s from an independent artist/distributor, I personally see it as: if you were never going to be a customer to begin with, they're not losing anything. I am, however, against then reselling it yourself. Ymmv.

Not being able to see the face of the person who does the stupid thing also has a massive impact on how people think of the other drivers. Similar to how (most) people who would chew someone out over the phone will hesitate to do the same in person.

My phone support days had way more customers willing to be nasty than any of my retail jobs.

It has some fancy features to allow for custom heating presets among other things. Also, it means you can easily repair/modify the hardware for whatever reason you might come up with.

I want your attention in my mouth

Short version is that most of these are based on the ESP32 microcontroller. They allow you to upload code of any sort and have it make use of the hardware available. They also allow you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allowing you to do all sorts of unique IoT stuff without needing to find a random company to make it for you and have access to your network.

As a current example, I’m planning combining the smallest one and the digit display to connect to the ODB port on my car and show my gas mileage, digital speed, etc since I have an older car.

Plus they’re just neat!
