A spring that cannot be replaced

Daily 30 min Paintings from pinterest photo reference! It’s a fun exercise I was doing back in 2021 and I felt like trying out again. It makes me happy to draw peaceful landscape outside of my work. Also spring is in the air, and it’s making me so happy.

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

Instagram and TikTok have successfully created the Torment Nexus from Jim Carrey's iconic work, "Don't put people in the Torment Nexus"

THIS is the bear cave painting i was talking about, the line weight, the proportions, the fine details around the face, and the fact that this all had to be drawn from memory, idk man, it’s incredible to me. if i could meet one person from history it’d be the person that painted this bear 30,000 years ago

Mostly likely an RFID tag. A simple unpowered device that emits a signal when excited by an external magnetic field.

The fun part is that RFID chips are incredibly easy to break, and incredibly easy to clone/copy. Imagine buying your drink, then intentionally burning out the rfid chip with an extra-strong electromagnetic field and raising a stink because the machine won’t give you what you paid for. Free meal vouchers, maybe? Better yet if you can get behind the counter and burn out the chips on every cup at once.

You could also buy a cup, then scan and clone the RFID tag, and see what kind of system they’re using to keep track of what cups have refills left and which ones don’t. I’d bet money that it wouldn’t be complex or hard to reverse-engineer, and then it’s as simple as spoofing the correct information to the RFID chip reader at the drink dispenser, and you get 8000 refills for the next 99999 hours or whatever.

It’s shitty and dystopian when companies do stuff like this, but fortunately they usually do it in a very stupid way that’s easily exploitable if you have the right know-how and some tools.
