Fantastic Fist - €12.49

Fantastic Fist is a platforming game focused on simultaneous keyboard and mouse controls. While the character can be moved around with the keyboard, the mouse can be used to interact with the environment by punching with a giant fist.

A puzzle platformer with tight controls and true pixel art, much like Celeste. Makes very good use of the controls available on a PC. Low system requirements (100 MB storage). Solo dev spent years perfecting the gameplay.

I don’t play platformers but I’d like to support the dev (not affiliated). I will gift it to you on Steam if you’re the first to ask for it via DM CLAIMED. As for games I have played, I enjoy little itch.io VNs by npckc, I just wish my devices were fast enough to run Ren’Py decently…

That’s why “availability” is a core tenet of security (according to some cybersecurity course I took). It is easy to prevent unauthorized access to data if you have no requirements on authorized access.

They are also used as parking ticket machines (in Europe we don’t have parking meters, you buy a ticket and display it on the dashboard, or in some places get a virtual ticket for your license plate). I don’t think the company exports these outside the Czech Republic, and Euro coins are not magnetic. So I’m afraid you’ll have to find another magnet-related exploit (maybe this)?

Here is a datasheet of one / photo. I don’t have the video of me fishing coins, I probably deleted it because it was unwatchable (it’s hard to fish coins while filming covertly!) but about 5 coins fit into the space behind the keyhole before they start being visible. The front panel is non-magnetic, unlike CZK coins, and the sound of fishing them out is very similar to throwing them in, so there is little suspicion unless you are at the wrong-gender toilet. Unfortunately, 10 CZK coins take effort to jam into the slot, so almost only coins up to 5 CZK ($0.25) get accidentally thrown in. Still, pays for my bus home.

A common public toilet till machine has a keyhole that looks like a coin slot. Turns out, HDD magnets are the perfect shape to fish out any coins mistakenly thrown in there.

Several interconnected PS3s inside, running Linux.

Lots of disabled people are avid gamers. This is a dick move and I hope they realize that.

They grew thanks to the open internet where everyone let them scrape their website’s content. They can’t let anyone do that again.

Same with &: &

Also happens in post titles. Use ꯴ or ＆, or ᐸ if not critical.

Yes, Bandersnatch is technically* a video game. Didn’t know they made others.

To be scammed untraceably even if you can barely use a PC.

Sensor wear

This does not happen AFAIK. Most phones have no shutters so tge sensors receive light all the time, and the little required power does not overheat it.

mechanical parts (if any)

This is a valid point but the actuators in a phone camera’s focusing mechanism are more like a speaker than a motor. They can last for ages, and many apps allow disabling autofocus when idle.

heat

This one is valid. Even basic image processing is a load on the CPU, and recording/streaming definitely is. Depends on how the camera is mounted to allow airflow.

gamble and see how long it lasts

Sure. The stakes are not very high if the phone would otherwise lay in a drawer.

I don’t know (as in I have zero clue) the camera is designed to operate that way.

There is no reason a camera cannot be on all the time other than power consumption. Why couldn’t it? The only limitation is software. Other parts of a phone can overheat from continuous operation (CPU et al., voltage converters, maybe flash LED and vibration motor) but not the camera.

The camera is on all the time, the recording/streaming only starts when requested or on motion detection. Did you expect a PIR sensor on a phone?

That’s the ground floor but the elevator only goes down and people don’t seem to notice the minus sign.

This is the most likely failed part, yes. If you feel adventurous, you can try repairing it like DiodeGoneWild. Looks like the auxiliary power supply (5V 1A independent of others; powers BIOS chips in standby to allow soft power-on) works but the main one does not. Unplug the connectors, connect the black (GND) and green (ENABLE) wires to signal a POWER ON state and check all the voltage rails. Many units use a powerful 12V supply and step-down converters to create the 5V and 3.3V rails, as well as an inverter for the -12V one – if that’s the case, you can try backfeeding 12 V from another PSU and see if the rest come on. Once you identify the failed power supply, check its primary transistor(s) (big 3-pin components on a heatsink) for a short or open circuit.

Many on F-Droid.

You dropped a hyphen. I wondēr where it fell.

Also, these industrial monitors have better heat sinking from the LED backlight, which increases power efficiency and service life – the two metrics their intended buyers care most about.
