That is a life-changing hack right there! Reminds me of an old glitch I experienced in the early Nokias that allowed the receiver of a call to listen-in on the line before answering.

Do you happen to remember the model of that Nokia? I had a guy in high school show this to me once, but nobody believed me when I told them! I knew I wasn't crazy haha


A strange coincidence that I was actually just reading about the CMOS sensor in the camera yesterday. You can see yourself the quality of the sensor here:

Wow this is awesome, thank you for sharing this.


I would also like to point out that one of the greatest parts of the Sonic games IMO was the ability to enable the in-game debug mode, allowing edits to the level with various sprites. A definite source of childhood curiosity with gaming/code/design.

I look forward to the day we can track larger populations of this this data in real time. I say this because yesterday me and a good friend got back from a long road trip and one of the more interesting ideas I thought we discussed was the notion of an ever-increasing level of synchronicity between each of our creative/entertainment brainwaves, whether that increase in overlap could be mathematically predictable, and finally whether a gigantic clap of overlapping unified consciousness could be considered a type of singularity. We also joked about which of our favorite youtube videos could do it.

Let's be honest. It will probably be hit by another vehicle far before that distance is reached. Cue safety discussion.
