Previous images were from NOAA 15, here are a couple from NOAA 19 which I just RXed as well:

Public service message:

Remember that computers do not think. They didn't think in 1950, nor 1980, nor 2000, nor 2025.

"AI" LLMs give the illusion of thought but it's still not actual thought.

We tell computers what to do. They do it. End of story.

Got some decent images today

Picture of an indoor fireplace, taken thru the sight of a rifle. A red reticle is visible over the fireplace door.

Never heard of this "Santa" guy before but I think I'm prepared for the worst

A picture of an office wall. Half of a toy rat has been affixed to the wall such that it appears to be emerging from said wall. On the left is a power outlet at the same height as the rat, further left is the corner of a door, and on the right is the corner of a cubicle divider.

The rats... there are rats in the walls... on the walls... the walls are made of rats... rat walls.....

Screenshot of a social security number entry form on a website, for which Firefox is automatically suggesting a randomly generated password.

Infosec pro tip: use a different randomly generated social security number on each website you register an account for. That way–if one gets leaked–the others are still secure.

Picture of a Christmas gift which is wrapped in a way that makes it look very much like an explosive device. There is a flip-phone zip-tied to the box with multiple wires coming out of it, and the phone's antenna has been replaced with a screw.

Gift wrapping is my passion

Picture of a Logitech computer mouse which has been modified to have an RCA video cable input, with the reasons for this modification not being clear.

This Logitech mouse has RCA input, which is perfectly normal, as every other mouse in existence also has RCA. There is nothing strange here.

Picture of a 3D printed 3.5" floppy disk, with printed labels stuck on to make it look as though it is a Sony branded HD floppy disk.

I have 3D printed a "save icon"

A picture of a 110VAC power outlet with 2 in it, one of them being an A126 key, and the other a CH751 key. Nothing else is plugged into the outlet.

I've discovered a very simple method to test whether or not a power outlet is working

I don't know why I have "followers" cause I don't use this but I guess that just gives me a reason to. May just start posting my tech collection here or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Image of a pyramid shaped rat set on top of a golden coloured metal surface, as seen through the scope of a rifle. The surroundings are mostly blurred.

Rat pyramid spotted

(Btw, I have no idea who this is — it's just some random 3D model I found while messing with VR stuff)
