  • More than just “ripcord likes to have lights on at 6:00 pm,” surprisingly.

    It knows what brand lights you have, who’s interacting with it, who you might be with if anyone speaks in the background, what times and days you’re typically home… it’ll even infer your mood based on how your voice sounds.

    Unfortunately, Amazon isn’t required to disclose every bit of personal data they take from you, so only so much is known about it. If you consider though that data collection is a new, multi-billion dollar industry, and how effective hundreds of PhDs in data science and social-engineering can be with near infinite resources to develop tools to extract as much information from these devices as possible, it starts becoming more believable.

    Here’s a good paper I found: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.10920





  • Honestly, interesting thought.

    My first concern is fidelity - you can only get as detailed as the diameter of your laser, which I imagine is pretty big relative to the tiny features on PCBs. A 10 mil diameter sounds pretty good for a home job to me.

    How well does cured resin hold up to copper etchants? I would assume pretty well.

    What benefit does this have over other methods, such as transferring a laser print on glossy paper to a blank PCB? The resin/laser method sounds very similar, but more automated and essentially the same, minus the transfer step.

    Now I want to try this haha.
