How To Crack An Electronic Safe With A Magnet And A Sock

Payback says...

I owned a car stereo install shop for about 15 years. People would come to me and ask how to make sure their car didn't get stolen. Every time, I'd tell them, "sell it and take the bus".

The object of car "security" is to make the thief go on to lower hanging fruit. If someone wants your "you've-paid-huge-money-to-make-virtually-impregnable" '86 Civic, they'll wait for you to approach it, put a knife to your throat (this being in Canada) and take your keys. To quote W.O.P.R. "The only winning move is not to play."

I agree.
I only consider mine a fire safe...same with hotel safes. They are better than nothing, but not at all secure. For security, I would use the hotel office safe or bank safety deposit box. Anything less is just a deterrent.

One lap in the drone racing league

Add stereo cameras, broadcast it online in VR with controls in my hand to switch between vehicles...then make easily accessible via some mainstream media outlet and I guarantee you I will watch that.

The Anarchestra: hundreds of strange musical instruments

Bohemian Rhapsody played by 110 year old mechanical organ

newtboy says...

Since the camera moves, but the sound doesn't change to represent that, I would say you're at least right that what we see isn't what we hear. That said, I would guess he just recorded the audio separately with a decent set of stereo microphones properly placed for best sound recording.

This is very cool.
My only concern is that audio in this video has perfect stereo separation. It is virtually impossible to achieve this w/o recording each instrument separately and then mixing it later. That makes me suspect that what we hear is not what we see.

Bad/Smooth Criminal Piano Mash-up With Exceptional Skill

mxxcon says...

Misleading. What you see is not what you hear.
The sound is in stereo and there's no way the way it was recorded to have come out that way. Furthermore, music does not match up with his actions. And finally, you can hear more than just piano.

This kid skillful, yes. But what we here are theatrics and not his real playing.

I used to work for a car stereo place. I question I always got, "How can I make sure my stereo doesn't get stolen from my car?"

My answer always was, "Don't have one installed."

I had about $3000 in gear stolen when i was younger. The funny thing is the insurance company wouldn't insure it, and told me within a year it would probably be stolen. They nailed it. Almost a year exactly. Never again.

The Mechanics of the Film Projector

oritteropo says...

Yes, that's right. The 16mm projector shown here has mono sound and a single audio track. The 35mm cinema films had two tracks for stereo or dolby encoded surround sound.

Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia has a quite good overview here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound-on-film

I'm curious how multi-channel audio is achieved, as a single waveform would only generate mono sound.

Arrested for Drinking Arizona Iced Tea in parking lot

lantern53 says...

He was arrested for trespass, because he didn't leave when he was told to leave.

A business has control over their property, which includes the parking lot.

As far as judges go, you can flip a coin, one day this, another day that.

Judge probably doesn't go down to the local quickie mart and see beer cans that people throw out, condoms, people complaining that someone is in the parking lot playing their stereo too loud, just hanging out etc.

Monkey Island 2 - IBM PC-Speaker Soundtrack

jmd says...

Lol not everyone had a sound card back then. Saddly it does no look like anyone as done a video of the days of audio over the pc speaker. I mean it was mostly un exciting, but there were a few example of great engineering feets. Some games that used MOD music (usually if it was done on AMIGA first and ported to pc) mixed the digital music into a mono WAV form and used the interrupt heavy digital audio output over pc speaker method. I owned a game that I can no longer remember that had a custom audio track that was fairly simular, and rapidly alternated between 2-3 instrument tracks for a fairly convincing melodic background music without the huge performance overhead trying to do MOD music over pc speaker had.

If it isn't obvious, I was a huge audio fanboi back then. Started with my C64 and SID music (I even owned the external SID cartridge for 6 track stereo music), and when i got my first PC (486) I picked up a 2x cdrom and sound blaster PRO (had to have dat stereo sound) for my birthday.

Playing Quake on an Oscilloscope

xxovercastxx says...

You can really hear the seeds of Trent's current success with movie soundtracks here.

I never really played the game with the soundtrack in, but I used to throw it in the stereo and play it out the windows on Halloween to scare the shit out of the trick-or-treaters.

Foo Fighters with Zac Brown: "War Pigs"

ChaosEngine says...

Yuss!!

\m/

@Asmo, the Faith No More version is epic (pun very much intended)

When I was a teenager, I was hanging out in the guitar shop my mate worked in. We were playing War Pigs (Sabbath version) on the stereo and this dude comes in and says "wow, Mike Pattons voice sounds really weird"

just found this: Faith No More with Ozzy and James Hetfield!

Yes, it was just old enough to be retro-cool. Kind of like kids today listening to Nirvana. @deathcow and I were also listening to a lot of Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Dio, etc etc. Picture these guys: http://videosift.com/video/Heavy-Metal-Parking-Lot
