Yowza really makes it
2lbs seems… like a lot for those small things.
Clearly some science is in order.
It’s hyperbole in an attempt to weaponize methheads. But yeah, go grab a few and test it, maybe we weaponize meme skeptics too.
“Flock cameras contain over 300USD of precious metals, prove me wrong”
I love it.
We’re gonna need a large sample size, so better test at least a dozen cameras, just to be sure.
Maybe its all a heatsink or something
Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?
Are you a lunatic?
Yes I am American.
Also the gold likely needs some pretty expensive chemicals to extract.
It’s funny that Europeans complain about Americans being dumb but also can’t comprehend converting units of measurement.
We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds
square inch of pounds
Pound force or Pound mass?
Pounding your mom’s mass with incredible force/s
And Americans know a pint’s a pound.
Sterling? Not since the 90s
Well you know, the full saying is “a pint’s a pound the world around, except the UK where it’s several quid, and really mostly in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar”
Depends on the flesh you’re rending - the original conversion was from whales but the popularised version is with bacon rended over camp fires; it’s been this way since 2006AD so it’s a pretty well established system. Semper fi, Imperialism.

Reply to wrong post? Pint is 1/8th of gallon and gallon came from old Norman French with latin roots.
Nah, just making fun of imperial.
Car widths being the result of roads built by the Romans is historically charming, but that kind of thing is not the basis for a measurement system you should expect people to take seriously. It’s just a series of band-aids on band-aids.
We can comprehend it. We just don’t see why we should be the ones doing it instead of the few idiots who still measure things with their feet like a bunch of fetishist cavemen
Europeans
This is the the real way I know you’re American lol.
It’s the WHOLE WORLD other than you (and perhaps special mention to the UK and Canada being weirdos using multiple systems)
Weird how colonialism affects things, right? Our industrial revolution happened while we still used British units, so I suppose you can thank them.
The metric system reached us too late. Nobody wants to spend the money to convert entire industries. It’s easier and cheaper to just do the conversion.

There are multiple industries who prove this isn’t a blanket rule.
There’s a reason you buy soft drinks in 2 L bottles and not by quarts or whatever unit you use for that kind of size. Because of alcohol sizes, people also intuitively know 500 mL (which I believe has pretty much replaced 16 flozus bottles) as well as 700 mL bottles for wine, etc.
There are a bunch of other examples where metric is seeping in.
I feel very sorry for US based engineers though, since many industries don’t really have the same push to convert, RIP.
I also LOVE seeing that many American social media creators have started using “grams of protein” (they still say per “serve”, instead of per 100g, which is silly, but in time they might notice that grams per 100g is a percentage and see how much more useful that is for comparison purposes).
There’s even this guy who weighs food to see which is more “justified” for the price. Eventually his viewers will know how much things weigh.
We’ll get ya, in time. In time you will be assimilated, resistance is futile ;)
Contains like $100 in batteries which have no theft registry and are easily rewrapped at a vape shop. Also often an rpi or other general purpose SBC so $300 isn’t far off. Some even have nice separate camera
Do they have GPS locators? They’re going to need to be
disabledliberated first.
My concern is once it comes off the pole. You will no doubt have to take it home to extract. Does it not have a way of being tracked?
IFixit teardown when?
Just wrap it in tin foil. It’ll be fine
I’m not ruining a perfectly good hat for some gimmick
I’ve heard rumors there’s an unsecured unmonitored usbC port on almost all of them. Completely unrelated: Did you know you can buy USBC power devices that overload any port they’re plugged into and fry whatever device they’re connected to? It’s true they sell them on Amazon! What a fun rabbit hole to get lost in, sorry I’m rambling with my completely unconnected train of thoughts!
Booster bag.
Personally if I was gonna rip one of these apart I’d just drive into the mountains and rend it down in the back of my truck.
2 lbs copper in a doorbell?
Edit: Ah, not a doorbell. Traffic cams. *Gets sawzall
2lbs of copper in suped-up traffic cameras.
No
That’s not the Floki I remember :)
What’s all this copper in? That’s a large motor-worth of copper.
That’s a shit ton of gold too. Gold in electronics is used to coat connectors and is only present in trace amounts.
Ssshhh.
