Same. Still have loads of random parts and electronics laying around

Yeah

Yup very relatable

I was lucky - for the most part I left things working... BUT... I only fixed, this guy re-purposes.... But yeah, even aged 8 I'd be stripping down an Acorn Electron or a BMW 328... give me a spanner and a screwdriver and 3 hours... I'm a menace! But things are usually better than worse after. Now I'm 47.... pfffff...... I have rooms full of trash - old laptops, dead TV's.... broken speakers.... hopefully soon I'll get my magic back and get these things fixed / re-purposed.

this guy has drive to do it and then gain more experience with material and tools and knowledge.. and he makes a living from this

This shit the real life hacks not some garbage

The reason that commercial security systems tend to look awful are due to storage constraints rather than the cameras themselves. A company may need to store weeks or even months of 24 hour footage, and video takes up more space as quality increases. The kind of capacity needed for that is expensive even for businesses, especially considering one building may have dozens or even *hundreds* of security cameras, all recording at once, non-stop.

@@boxwithahat there are ways around this, like motion and light detection so its not constantly recording. this would have to be used in low traffic locations too.

I'd love to use their cameras as Webcams!!!! most webcams are utter shit while smartphone cameras are great!

@@HAWXLEADER problem is the protocol. I can't remember if it was this guy but there was a video about reusing old laptop cameras, the camera itself uses 4 wires that actually follow USB protocol so you can even plug it into a regular computer USB. Cell phone cameras, however, have a completely different set of protocols, both hardware and software with many different pinouts and methods of connecting to a host device. Some cameras like the one for the Google Pixel have sufficient documentation and even have interface boards, however you'll need to do a lot of research to find which one will work. In addition, if you're using it as a USB type webcam then you may be limited by the speed of the USB protocol itself. This is why some cameras for high demand applications (think industrial and manufacturing uses like machine vision) use "Ethernet" cables because of the higher bandwidth and greater reliability.

There's a program on android called IP Webcam, and you can use an older smartphone as a motion activated security camera. It also works with a cloud backup service for $4 a month. You can also put one of those clipon fish-eye lenses on it.

@@pleaseadjustyourtracking6330 I used IP webcam for a few weeks on an older phone and the device kept overheating, bugging out and eventually turning off. After just those few weeks (few hours a day usage) my battery life went down to one fifth of what it used to be. Its possible to use smartphone cameras as webcams, but in general they were not designed to be used for longer periods, especially while the phone is transmiting that video feed. Newer phones could probably handle it better than my old galaxy S6, but you should still be careful.

You would like the Fairphone.

how can you do this? when you view it in the system, it's typically not a real key from what i've seen, especially if the system is the one the computer came with. if you installed it and paid for a license yourself though, its a different story and yes it would be on there... care to explain? im curious how you can do this. thanks in advance .

@@iH85CH001 with the software Windows Product Key Viewer for example

I don't think that's "legal" (depends on where you live), Windows OEM License, the one that comes preinstalled with the device, is supposed to be usable only for that particular device, non transferable. But may still be able to be used and activated in other devices if you try, though this will be "grey" in legal context. Unless we're talking about windows Retail/FPP license we bought separately from the device, that will come in handy since we have the right to transfer the license to other devices.

Vu meter

120 thumbs up, my most popular comment on youtube. My first experience of a similar way to display music was using an old color TV. There was still a few vacuum tube, in particular a large one with metal cap on top to rectify 25 kv and a bigger one for pulsing at 15 KHz to produce horizontal scan an the high voltage +25 kv. The CRT was 26 inches, diagonal. It was the old style with the phosphor being dots, not vertical stripes. It used dynamic convergence with 3 electromagnets close to the deflection 'yoke'. A PCB with 16 adjustable resistors allowed to adjust how much current is used to stir each color mostly near the 4 corners. I disconnected both horizontal and vertical wire from the yoke (like the science fiction pretend: don't adjust your tv, we control the horizontal and vertical... I used a 6 volt transformer, connected it on the horizontal wires of the yoke. I connected the vertical to an amplifier, in parallel with the speaker. Result: Same as with this laser, except: because of the dynamic convergence, trying to force the red, green and blue to center, the 3 colors were separated but followed similar path. The music was illustrated with these 3 intense, saturated, colors. Using a more recent CRT, we need to use magnets near the neck to force the color to separate. Otherwise, the convergence is so good that we just see a more boring white trace. It is hard to keep the color saturated in every parts of the screen. Modern CRT are just too good at keeping the 3 colors well aligned with the shadow mask.

Give it to a much older person .
