Did you know that you can 3d print a house in less than 24 hours? You can't download the concrete, but you could download the plans.

We're maybe slowly creeping towards a post-scarcity world. If we can avoid destroying ourselves or the planet in the next century, we might get there. But, the entrenched interests are holding on with their fingernails.

One awful example of this is library books.

In the before times, people had to go and take an actual physical book out of the library. Along came e-books. In theory, a library now only needed to buy a single copy of a book and they could lend it out to everyone. It's no surprise that they didn't do that, instead if they want to loan out 10 copies at a time, they buy 10 books.

What's really stupid is that the publishers weren't satisfied with that arrangement. They also want to simulate wear and tear on these digital ebooks, so it can be just like paperbacks. So, after 26 loans, DRM on the ebooks means they self-destruct.

Who the hell thought that anyone wouldn't download a pirated house? How out of touch do they need to be?!

For safety, never plug an unknown USB drive into your house.

I just tried it and now my front door won't lock.

My house got hacked when I did this once.

You’re either going to download it or burn it to the ground.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 hours ago

Nah. It would just power up and have no data connection. Unless you bought it in Israel...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

It's 50/50.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I totally would.

Problem is, too many greedy people would hook up so many storage drives to download thousands of houses that my house would not have any space left on earth to place it once it is finally finished downloading.

If the outlet has an earth ground and you left the USB plugged in long enough, you would eventually download the earth, then it's just copy, paste you got your own earth.

I'm an electrician with a mind for crime and I'm stealing your kilowatt-hours

On a more serious note, this is kinda what you do if you leave your home network unsecured. Install linux problem solved

I'd download a house or a car in a heartbeat, and never feel the tiniest inkling of guilt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Stop right there, criminal scum

I wish it was possible...

Now I wonder what would happen if you put a USB killer into one of these.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it'd fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn't even get through it.

If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it'd act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.

No idea for sure though and I'm not an electrician.

Time to go to a friends house. I have experiments to conduct.
