I had an old project where I tried to find myself on Google Streetview using my Google Location History - kind of a narcissistic attempt to turn the panopticon on itself. It looks for when I was in the same place as the date of a Streetview panorama for that location.

There is vague idea being pushed around that 'software product' as a thing people would buy is 'dying' and, while it is deeply stupid, it is definitely becoming... something else.

The 'side-project' and 'side-hustle' subReddits are all people launching their 'gym helper' app and looking for their first customers, all ignoring the 100 previous posts of exactly the same thing, all of them vibe-coded.

Oh hell yes. Oh. Hell. Yes.

LLMs are quite good at helping you gain flash/write access to your old hardware (after some minor soldering). Shown here: an early Beeline device jailbroken to accept custom OTAs.
