Ughhh if only I was earning some more on my streaming hobby, but I'll never stoop to that level where I get cash from strangers. I prefer getting paid for the work I do in real life.

It ain't much but "AI" doesn't yet have these advanced arms and legs so it can't touch itself nor have the know-how to fix itself or its fellows physically, yet,

It can't stick a multimeter's probe on the PSU pins while the computer's running. Not a lot of people in IT space have the balls to do that, lol

I've discovered some more expensive chargers with more features and stuff like SkyRC MC3000. That shit is so fucking expensive and I prolly won't be able to use all the features it has so not now, bear.

I know I like tinkering and stuff with the best but I need more experience and patience and yes, money, so I have to work for it. Plus, I needed batteries first. What am I gonna do with a charger without some more new batteries to play with ?! lololol

Some are so old the "fusion core recharger", as I'd like to call the xtar charger, don't even recognize them anymore. The charger touted it can revive overdischarged batteries but nope. Not even a peep.

I also found a few definitely fake 18650 cells. They're so light I could throw em a mile away if I throw at my best. I put em on, graded what I had and one only had about 200 or so mAh. There's one that the charger didn't even bother ! It recognized something's on the slot, but gave up

I still have some money left but I might've spent too much starting out. I have yet so many stuff to learn and read.

Yeah I spent a few moolahs, including new rechargeable batteries cos I'd rather not want a firework on my workbench BUT! I have ripped out some batteries off powerbanks that have died a long time ago. Turns out the batteries are still good. Few of em only have half capacity left from the original but I got told the powerbanks are 10 or more so years old...

Although the bots here aren't that many but I've seen some break through. Most of em have human women profile pictures and most get dealt with but eh I dunno. "AI people" are getting good though.

Idk it sucks. I'm glad I don't use Spotify but real artists who're just starting out are prolly better off putting their music somewhere else.

Also nice try but I ain't attracted to humans regardless of gender. I wanna be left alone

I know Reddit's full of bots as well (even here on Mastodon lol) but I went there and yep my suspicion was right. Some "people" there told the telltale signs were tons and tons of music and albums only on 2024 and 2025. Image was AI generated as well. I know what a poor generic AI generated image looks like and the name's boring and generic.

Idk. It sucks cos music's one of my "sources of energy". It's like a battery charger.

I had my gut telling me the sound feels fucking unnatural. Like I've been listening to it but it sounds.. "exaggerated". It's too "emotional", "relatable", "intentional", "defeated" but "inspirational"

When I looked at the discography, would you fucking look at that they have a literal ton of albums from 2024 and 2025, but none prior to those years. This can't be natural cos regular artists usually release albums with a year or more as gaps
