If you’re handy with a soldering iron and know how to read a JTAG port, every chip on the pcb could be lifted and repurposed. Afaik a lot of them use miniature solar panels as power sources, which is absolutely repurposeable if you’re comfortable crimping cables. This piece too far from my area of expertise to do more than just speculate on, but I have to assume they have optical components that could be repurposed by somebody with the right skillset too
Plus the ace cashier will be a friendly face when you’re back in the store for the 4th time that day, after being sure you bought all needed components of your project during your first trip
These are rounded and rearranged versions of the dimensions you posted. Less accurate obviously, but it made it easier for me to visualize the difference and I figured I’d post it in case anybody else finds it useful for visualization

Hey, its me. Some people. I spend so much time looking for games that let me get that gambling psychology fix without allowing me to actually bet anything of value on them. Ranked ladders in games are peak, because the rank is meaningless but my stupid brain thinks its worth something so it feels like real gambling to win or lose it
At least 14. *screams until hoarse in industrial cybersecurity researcher*
If these games were cars you could register them as classics in California. If you played any of them on release, you should probably stand up and stretch after you read this comment
Quantum computing is trying to be ai, in the sense that it does have niche scientific uses it excels at but tech bro types want it to be the next general computer so they can make their empire on it. The only use case I’ve seen it excel at so far is generating precisely tailored probability distributions, which end up mostly being useful for simulating different models for quantum field theory. Even then I’ve only seen that in looped fiber implementations, which imo are a stretch on the definition of quantum computer.
Stupid games, stupid prizes. I’m really glad the gaming community at large is presenting a resounding “fuck off” to sloperators and their plagiarism machines trying to steal the work of actual creatives. It’s disgusting, and should be met with sharp rebuke
