A city that accummulates a massive collection like that could hire someone to record the signals of all those remotes and enter as much data as possible. Then the stash could help salvage appliances that would become e-waste worldwide, as opposed to just those in that city.
There are RCs like this with no name, no model, no part number… just totally unidentified (should be illegal):
So ideally the DB would also store pics of them.
dedicating an entire community to the stance seems a bit much
That’s crazy talk. There are so many dynamics to non-voting that I’m not even convinced that 1 community is enough. This one community has to accommodate:
I’m not an anarchist but found it interesting to read their rationale for opposing voting and elections.
I’m personally very pro-voting
Then you should be very interested in the 2nd bullet. There are LOT of non-voters in the US and it leads to scumbags taking power (e.g. 2016 POTUS). You should want to see people discussing the low voter turnout problem that helps the republicans.
Woah, I’m glad you asked. I have an Iguana USB IR transceiver which runs on FOSS.
It has an IR sensor which can record remote control signals. But the project has quit! No idea if there is a competitor, but given their rationale (slow sales) I guess not. Wow… that sucks. I wonder if they just had bad marketing. Instead of targetting people like me who use the device to control a decreasingly popular MythTV rig, they could have targetted governments and NGOs with an interest in e-waste salvage operations. I just cloned their repo and fetched their last software release since the days are numbered.
