The SpaceOrb 360

It's a 6-axis controller I used for space flight sims (like Descent)

I feel like I should be hacking a Gibson from grand central station with this.

Buy/collect used books off students after they finish the course... Remove the ink, resell undercutting him by a ton and make a huge profit!

My wealth and treasure? It can be yours if you want it! Search for it! I left everything in that one place.

They do not use wifi. They use BLE over short range, or LoRa or FSK on 900mhz over long distances. If you wanted to see them you'd probably need a scanner built specifically to find them but idk if anyone has made one.

The connection isn't for you. It's so the TV can fingerprint the content you watch, and then send that utilization data back to the company.

You don't need much bandwidth to do this.

So with no wifi connection, and a blueray player, if you play Star Wars, they can fingerprint a few frames, send them back to Roku or whoever over sidewalk via your neighbors ring doorbell, and know you played star wars... Even with your completely offline setup

Not anymore with sidewalk and other similar corporate networks bypassing any requirement for the consumer to connect the TV to wifi

I do this and it's pretty smooth.

If you conflict by saving in both locations it will sync one as an alternate filename so you don't lose anything and can resolve it manually.

I also run it on my NAS, and my NAS folder has versioned backup on it... So even if I do mess it up by deleting it, i can recover it.

It aired from 87 to 94... So it's 30-40 years old...
