I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. ✔️ Maybe you’ve heard or maybe you haven’t, but there is ongoing drama in the crypto space. Not even necessarily drama, just mind-blowing behavior from Logan Paul to SPF with FTX. All of this has reminded me of a topic I’ve wanted to make a video on: NFTs are not what they seem. These are photos I printed on a Kodak printer at CVS, but they’re being sold as NFTs. There’s a big misconception that when you buy an NFT, you’re buying the artwork, but that’s not true. The blockchain only confirms that you own the NFT, not the artwork. I heard someone say before that when you buy an NFT, you’re just buying a URL, but I never looked into it further. So today, we’re going to look into what you actually get when you purchase an NFT. I would say NFTs are the low point of crypto, but then something else happens and we reach a new low. ...

And on each GitHub project, there is a tab for issues, where users or the developers themselves can open up anything that might be an issue with the project. Not typically, the Issues tab has a place where useful discussions take place. And other times it’s a source of entertainment. So today, I’ll be sharing my five favorite GitHub issues that I found over the years. So let’s start with number five. The first issue is for a project called Neo fetch. It is a command line system information tool basically displays information about your system, the OS kernel uptime, the issue that was opened was titled at Neo fetch is not displaying the weight of my computer as a possible for Neo displaying the weight of my computer can see the comments and what ask your kitchen scale. So, I don’t know if this person was serious when they open this issue. But as you could expect from the internet, comical replies ensued. This is really good idea, weight and volume are always hard to measure would be really useful. One could see the current weight of their laptop, depending on the battery percentage. So reading the thread, there was actually some pretty decent suggestions besides the funny ones. Since they are scraping hardware information about the computer, someone suggested that once the hardware information was determined, they could scrape publicly available information for the weight of different components. Either way, that being said this was not implemented, but nevertheless, still pretty funny. ...
