@catsalad one of my guys had a BT headset shaped like old handset. Used to be fun watching expression on the face of anyone new that walked into our area

@catsalad I still have all the necessary hardware and a plan to turn one of those into a real mobile phone...

Emi :ci_floppy: :shrimp_trans:

@catsalad the confused urge to hang up the phone so I can use the internet, but keep using the phone so I can chat in multiplayer :cursed_laugh:

@catsalad calling in Call of Duty artillery strikes like a pro.

If you know what a phreaker is*, you probably needs to schedule your mammogram or colonoscopy soon. >_>

Edit: *If you owned a colored box

@ascflushy @catsalad to the tune of the Killer's Humans

OMG, I just looked up the song and found a lyric video with the text: "Are we humans? Or are we denser?" I'm ded

@nrmacdonald if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

@nrmacdonald absolutely. I’d do it the same, all over again. Funny enough, this thread reminded me of my partner in crime. (Hi Matt! you’re my favorite SRE)
The first time we found a hot pair on a pedestal, it turned out to be his parent’s line!

@catsalad

Sasha

@catsalad that's not entirely how I wanted to be reminded but I'll take it 😀

Miah Johnson

@catsalad I am already on it, did both this year =)

Kev_Prime

@catsalad only due to Kevin's books otherwise I was born well after Phreaker culture.

@catsalad still waiting for parts for my blotto box to take out the phone grid.

@da_667 @catsalad

seems like AT&T et al are doing a pretty good job of taking out the phone grid regularly with no help from us. :)

CatSalad🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :blobcatrainbow:

@da_667 Oh man I haven't thought about that since forever! I think that was in a certain cookbook, wasn't it?

@catsalad the swedish chef, but with anarchist logos and spiked shoulder leather jacket

@da_667 I kind of want to bust out my oldest of archives, but it's probably just faster to visit textfiles.com or the like.

Chrisshy Keygen

@da_667 @catsalad blotto box... Well I just aged into dust thank you

@catsalad also pretty wild that the XBox controller is a rock solid semi-wireless solution for desktop to couch audio. No need for battery starved dedicated Bluetooth audio receivers.

@catsalad @natepowell
I’m still a bit confused by the multiple levels of story there. It’s gonna stick with me though

Like I’d definitely love to hear their record (can this be a movie please 🙏🏼 )

It seems kind of straightforward but there’s a fantasy element too

I wasn’t clear on the time period. I thought it was later than it was?

So it’s not entirely clear where they’re dialing from when they use that thing 📞

@catsalad
I hadn’t realized @natepowell was on here
Edited to add him 🎸

Enjoyed this book a lot

delProfundo

@catsalad lol i used to play gigs with one of these.

Phogna Bologna

@catsalad Some poor Gen Zer on here is going to wonder why he can't find the headphone jack on the landline box he found at the hipster thrift store.

blterrible

@catsalad I don't think you're going to be blue boxing this setup.
