@RnDanger I was thinking about Lemon Pound Cake. If he were an introspective type, he might ponder how he refers to Black people and how that might affect THEM. As for the woman crying, well, it's an opportunity for her to consider how she performs her job and the respect she shows to the people she encounters in that capacity. With regards to her kid(s), she and the kid should go into therapy to discuss how they should handle things, not letting the kid stew in her mess. @mekkaokereke
@RnDanger Basically, the cops are dealing with embarrassment. The man and his family are dealing with actual trauma. @mekkaokereke

This Afroman trial is giving me life.
Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.
He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.
@mekkaokereke
I'm really glad he and his family weren't physically hurt! Those poor kids. -
@mekkaokereke he couldn’t even say his name! lol
@Nicovel0 @mekkaokereke Oh, you _know_ which word he was gonna use before stopping himself.

I will watch the video later but for now at least i can definitely agree with your last comment -
One of the cops that is suing Afroman, because other cops now make fun of him, and call him "lemon pound cake":

I will watch the video later but for now at least i can definitely agree with your last comment@RnDanger The video I posted elsewhere in this thread is very good at showing what the actual charges are and the guy goes through parts of the music video to highlight possible problem areas. He's both laughing and fascinated about how the 1A will balance with the cop's right to privacy. With regards to the actual security footage, he's clear on the cops having no expectation of privacy while doing their jobs. @mekkaokereke

@mekkaokereke I just watched the clip and it's not clear to me was that the plaintiff's attorney or Afroman's attorney asking the questions - because the answers they elicited sure did make Afroman's case for him. <<<g>>>

@mekkaokereke Wow I don't know if the testimony he's offering is going to make a winning legal strategy but I very much admire his balls for offering it. For sticking to his guns, metaphorically speaking. I know that I personally can't be vehement and clear under such emotionally charged circumstances.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo@mekkaokereke what a fragile baby that cop is. Afroman did the lightest possible roasting with that song and video. He literally called him a family guy and said he likes cake. This is such a childish lawsuit.

@mekkaokereke holy shit that suit.
-
@mekkaokereke list of things nobody would have cared about on a national scale until they took it to court: this guy will forever be mocked.
If he wanted people to keep his name outta their mouths, maybe he shoulda stayed outta Afroman's home and kept another man's property outta his pockets.
He's rightfully gettin legally dog walked on public record for embarrassing himself and dishonoring his badge. Lol

'what you're doing to these deputies'
He is not fucking doing anything to them! He is making music videos about his life, and posting them for his fans. That's his job, I assume. (I never heard of him before this, but he seems well practiced at it)

@mekkaokereke Thank you for posting this - it flew under my radar with everything else going on. Great responses from him. I only wish I could do the same if it were me.

Teardown of a 2026 LEGO SMART Brick
LEGO SMART brick from its side. (Credit: EvilmonkeyzDesignz, YouTube)
At the beginning of March this year LEGO released their new SMART brick, which looks like a 2×4 stud brick and is filled to the brim with sensors, LEDs, NFC and Bluetooth functionality, as well as a purported custom ASIC. The central idea behind it appears to be to add a lot of interactivity to LEGO builds while allowing for mesh-style communication with other SMART bricks. Naturally, this makes it a great subject for a teardown, which is what [EvilmonkeyzDesignz] over on YouTube did in a recent video.Normally the only way you can purchase one of these new bricks is by buying them as part of a ‘Smart Play’ set, but someone was selling singular bricks on EBay. As the brick is inductively recharged, it’s pretty well-sealed, requiring a fairly destructive opening method.
Directly below the transparent top is a speaker, with the opposing PCB on the main body containing a microphone as well as a number of RGB LEDs. On the opposite side of this PCB we find the photo sensor, but to get to this part of the PCB the copper wires that wrap around the entire main assembly have to be disconnected from the PCB’s side pads with some force as they’re apparently pressed in place without the use of solder.

Freeing the main PCB from its plastic enclosure also ended up being fairly destructive, but gave the first good look at its guts. Courtesy of Redditor [PsychologicalYak4619] who previously did a teardown and analysis of such a brick, many details are already available. There’s a separate Bluetooth 5.4 SoC marked EM9305 from EM Microelectronics as well as a 16 Mb Winbond SPI Flash memory chip.The main application ASIC – marked as DA000001-04 – is the real mystery, which is the marketed custom ASIC. Since this is a flip-chip package, taking a look at the die is super-easy, barely an inconvenience.
On this die shot we can see what looks like CSEM along with some additional letters that may or may not give a hint as to its design origins. This unfortunately means that we do not get any in-depth details on what this ASIC contains and what its capacities are.
Since there is no RAM on the PCB, it appears to at least contain some amount of RAM inside, so assuming that the SPI Flash IC is used by it and not the Bluetooth SoC there might be some hints in the firmware if it were to be extracted.
It’s also of note just how well-sealed these bricks are, making them instant e-waste if anything were to go wrong with any of its components. Considering that the lifespan of Li-ion batteries is generally 2+ years before they begin to significantly degrade, its built-in battery might be the thing that these bricks become the most famous for, not to mention make it run afoul of EU regulations that come into effect next year.

this movie just keeps escalating. seeing Keanu run through downtown Chicago and up an opening drawbridge was wild. great sequence.
