Robotstreamer.com is a Twitch-like website where you can pay to control a robot in someone’s house and issue it things to say over text to speech.
A guy has spent about 10 minutes trying to make the robot I’m watching crash into a vacuum cleaner.

Some guy in Argentina got a QR code tattooed to his arm. When scanned the QR code would open a YouTube URL which had videos of his favorite team scoring goals.
Problem: The video got removed from YouTube after a copyright complaint. So the permanent tattoo is now broken.

Getting a peek at Allawi’s online operations was relatively easy. To arrest him for it, the DEA would need to definitively link Allawi to his AlphaBay account, which meant they’d need to buy drugs from him. And to do that, they’d need bitcoins.
This had daunting implications for a governmental office, Westbrook realized. The task force might buy $1,000 worth of the volatile currency, only to wake up the next day and find their wallet’s value down to $900 or up to $1,100. Agency bigwigs didn’t love schemes deviating from tradition, investigators say. They certainly were reluctant to become bitcoin speculators. “It was a headache,” Westbrook says. (But not unheard of: As part of a parallel investigation into AlphaBay, DEA agents in 2016 bought drugs using bitcoin. Before that, they purchased crypto as they sought to shut down Silk Road.)
Shit bitcoin does defeat the State (by being too volatile).
