HOW TO SET/CHANGE THE TIME ON THE Y2000 MINI CAMERA By Regis Casillas

Chances are, if you've been on Amazon, AliExpress, Wish, Temu, etc., you've seen these "mini cameras". This particular one is called the Y2000, which is a 640x480 keychain camera with surprisingly decent image quality.

By default the camera sets the date to sometime in 2067, so this will need to be set manually. This wouldn't be an issue if the camera didn't force a timestamp onto the images and videos you took. The instructions for the Y2000 camera cites that to change the time, you'll need to use "an included CD" to change the time. This may have been true when the device was launched years ago, but my version (purchased November 2024) didn't include one. And I couldn't find the supposed program online after countless digging on Google.

**SO HERE'S HOW YOU WOULD CHANGE THE TIME ON THE Y2000 CAMERA**

The first step is to make sure you've used an SD card with the camera prior. This will create a file called "TIME.txt" on the root of the SD card. Then connect your camera to your PC or insert the SD card into your PC.

Do NOT open the "TIME.TXT" file with Notepad, otherwise you'll end up with scrambled characters. Instead, open the file up with Notepad++

Once you open the file, you'll see "2017-03-08 12:12:12" along with "NUL NUL NUL...." Do NOT touch the "NUL" part, instead you're going to want to edit the written date to the current date. The date is formatted in YYYY-MM-DD and the time is formatted in Military format (23hr:59min:59sec).

Once you've set the time, save the document and put the SD card back into the camera, or disconnect it from your computer, and power the camera on by holding the button

The next time you take a photo, the forced time stamp should show the correct date.

Working on a Cartoon Comic rn

Her name is Tess Bach, she is 24, and no she doesn't do woodworking. The comic will explain the pic once I release it.

Sometime last summer, I was able to emulate Sarah Anderson's art style (down to the copyright mark) and I created my own "Sarah's Scribbles" character. I'm posting this because I know she'll never see it >:3

The three mysteries of life: Where do we go after we die? How were the pyramids built? And what the hell happened on Webtoon Canvas that made them have to explicitly say this when you're uploading your comic?

"Returning to College" - Regis Casillas (2023) REVISION: This was originally a self-deprecation comic I made, but I've took it down and edited the comic to make it more of a "redemption" tale. I start college in a few days for the first time since dropping out ages ago, and I'm nervous.

Turning Pictures into Audio (and back to a picture)

So I made two python scripts called the Baird Encoder and the Baird Decoder (named after John Logie Baird), and what the Baird Encoder does is that it converts your image into a mono audio file using the same concept as that of an analog television. The Baird Decoder on the other hand converts the audio BACK into an image, albeit in black-and-white. The decoder can also display mechanical television signals and rip every image frame from that audio signal clip (assuming the signal is perfectly stable)

If anyone wants to check them out, here are the github links (please read their README's before using either of them):

What's the point of Pride?

So I'm seeing a lot of people asking why Pride exists. Like why should we let a bunch of people flaunt who they like?

Well maybe it has nothing to do with the fact that for a good while, liking your own gender could get you hurt, disowned, or even worse.

Maybe it has nothing to do with the fact that these people are told that their existence is wrong, that they'll target the children, that they're nothing but mentally ill degenerates.

I highly doubt that it's because if the truth came out, they could be sent to a conversion camp to be forced to be straight. Only to be traumatized or repressed.

I'm sure it's not because that they've been forced to hide their feelings, or forced into a relationship they never wanted, just to avoid the repercussion for simply loving their own gender.

It's unlikely these homophobes would justify their hate with religion or false stereotypes, instead of something factual, right?

And I'm sure people are more accepting now. I'm sure these people would be okay with seeing two men holding hands in public. I'm sure they won't tell them to "keep it in the bedroom" or to "stop forcing your agenda on us".

I'm sure Pride isn't because people are tired of being ashamed over what they can't control. I'm sure it isn't because these forbidden lovers want to finally express themselves.

I'm sure that can't be the case. It's gotta be another silly holiday.
