Elon Musk Is a Far-Right Activist
Warzel is one of my favorite tech culture reporters. He captures Musk’s stance perfectly by quoting Frank Wilhoit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
De-registering a BL102-2 handset without a base
The base for my BL102-2 handset recently died due to a power surge. Got a new one because I already had multiple handsets. Then I’m sitting there trying to figure out how to register the handset with the new base. When you have the base the handset is currently registered to it’s easy, there’s a menu option on the base. Without the base it’s, well, easy … if you can find the info.
For my own reference here’s the process:
- press the [Menu] button, enter *7890#, press [Menu] again
- you’re now in the system menu for the handset
- scroll up twice to “REGISTER CLR” and press [Menu]
- You should see a confirmation message, press [Menu] one last time.
Info found in the Q/A for the BL102-3 on Amazon.
I was looking for a way to auto-generate some version information for a project. I didn’t even know git had this functionality!
And as the recent #gamergate saga confirmed, there’s no lack of angry, alienated young men begging for stories that put them at the centre of a fictional universe.

Quite a nice shot at the #gamergate crowd from an otherwise unrelated post.
