Meet the new BOTs


Same as the old BOTs.

Franlab is an electronics channel that I came across about 8 years ago

Fran is outspoken trans, and electronics wizard extraordinare.

She has restored equipment from the moon landing for the Smithsonian.

For many years had her own company manufacturing effects pedals for guitars.

What she discussed here are bots that may spell the eventual end of the human usable internet.

I'm pretty sure she has dealt with that claim in the past. There are photos of her from many years ago, too.

ETA: I can't see why it would matter, anyhow.

Messing around with old electronic equipment is beyond cool. I go way back with that stuff.
