Artifact research for people who hate typing

cd /mnt/artlab
echo #!|ngptio activate $arg0 ^ a
echo #!|ngptio deactivate $arg0 ^ d
echo #!|ngptio sense $arg0|ngptio read $arg0 ^ r
echo #!|ngptio info $arg0 ^ i

Now just use a heater to start something up, d heater to turn it off, r xray to automatically sense shit and print it out.

Hell, get creative and do a x_ray ^ /mnt/lp-whatever/butt to automatically print out info! wow this didn't seem to work, have to try again later

Bonus: You don't need to type the underscores in device names. impactpad works for impact_pad, xray works for x_ray, etc.

Oops the mainframe died, now what

When the mainframe is restored (e.g. from a temporary power outage/APC tomfoolery), gptio will helpfully forget all of the device names -- they'll all show up as UNKNOWN, so you can't refer to them by name.

To get their names back, use gptio info address, which will update its name and allow you to use it as a shortcut again.

The goddamn RD deleted prman

There's a backup ThinkTape in the RD's office you can insert into the databank. It contains a copy of everything in /mnt/control, and when inserted into the RD's databank will show up at /mnt/rd. Be sure to let your local RD know that he is very mean.

Scanning paper and other junk

Put piece of paper or other doodad onto a scanner. Go to your local DWAINE terminal and look for /mnt/sc-location. Run cat /mnt/sc-location/document to take a look at it (or copy it or whatever). Note that half-broken HTML and other garbage comes along for the ride. Welp!

Talking over radios / special channels

Prefix what you want to say with the following:

• :in: Talk over a nearby intercom
• :lh: Talk through the item in your left hand
• :rh: Talk through the item in your right hand
• :s: Robotic Talk (AIs, Cyborgs, Humans with a Machine Translator Implant)
• :h: General way to talk over extra headset channels
• etc. Command headsets have multiple channels, examine them to see

Note that, as AI, using :<letter> (except s) will broadcast on your main frequency, e.g. ":tButt" will act as if you had just typed "Butt". (maybe this is/could be used for talking over the primary/secondary/tertiary radio channels?)
