I'm designing a retro-style gaming mouse for retro-computing: Amiga, Atari, C64, and several protocol variants. It also has USB. It has a scroll wheel and extended protocols like recent adaptors from USB, and also a…
Reverse Tab ⇤ is still with us, above the Tab ⇥ symbol. It is at the top to indicate that it is generated while holding Shift. Many people have got the misconception that both symbols together is the Tab symbol, though.…
I've been posting a similar idea for years. Require that for each piece of commercial software there is a "method" to open it up and use without requiring on-line servers. The method is be registered with a special…
The iPad Mini starts at $599, with a more comparable screen size. And there isn't really any competitive tablet with Android in that size. I've only seen cheaper tablets with lower specs.
People already entrenched near the poles will fight to keep others out. Right-wing anti-immigrant parties are on the rise right now already. They also tend to not want to recognise climate change -- because that would…
I have seen the date "September 1" be disputed on forums. Is there a credible source other than the book that the article refers to?
Location: Stockholm, Sweden Remote: Up to 50% Willing to relocate: Only within the county. Technologies: Programming video (everything: codecs to A/V), input devices (embedded), compilers (back-end), UI. Résumé/CV:…
You seem to need caffeine, considering that it is on your mind... :)
Firefox now supports WebSerial though. An alternative to Via/Vial could perhaps use that. Kinesis' keyboards with their "Clique" keyboard has a web-based configuration tool that uses WebSerial. Their older "SmartSet"…
Long list here: https://meettheuk.substack.com/p/a-complete-list-of-count-bi... I could get behind most of them, actually ... were I to live in the UK.
One of my pet peeves are pages that detect that I am from another region and then redirect: not to the corresponding page in my language: but to the site's front page with a different region/language setting. Sometimes…
Growth is unrealistic. During the industrial revolution, people were still exploring the world and expanding their reach, establishing new colonies for raw materials. We are living in a global economy now. There is no…
I'd say that 4-6 hours is often the cut-off point for total travel time city-to-city -- provided that the train is fast. I and a friend once started at Stockholm Central station to Malmö Central Station at the same…
I think the way airline tickets are priced is a big factor, and needs to change. It is often cheaper to take a connecting flight to an airport and flying from there than to start from that airport. That disincentivises…
You could use any programmable microcontroller with a USB interface. Consumer products tend to have fuses set to they can't be programmed again. The latest driver registered with Microsoft for the product you're going…
A few years ago, plugging in a Razer USB mouse made Windows download and run a installer from which the current user could start PowerShell with administrator privileges. Razer first tried to downplay the issue, but…
The other day, I tried the latest Kubuntu on a Samsung netbook from 2011. It was impossibly slow, and Wayland did not even render colours correctly on the screen.
The 3D file browser was one of the demo programs that came pre-installed on SGI machines, at least in the late '90s.
It is a touchy subject. When you have it, you don't want to think about it all the time.
Install/Enable support for the Compose key. Map it to Menu or some other unused key. Then press Compose and three hyphens in sequence. I have used emdash, typed this way for many years before LLMs. I had got the habit…
One of my hobbies is making replicas of movie props, and my own creations that seem to be from fictional universes. I would love to see the tablet and "quill" embellished a bit. Would it be possible to run a custom LLM…
I'm on a few classic forums with threads that are over 20 years old, with a wealth of information about a topic. It is easier to revisit a thread and find new posts when posts are in chronological order. Most such…
Some enthusiasts have made custom PCBs for Topre and Niz switches, even columnar ergo. I've not seen the ErgoDox layout specifically, and I dunno how to source individual switches though. There is also the XVX Whisper…
But isn't there be a legal difference between a "conspiracy" that led to a bad situation and a "conspiracy to commit murder"?
Isn't the purpose of zines to publish them? Then how could that even be considered concealment?
