Few years ago I did an educational project to extract waveforms from logic capture - it was doable [1]. But this approach may have limits on newer faster FPGA based controllers. [1…

> packet-loss For one it can adequately show if your WiFi is performing well... In a home network setting I've got a UDP display sink (64x64px, RGB) with a custom protocol. It work…

I would give the LLM statistical tools that work to find general anomalies, distributions etc. from the spreadsheet. Then it's about an LLM interpreting (or not) those results in n…

Reduce Transparency in Accessibility settings removes the glass effect, but I believe has been updated to be closer to the translucent effects in current iOS.

Another option is water slide decal. It can give a really seamless look, but is time consuming and expensive.

Really cool! A quick enhancement you can add, which will help mobile users, is adding appropriate touch specifiers to the element. Currently I am unable to drag the pen to draw -- …

Better to draw boxes, print, then scan. I reckon it will somehow be possible to see through the sharpie -- for example change in shine.

As a hobbyist I use it to drive HUB75 LED matrix. I use the W version so it receives UDP packets of each line to draw a full frame. This equates to about ~5mbps at my desired frame…

I can't stress how fast it is when using on resource constrained envs like a Pi Zero. I intend to use system python there but previously poetry will simply crash the whole Pi while…

What really helped me was doing some sessions with an Orthoptist to reeducate my eyes. I used to see double when stressed sometimes and could never imagine to converge/cross my eye…

I tried to make a bidirectional channel from a webpage to a python script over MIDI. I'd just found that with sysex you can pack any arbitrary data that you want, that python can c…

I find these a visual noise. What can be achieved with a subheading "Bug fixes", "Features" etc. is repeated in all lines.

At one point my laptop had some thermochromic indicators to indicate when the laptop became warm. I salvaged it from dead duracell batteries (ones which have a battery level indica…

Sorry but at home I would like to connect to my WiFi, with my preferences and access to my local network. The last time I was forced to use a common access point was in my dorm at …

A good read, thanks. I like the description of take/give sides and it's well portrayed. I wondered if there's any take home message here for salvaging a give-take conversation. I'd…

I see gridlines on my iPhone, but only if I zoom in a lot. I'm guessing this is a case of "designed and exported on Retina display, for Retina display". Because yeah, in true 1-bit…

M5Stack sells some really good quality modules and I think kits as well. These work fine with Arduino, and also with their own UiFlow software. The advantage I think with their pro…

Correct, it's not possible in default PDF view in Chrome -- contentscript is not injected. However as long as you have full access to pages, you could intercept a PDF link, render …

Cheapest version is 31$. Without internal pullups. Which means it's basically gonna bit-bang if you want to interface with SPI, I2C etc. I'd consider a raspberry pi even if it cost…

Long time reader of your blog, thanks for doing what you do! So I've been into "connector technologies" (if that's a thing) for a while -- more specifically I really admire the sim…

I'd like to do this in theory, but practically I find it not worth it. Consider a case where your partner or your kid lose their phone, are stranded, and borrow a phone from someon…

I won't blame them -- It seems to be the hard-to-customize youtube embed that's breaking it.

> This allowed other apps like MonitorControl [1] and DisplayBuddy [2] to port some Lunar features (like DDC on M1) to their own code. So I'd say it's still useful enough. When I w…

The banks (BnP, CdE) I use ask you to confirm in their apps, and have never seen this before! Not to say this isn't legit -- I can completely imagine this happening. That said, I a…

Unfortunately the link is unreadable on mobile due to the sidebar taking all the space.
