My grandmother has dementia. About twice a day, she calls my parents every 5 minutes, forgetting that she just hung up. The calls are always the same: "You live there now. Yes you have money. We came to visit you yesterday." This can go on for an hour or so. My parents are incredibly patient, but after a couple of these calls, they'll just leave the phone to ring. The soundtrack of the phone constantly ringing in the…
Thanks :)
Control your fan speed with your heartbeat. I created this while setting up a home trainer for bike training in my garage during the lockdown in 2020. One issue with home trainers, unlike biking outdoors, is that you don't get the benefit of the wind generated by your speed that cools you down. So you sweat a lot, and this creates dehydration. Not cool (pun intended). The solution is to use a fan. But when you are la…

I worked beautifully for a few years displaying Apple's "Find My" via a Chromium browser in kiosk mode. However, Apple closed off web access to Find My, so I've now redone it via Google Maps. The Google Maps version doesn't work nearly as well and the maps are cluttered with lot's of stuff you don't want to see, so I'm currently looking at redoing it again by using the Home Assistant app and API.
When I was a student there was this power-of-two game on my friend's iPhone that I was literally addicted to. I didn't have an iPhone and eventually the game even disappeared from the AppStore. I missed it very much and my friends jokingly mentioned building a copy just for me. They never got around to it but at some point I thought "maybe I should give it a try?". So I gave it a try with no game dev knowledge and th…
2c of feedback - I'd love to have an unlimited undo to be able to backtrack and try different paths woth the same seed; sometimes the game doesn't end even if there are no moves left; and related to that it won't hurt to have a "hint" option to show a possible move.
Ps. Also the 2048 game was a blatant rip of "Threes", which would've been fine had the 2k guy not decided to monetize it.
For a long time I wanted to listen to lots of different stuff, podcasts, sermons, YouTube videos, online courses. But I'd always forget about them and never got around to listening to most of them.
So last year I started tracking this in a Google Sheet. Initially just a link of URLs, then I added date added/date completed, length, etc. Recently I even added some custom menu items in Sheets so I can add items and mark them done faster.
I've greatly increased the amount of audio content I consume, even when I get in the car it's easy to select something to play next. But one conclusion: I add on average 4 items per week and I listen to only 3, so my queue grows unbounded.
There is a lot of stuff I am working on it and I am planning a port to using Gatsby instead.
Would appreciate if anyone has feedback.
Also, I wrote a bot that notifies me of stock price changes for stocks that I subscribe to on Telegram. I haven't fixed it as the code has had some issues recently and I plan to work on fixing it once I have the time.
Total game changer for tinkering
