#63Very impressed by the responsiveness of this. But I gotta say, it's much more fun to play a physical theremin, which has slightly different controls (two antennae, one controlling volume and the other pitch).
https://www.gaudi.ch/OpenTheremin/ will run with an Arduino and it's very satisfying to get better at controlling.

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
An app which functions when you place the iPhone vertically in such a fashion that both hands are on each side of the phone, facing both cameras. You don’t need a stand, you could also use a salt and pepper shaker, a wedge of plasticine, your girlfriend/boyfriend’s knees... Sheesh, try to be less pedantically rigid, honestly .. it’s a cool app idea. All it takes is for the user to mount their phone vertically while t…
> pedantically rigid My original comment was perfectly reasonable… Sorry if asking clarifying questions about your hypothetical app seems to have hit a nerve.

#67I’m going to get pwned one of these days, considering my threshold for giving a random website access to my webcam is apparently mild curiosity and entertainment for 30s.
What would be the attack vector with indirect access to a webcam?
You are giving your face away, for one very obvious point.
Never give a random website access to your webcam. This is basic privacy 101.

#70If my Jack Russell is in the right mood, I can make him growl by bringing my hands up as if to stroke him.
I call this the Therrieremin.
