Channel 72 on Spectrum Cable in NYC cycles through the NYC DOT traffic cameras with realtime update speed albeit in standard definition. I tune in and leave it on in the background and it’s like having a window with an interesting view. It’

I like multi-function displays (MFD) which were probably a necessity in aviation before touchscreen technology and also could be operated by a pilot with gloves on. Multi-function display - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Wow, thanks for making this! I’m having lots of fun playing with it. A quibble: Choosing between Draw|Erase|Toggle is awkward on mobile (Safari on iPhone). The old toggle between Draw|Erase was quick but the new pulldown list widget is in t

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing xwax with the world! Are you aware of Rasteri’s SC1000? It uses a magnetic rotary sensor with a modified version of xwax instead of time-coded vinyl. I wonder if xwax has support for other DIY jog wheel cont

To mitigate link rot I always include a title along with the URL. This is especially important for URLs with opaque ids like on YouTube instead of slugs. If you visit a pulled YouTube video link you’re left not knowing the title to search f

It’s a wonderful resource but they neglect the pagetitle element which is set to “McMaster-Carr” on every page. Links opened in tabs/windows all get the same title and bookmark titles need to be manually edited to be useful. Why do dev

Why did Apple remove the cursor keys that would appear in landscape aspect? There’s still plenty of unused space for them. Thankfully there’s the long press on spacebar gesture but I only recently learned about that. The PlainText app would

I think it was 3 to 6 VME-sized boards. There was 1 Display Generator board, 1 Geometry Engine board (12 x Intel i860 processors in the RealityEngine2), and 1, 2, or 4 Raster Manager boards (for framebuffer and texture memory). I’m not sure

This “Smart Window Fan” is a window-mounted economizer. If it’s cooler and dryer outside, like at night, it opens its louvers and pulls in cool air and exhausts warm air. It also has a HEPA filter. I assume it has humidity sensors too to av
