Some information about the Toyota cases: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_... page 14 is especially interesting. And more technical information: https://www.safetyresearch.net

For me the biggest problem is that the registered letter is not the letter that was hit by the finger, but the letter that the finger was lifted up from. Slide-to-type is off.

This did not help in my case. I have 3 DisplayPort 1.2 monitors, and half of the open windows get still tossed around randomly when the monitors wake from sleep, or when the whole PC wakes from sleep.

I just disable the windows update service under "Services" and re-enable once every two weeks (and run the Windows Update GUI to click "search for updates" or what's it called) to keep everything up-to-date. Has wor

I started with zx-spectrum and was also very happy with whatever was there :) But baby steps towards moving pictures that are indistinguishable from reality.. Eh, I'm just very picky. Ever noticed that the top side of a moving window m

Yes, there is. I have side-by-side 60Hz and 120Hz monitors, and window dragging for example on the 120Hz one is much much smoother (I had to buy a gaming mouse, because most normal mice won't update at more than 100Hz I think). And mov

Replying to myself. Using mkfifo is not necessary: import os, sys, time, subprocess, fcntl sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0) read_fd, write_fd = os.pipe() fcntl.fcntl(read_fd, fcntl.F_SETFL, os.O_NONBLOCK

I'm using the mkfifo method on linux/macosx: import os import sys import time import subprocess # turn off stdout buffering. otherwise we won't see things like wget progress-bars that update without newlines. sys.
