You know your keyboard project is doing well when you only realize you left out the spacebar when you go to film a video on it

@foone ahh, just like the pre-model M boards with the missing windows key.

Someone really needs to develop a lightweight VM container that we can stuff software in. Like, you know how you can buy DOS games on steam, and it just gives you dosbox preconfigured to play the game?

That, but for all software on all OSes

@foone If you don't care too much about it being virtualized, you're basically describing libretro (the thing retroarch is based on)

Were it not for nvidia drivers despising VMs, we'd have this already.

The problem with being a weird geek like me is that I've seen the coolest thing I've seen in years and it's a DIY pie launcher

@foone How did you even find this in the first place? If you don't mind me asking.

I just was thinking that my mouse wasn't tracking very well and automatically flipped it over so I could try cleaning the ball.

it's 2024, of course it doesn't have a ball, this is an optical mouse!

but apparently my computer reflexes are stuck in 1996

@foone tracking is stored in the ball(s).

I found an amazon listing that is for an "HD DVD player"

by which they mean a DVD player that supports HD output, because it's an upscaler.

YALL KNOW HD-DVD IS A DIFFERENT THING, RIGHT?

@foone Eventually, you're gonna find a hd-dvd player that doesn't have any hd outputs on it to complete the set.

I wonder how illegal it would be if you opened up a VHS rental store today, and had unofficial VHS copies of modern films, dubbed from either Netflix or uhd 4k blurays

griibor ,
@griibor@mas.to avatar

@foone Think you could fit a tape head inside of a VHS to write onto an endless-loop in close to real time?

Like one of those compact cassette to 3.5mm adapters.

griibor ,
@griibor@mas.to avatar

@foone I was thinking.

I assume the head's too big to put in the cassette at the right angle, even ignoring how you'd power the thing.

As someone who spends a surprising amount of time at ewaste/junk shops:

non-bluetooth wireless keyboards should be banned for environmental reasons.

@foone Nobody's revengineered something out of arduinos good enough to get clones sold on aliexpress yet?

I have to assume all of the missing-dongle RF boards have crappy breakable encryption.

I was copying a Totally Legal Game Backup onto my roommate's switch and it confused Windows so much that it told me I had the wrong floppy diskette in the drive.

griibor ,
@griibor@mas.to avatar

@foone Also, windows hates the emunand partition that you probably created.

I've had to re-hack switches from scratch too many damn times.

With all the different microcontroller platforms out there, it's sometimes annoying because there's a solution that does exactly what you want but it's targeting some weird architecture that isn't what you use, or has suddenly become hard to find.

I think it's about time we organize all our open source microcontroller-based firmware around a simple, widely available, and powerful architecture, for consistency and interoperability.

The Intel 80486.

@foone Didn't intel cpus of that era want 5+ different voltages, some of them negative?

I thought that was like zilog's second most appealing feature.

FUN FACT:
if you build electronic devices which contain a raspberry pi in them, consider what will happen if one of them gets thrown out.
someone might open them up, stick the microSD card in them into a reader, and open up that tantalizing "apps.json" file which has YOUR GOD DAMN AWS KEYS? IN UNENCRYPTED PLAIN TEXT?

@foone damn, where do you keep finding this cool e-junk?

when is GCC gonna have support for shock collars?
it might help to shock the programmer whenever the compile fails

griibor ,

@foone Shock on error, vibration on warning.

The real reason HD-DVD failed is because it used Javascript for interactivity

This is a good and normal website

@griibor@mas.to avatar

@foone You would get a warning any time you used the back, forward or reload button though.

Not gloating though, I once made a shitpost website with actual stripe integration without properly knowing how postbacks worked, or enough math to make an "add payment fees to total" checkbox work.
