tired: barcode tattoo carefully aligned horizontally on your neck
inspired: laser scarred asset tag on whichever patch of skin was sufficiently large in the marking machine's field of view first

@azzie > still be attached

thinking the consequences through, i see :D

@azzie efficiency is important!!

18+ whitequark OP , vor 23 Tagen

@azzie if i did it (only considering tattoos in theory for [uninteresting personal reasons]) i would go for a DataMatrix code

there's good reasons engineering samples are marked with those and not like UPC

18+ whitequark OP , vor 23 Tagen

@azzie but that's the thing, you can increase the ECC factor so there's more redundancy built into it! also if you have any idea on the aging patterns that could be simulated beforehand and the right ECC settings chosen :3

@azzie a datamatrix code in particular can survive up to ~30% loss, and doesn't even require the dots to be square. they can be circles, this is done fairly frequently on equipment where it's annoying to do squares, like if you're making tiny dents with a needle

@azzie like

18+ whitequark OP , vor 23 Tagen

@azzie all it needs is Contrast

it absolutely does not care if it's ink, dents, dots, squares, as long as your camera picks it up it will decode

Amaranth 0.5.0 has been released! Read the changelog to see what's new (a lot! we've accepted and implemented nineteen RFCs) or jump directly into the playground

Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

@foone the different kind of "barrel processor"

by the way if you implement a buttplug.io integration for the Glasgow Interface Explorer i don't mind having it upstream

whitequark OP , vor einem Monat

@foone probably just pwm to whatever protocol it is

maybe multichannel

16 channel buttplug sounds interesting

we need metacomputers.

one of the big features of computers and how they improved productivity was how they let us automate a lot of things that we had to do by hand before.

well, most of the things I have to do by hand these days involve badly designed software.

@foone metaconstructs making metacomputers

yeah this checks out

I should be able to charge my phone over PoE from my laptop. I don't know why it would have this feature, but it should

@massa @foone spec here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120414204800/http://www.usb.org/developers/expresscard/EC_specifications/ExpressCard_2_0_FINAL.pdf

why on earth it is on usb.org i have no idea

@foone this is why glasgow has 5V available :3

@foone @massa terrifying

the spec even says PCMCIA
