I made it 467 characters before I realized that the characters-left countdown mean that I was accidentally typing my bdsm-pun star trek pastiche into my SFW mastodon. Whoops.

designing my next keyboard PCB is going well

EDIT: There's a typo in the alt text. It's supposed to read "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll design a keyboard.' Now they have two problems"

@foone maybe the workplace but it just occurred to me that I would spent good money on a free browser.

Incidentally because I pay for the current browser as well in one way or another.

Netscape Navigator wouldn't be even in the bottom half of my browser list.

oh sweet jesus. I found some raspi-based GPS/RFID devices at ewaste, right? and they had a mini-PCIe WLAN card, complete with SIM card in it.

The SIM card is still active.

Good find tho

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 I would like to see the CPU Gatling just for shits and giggles

I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:

I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.

ppxl , vor 26 Tagen

@foone with the need for special paper needs, ever thought about querying papermills/printahops directly?

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?

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.
