@foone the what now? Is that Mini DisplayPort or something even sillier?

@foone i'm one of those weird aliexpress magnetic usb adapter/cable combos.

@foone @polpo that is a very good question... even if there's some delay inherent in it, you can calibrate that out

@polpo Immediately, I started thinking of what camera API calls may be available to help with that process, and how you could find the best possible vsync timing via automatic detection of the black hum bar of doom.

If this were an ideal world you'd have a way to get the camera genlocked to the video source, but since there's no blackburst input on a smartphone....

@foone I used to make silly MegaHAL bots basically jump in a ring and battle each other, absolutely trashing their training as they go

@foone terrible. Ridiculous. When do we start working on the prototype?

@foone I basically created a meme around my workplace since like four of us are doing 3d printing and we're always messing with.......

The Nozzle.

@foone YES. that's what I keep getting stuck in

@gooba42 if you haven't seen said story, here it is, it's glorious.

@foone

@gooba42 panic("Splunge!"); was more useful than some other error messages I've run into.

Earlier today I had something that kept spitting "Access violation" over and over like a fountain. No details, not even any description of what function was throwing it.

On an unrelated note I want a big heavy leather collar that actually does serve as a grounding strap as suggested in that old story
@foone

@foone ugh I would love to invite people to instead become keyboard builders! Leave the vintage hardware alone and instead score a custom keyboard that is exactly what you want it to be.

I want to build a nice split mechanical that looks like the neon shimmering on a rainy night. :3
@twylo

@foone I'd go up an order of magnitude at least, you wouldn't need it that big for 3k. The little TV repair sized hv probes you probably saw around in various places are made for like 30

@foone hmm. There are days I wish I could just Wobbuffet. Not a human care in the world, just silly blue critter

What happens if a Pokemon kicks back the ball at a trainer? Can they wind up stuck in one of their own pokeballs?

@foone I love it!!

@foone you have me tempted to merge graffiti art techniques into freehand PCB pieces, develop, then sneak in circuitry!

@foone strange bubbling potion!!!

@foone I love your descriptions here so much

@foone that sounds like every one of those sitcom home security systems that eventually tries to kill the family in the basement

@foone systemd+chromium
