They needed a test harness for lunar/mars landers!

I think they needed a test for lunar/mars Landers.

Bonus: use cars!

I'm surprised a real max headroom hasn't instantiated!
Re:The OLED Burn-In Test: 30-Month Update on Thursday October 08, 2026 @10:55PM (#50015436)
Yeah i had to turn my brightness up to 1000 to barely see the vertical line of burn in.

I'll never again worry about OLED burn in!

Can it run on any of the cheap uC / esp / stm ?
Any way to finagle a LORA type system (ultra reliable using precise timing) using a few of these on each end?

Could you just hook new motor controllers to the motors / puncher and add an Arduino to control it?

They do "reflect top to bottom".

Hold a written word in front of your eyes to read it.

Now flip it to the mirror to read the reflection:

Did you flip it horizontally? Then it reflected left-to-right.

Did you flip it vertically? Then it reflected top-to-bottom.

The older pics were smaller in MBs too!
I think picture quality on my droidX is better than the smoothed out filtering on current cameras since 2018 or so.

The old ones did compression but nothing like this awful mess current cameras do.

I looked at pictures from droidX era and was amazed how clear zoomed-in faces were.

Now those older cams needed better light but that is a different issue.

Can i add software for people to download?

It seems dropbox is the only free solution but they make it look like you need to register to download (Dark pattern?).

It's almost like gravityof all the players' mass slows time! Ie general relativity

"Density is greatest at 39F, not 32F"

But density at "greatest" would mean volume shrinking...right?

I don't understand the article's logic.

Maybe everyone should compress the 1st 100MB worth of digits of pi, for an apples-to-apples comparison?

Edit: oh wait that's too easy. Need to generate /publish random digits so everyone can use it.

It's much simpler than anyone thought:

My DroidX from 2010 took better pics than most modern phones. Zooming in on those photos look better! Crazy

Hmm i found 7 wonders and dominion to flatten out in strategy quite fast.

Dominion requires to monitor cards that while helpful initially,can burden your hand in the end.

I did this for a science project in 1986 on an Apple ][c computer !
Same goes for fusion 360 when you just want to do CNC. Use "GatorCAM for cnc". $30 with future upgrades included.

Re:10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips on Thursday March 05, 2026 @06:30PM (#47268705)
Maybe if Firefox tabs weren't such a memory hog it would be only 0.005% !
Yeah how? A solution means EVERYONE gets sucked into vr world.

Surely a small percentage, at least, would go on to colonize.

When i worked on image pipeline the images were circular and had to be warped to square. Also the edges of the circular image were darker than the middle, and needed to be brightened.

CPU affinity? I haven't been able to change priority in task manager since window 8 i think. Cpu affinity seems only to allow which cores get assigned...not really good management.
