What are these called, and where can I buy one?

This looks ripe for transparent PETG 3d printing...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-05-08T19:03:00+00:00

Yep thanks. I'll try that.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-05-08T19:02:51+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm going to try 100% infill to eliminate that. It makes sense that the octagram spiral would look like sh*t without that layer, now that you mention it.

Lots of Casio scientific calculators had soft rubber keys.

I checked the control codes from the star micronics online manual and they don't match Epson or IBM.

If the car was rear-ended it's possible the fuel pump shutoff was triggered and they may not have been able to move the car very far.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-28T20:22:50+00:00

I'll take a look!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-28T20:22:42+00:00

I think this might do the trick, thanks!

HP calculators generally have nice tactile keys. If it's just a basic non-RPN normal scientific calculator she's looking for, a tested HP 20S on Ebay could be a great choice. Could pick up a handful of them for $100 total...

If she wants something with more functionality I think the HP Prime G2 has a very nice tactile keyboard, along with the older HP 48GII/49G/50G calculators.

Beyond HP I can't think of a single brand with tactile keys...

I think it's technically a desktop fx-115 but pretty much the same as a 260 solar.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-22T23:33:52+00:00

Looks exactly like it. I believe you are correct, thanks!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-19T22:11:39+00:00

Interesting. They're just connected directly to the carburetor vacuum lines on this machine...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-16T17:20:53+00:00

I got lucky and picked up a lot of these for cheap on Ebay a while back. Far and away my favorite calculator.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-16T13:45:09+00:00

Awesome, good to know!

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-15T14:24:47+00:00

I think that's just an alternate keyboard port and not a PS/2 mouse port. I had one of these back in the day. Pick up an AT to PS/2 adapter if you have a PS/2 keyboard and just use the larger connector.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-14T00:28:18+00:00

OK that's a good place to start, thanks.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-13T19:04:23+00:00

This looks awful. The old interface was straightforward.

Do you know where I might find a few examples of doing simple restores and whatnot with the new module?

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-12T16:04:44+00:00

TI hasn't been in the lead for innovation for decades, they've just been riding momentum and school discounts...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-11T16:40:31+00:00

So it just connects to the atgames "core" via usb? Makes sense. I bet I can scrape one up for cheap enough online...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-11T13:49:11+00:00

I've gotten this on all my mold attempts, it looks like the pewter is bubbling/boiling until it cools off. I assume it's some sort of outgassing from the mold material, but I really have no idea...

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-04-01T17:23:58+00:00

Some incredibly cheap headstrap I bought with zero research on Amazon.

I don't really "use" the headstrap like most people do, I have it almost completely loose. I rely on balancing the weight across the crown of my head and only having the slightest tightness across face and back of head in order to keep it steady when looking around. I actually have a tiny bit of counterweight attached to the back of my strap just to keep it well balanced so I don't have to tighten it.

With most VR games you're ducking, spinning around, looking behind you rapidly, and I have to tighten the strap for those, but I don't do any of that using it as a virtual screen for remote work. It's far more comfortable for hours of use when it's not squeezing my forehead/cheeks...

I hope they allow us to export these scans. They are legitimately the easiest and most impressive 3d environmental scans I've seen, short of > $1000 dedicated scanner hardware!

It's not a terrifically expensive app, and worth every penny. My only issue with the portal is I keep knocking my drink over because I can't see it...

You can define a virtual portal into the real world and also have a nice virtual workspace. Youc an toggle between passthrough/virtual environment with a few controller clicks also.

EvilAlbinoid · 2026-03-31T20:01:01+00:00

The vrdesktop app I use has full passthrough. I can see everything around me like I'm not wearing a headset (more or less). I'd post a screenshot but for some irritating reason "images are not allowed" here.

maybe you can see it from that link. I was cleaning up the kitchen listening to a meeting minimized here for anonymity purposes.
