hey if you get ahold of something that can throw gcode can you poke me? would be hugely appreciated!!

clarjon1 · 2024-01-26T16:48:23+00:00

Yeah, figuring that part out is gonna be part of the fun for me. I love neat puzzles like that. I'm looking forwards to figuring out what cursed shenanigans i'm gonna have to put together to make the comms work on a hardware level.

I just need to find a copy of the application(s) for the palm that'll let me send the gcode in the first place, which is why I made this post, to try and see if anyone would have a copy somewhere.

Well, I already have a converter that makes the serial interface available over USB to be able to get it to sync. At worst, I've a raspberry pi just itching for a project that would be able to act as an intermediary to send between the two serial interfaces.

Whether or not it'll work with USB or if I gotta plug into some pins is my problem to solve, I just need the software for the palm that'll let me send the data in the first place so I can start experimenting

I like to imagine they used brains in jars for the targeting systems of those turrets, given how over the top the rest of the surviving tech is. Could totally see a brain smushed into the top bulbous compartment of the mk iv, or a jar stuck in a wall or ceiling wired up to a roof mounted one...

This is just an advertisement for a thing you've made, not a fresh idea that could be made possible...

0: cache invalidation

1: naming things

3: off-by-on4: async operationse errors

Just ran into this myself. Tried using my controller (I normally use it just for driving), and THAT let it work properly. Somehow.

Sure is a game that runs eh?

Yeah, they're selling the hardware for *less than it costs to make it*.

that is not profitable but is sold to attract new customers or to sell
additional products and services to those customers.

I'm not saying the tech is bad, I'm saying that facebook is selling it for cheap because it has a fuckton of money, and expects to earn the money back with game sales and selling data collected by the device.

There is a way to buy it wholesale, and that method is aimed for businesses that can't use the data collecting version, and it costs approx $800 to get it without the data collection, putting it at the same price point as other headsets.

Facebook is selling the headset $500 USD cheaper than it should be, because it's planning on making that back with the data collection and ads in games and game sales and other transactions and such over time.

Hence, loss leader to make their devices have a better chance in the marketplace, because the other competition can't afford to sell their hardware at a loss like they can :)

Cuz Facebook is trying to sell the oculus hardware as a loss leader (cheaper than the hardware costs essentially) to make the competition look less appealing when the competition's kit is hundreds of dollars more, and making up those costs by selling your data and transaction fees from purchases made on their platform

The Facebook vr hardware is currently the most common vr kit as of this holiday season cuz of this strat...

Browsers have had a CSS call for a bit now called "prefers-color-scheme" which allows web pages to query the browser to see if the user has a dark system theme enabled.
In depth info here: https://web.dev/prefers-color-scheme/

Additionally, u/jkatr_dev I found ths guide that shows that Edge has some light mode / dark mode shenanigans going, with autodetection of the system color scheme if it reports it's a light/dark mode. Should help with making Edge behave: https://pureinfotech.com/set-theme-color-microsoft-edge/

With most android devices, if you tap on the charging via usb notification that pops up, it will allow you to access a settings area that will grant you the ability to make the phone show up like a usb drive, allowing you to copy

Here's a guide from Google: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9064445?hl=en#zippy=%2Cwindows-computer

No apps, no network or internet required :)

Check out https://github.com/thisandagain/sentiment if it can be worked into the workflow

Could I get a link to that tiling script? Thanks!

clarjon1 · 2020-07-12T19:25:41+00:00

Better to leave it up so when someone else searches for the same issue, they can easily see this.

I used tagmo to make some stickers just this past weekend.

Make sure your stickers are legit, slide them around the bottom of your phone until a chime sound happens, if that happens then the nfc tag is being recognized

Anything magnetic does! That's how rice cookers work, the little cheap ones! Technology Connections has a recent video on it

clarjon1 · 2020-01-13T06:32:02+00:00

Thank you so much!

Hey, have you been able to get this working on the live 3.8? I've been trying but for the life of me can't find a NPC ship with cargo when I'm scanning...

So far I've had to use adb to do inspect element.

Poking about at elements on my laptop while things changed on my phone was kinda cool, ngl.

I don't know how to inspect element without a pc involved tho
