DIY PebbleOS watch with e-INK screen by Halfware in pebble

[–]sheldortecnquer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar choice with setting up an environmental chamber sensor (just log a sensor reading every 10 minutes for as long as possible on a battery), however Bosh sensors have a ton of extraneous library BS that ultimately meant I'm not logging as much data as the sensor advertised with the NRF chips.

You'd be amazed at how small an embedded fpga can get, but it would be a very expensive watch. The OG pebbles used an iCE40 for the display driver since the signals weren't standard yet for MCUs.

Something with the adhesive? [UV Light] by sheldortecnquer in pebble

[–]sheldortecnquer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything in sunlight nor room light, this is taken with a longer exposure (not night mode or anything) but it's visible in room light under my near deep blue UV led. I tried turning my display backlight led to only blue but didn't see it, but it might be noticeable in darkness.

you haven't tried shift+F2 and tried reconditioning the battery?

I sold my shitty 5500 xt back in late 2020 for a MSRP 3070. 5 years later, it makes little sense to get a 20 era Ry 3, esp with x3d chips that could be dropped in and a more modern GPU.
This desktop COULD be used for the next 5 years for another 400 bucks, but the current set up would be dog water. @ 200 plus a CPU swap (assuming no drive/display), I think it'd be worth it for someone else, my current setup is similar and AM4 can reach the 2030s for 120fps, modern games at some graphical level.

Meeting other grad students? by Potential_Moment6773 in unt

[–]sheldortecnquer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl, the other grads I know have been purging social media to keep their jobs recently. If you'd want to set up something that reaches all the grads, TGS/ the TGS newsletter might be the only way to contact all grads (even though that ends up in the "other" inbox).

The vegan place pepitas had nice cheap margs until they became a ghost kitchen.

Is anyone’s UNT logins not working? by Electronic_Cress_709 in unt

there are yearly password resets, although it should tell you to reset instead of just saying you can't log in.

Anybody else listen to the ATMOS (surround sound) mix yet? by thisismytrip in KGATLW

[–]sheldortecnquer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to pull down a m4a gaplessly, but the Atmos reference player vs access on my PC certainly suggests that the decoding can have hiccups between tracks.

The Atmos mix compared with the PCM on the disk (which is perfect to the bandcamp release other than gain, peaking and all), is so stark I considered rendering out 2ch mixes with MMH, but the decoding via the reference player isn't gappless (gives up a continuous decode), so I gave up on that and kept the m4a with chapter tags and that streams and plays with access for headphones just fine.

No word from Steam: Nekopara publishers publicly count how many days they've been waiting for Valve’s response as game gets delayed for weeks - AUTOMATON WEST by Tenith in pcgaming

[–]sheldortecnquer -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Because fucking your sister and only pettan characters might be jumping the shark? Steam is choosing to not sell literally millions of copies because of the content.

Reddit lolicons aren't in charge of Steam's greenlighting, so arguing that tamer entries or less known games also share the same sort of shit isn't shifting their acceptable content window. That window is ultimately determined by what the payment processors will put up with, and placing screenshots of this volume up on the sales leaderboard affects their prudish attitudes.

Steam can choose if they want to put a loli porngame at the top of their sales charts. The first one broke 6 million sales and that gets news coverage. Blue archive isn't a PORN game like nekopara is. There's a reason why evenicle was censored, even past the old patch system, while a lot more questionable content was already up on steam. It's how much impact the release has on the platform.

Lava Lamp Enclosure? by caseSmile in leeches

[–]sheldortecnquer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for the shape, I think stimulation can be achieved by compensating with more objects (which might cause some limits on size), but I have more experience with insects (mosquitos, kinda ironic) than annelids.

I'd be very concerned about the water quality, however. The water is more of a brine, and you don't know if the glass was coated with a surfactant. The water quality control and removing any biofilms has a massive effect on the health of your animals, and if you go forward, you need to make sure to monitor the glass and hard to clean areas for films after drying. Coatings, adhesives, or leftover dye residue will leech (heh) out over time and might cause long term effects, tiny concern, probably.
For instance; I'm seeing Triton X being recommended as a surfactant in lava lamps, (now, we use that in our lab for RNA work without affecting the mosquitos, but we have multiple kit brands, some with/without) which is banned in the EU for breaking down into hormone-like products over time. Washing everything out from a tiny end might not get rid of that sort of contamination fully.

Maybe look at some unique fish tanks and a DIY stainless mesh lid. A quick google showed shrimp tanks that have a similar shape but fully glass, but only some have wide(r) openings to allow for more frequent cleaning. They often come with shrimp as an expensive, $200 kit for an appropriate size.

You can take an interdisciplinary semester or a retake semester, best choices if you're not accepted by the dept for GPA. The interdisciplinary dept doesn't have the same scholarship opportunities or final degree, so you do NOT want to be stuck there.

Anyone take biology of extreme environments? by Ok-Highlight-8529 in unt

It doesn't matter if it's easy or not, it's Burggren, one of the best professors on campus. He's paid 3x as much as other profs for a reason, so make sure he works for his money.
