family got a new samsung tv with a "remote" that has almost no buttons because you're meant to use a phone app instead. phone app is 80mb and tells me my browser (firefox nightly) is unsupported to log into the samsung account to control this tv that's already in our living room. hey @internetofshit

YOUR 2023 CALENDAR WRAPPED

You spent 31 DAYS in each of the months of August, March, July, January, October, and May. That’s a six way tie. Guess you’re the type who can’t be satisfied by just one month! 😎

Your longest day was NOVEMBER 5, a whopping 25 hours. Falling back like a champ! 🍂

This year was the 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 2013. Here’s to another 10 more! 🥳

You’ve had 51 MONDAYS so far this year. Yikes! We won’t tell Garfield if you won’t. 🐈

@alice ah yes

ISO C committee, a failed standard effort:

• dysfunctional, couldn't standardise a simple improvement if their lives depended on it
• arcane, incomprehensible specs that nobody reads
• all volunteers. literally nobody involved gets paid
• they have the gall to paywall it??

Khronos (Vulkan, OpenGL) and MIDI specs:

• long track record of pragmatism
• written by big companies that have hardware to ship and no patience for bullshit
• down-to-earth, sometimes refreshingly casual, easy-to-understand specs
• everyone involved has a real job
• free :)

@JennyFluff for all the catgirls :3

oh hey, it's doing that analog-buttons trick!
See, There's only 3 wires for eight buttons: voltage, ground, and "key".

Each button has a resistor inline, and the microcontroller on the other end measures the resistance of the keypad, and can figure out which key is pressed based on that.

We all know how this ends.

December 17! It's a Mavica!

Here is a later model that was lightly used back in the day. This platform-agnostic camera was revolutionary for its compatibility and ease of use. The optics weren't bad either! 📸

These are also very reasonably priced, and new batteries are affordable and available. Highly recommend!

This is your regular and very unwanted reminder that it's not "heli+copter", but "helico+pter", with "pter" being the same root word meaning "wing" as in pterodactyl.

You know I think animals might be onto something with the whole nuzzling thing

You ever rub your face into a pillow like super hard? Most satsifying thing ever

‪look upon the world with the eyes of a game developer and everything looks pretty because wow the real world is so good at diffuse reflections and lighting (for real though)‬
