Kind of off topic: Judging by the title it's another one of these write-ups on how AAPL is the worst anti-competititve monopoly that is using its position to do bad things. Thankfully it's something completely unrelated.
- uxp100 6y agoUnless you're familiar with Bad Apple, that is. Sort of a meme, not exactly sure why, I guess the visuals, as far as the song goes I think it's one of the lesser Touhou tracks.
- q3k 6y agoAt some point the video became the standard thing to show on weird displays. We mostly have Marcan to thank for that [1], I think. Kind of like porting Doom to prove that you have code execution on something that you never were meant to have code execution in the first place, but instead to prove you can display full motion video on something that was never meant to display full motion video.

- echelon 6y agoI remember seeing OpenLase after I developed a bunch of laser projector games [1] [2]. I wish I had known about it back then. Python was a huge bottleneck, and I had to come up with workarounds for the GIL and other problems.

- codetrotter 6y agoThat’s very cool and inspirational! I’ve been wanting to do laser projection too. Was your laser projector home built or bought online? If home built, do you have some links describing how to do it? If bought online, do you have a link to where you ordered it from?
- plorkyeran 6y agoThe fact that the video uses exactly two colors and isn't even greyscale is probably a big part of it.
- jabroni_salad 6y agoThat is a feature of the content rather than the technology. The original video was a silhouette piece in black & white: https://youtu.be/G3C-VevI36s https://youtu.be/G3C-VevI36s That's also why it has so much presence in the demo scene. It loses very little fidelity when transcribed to different mediums, be it teletext, ascii [1], flip dots [2], or an oscilloscope [3].

- leoc 6y agoI assume it's also because it's ridiculously compressible compared to more normal video of similar resolution?
- Hamuko 6y ago>as far as the song goes I think it's one of the lesser Touhou tracks. There's basically a billion of Touhou tracks at this point and Bad Apple is the lesser of those?
- Lammy 6y agoAs somebody who has mistaken AAPL Arguments for Touhou Talk in the past I'm glad we can balance each other out :)
