I noticed that this doesn’t work on iOS 14 due to new/unsupported JS (just shows a blank page), would this be possible to workaround/fix? I quite like the idea, and would love to switch to it as my way to consume podcasts.

I’ve been wondering about the effectiveness of something similar as an anti-ALPR measure. Most ALPRs seem to have infrared, but I wonder if this the presence of this would affect the non-IR cameras in regular light? I’m not quite certain ho

Well, if you’d ever be interested in lightening your collection by one for a fellow enthusiast, I’ve always wanted to get my hands on an SGI to restore/rebuild. I’m currently working on an IBM 5150+5153, but the workshop always has spa

No, you can. In regular Firefox (without doing any shenanigans) the extension will be installed for the session (until the browser is closed), but Firefox Developer Edition lets you just install and run unsigned/invalid extensions (whi

Heh. Many years and a few laptops ago, I had an MSI which, on several different flights, as soon as I plugged the charger into the laptop knocked out the power for my entire row and the row in front or behind me. Though, one notable time it

Discord is shipped in a number of package managers (I don’t know the status for mainline apt repos). I know that this isn’t an easy solution/doesn’t go against your argument, because it isn’t download-and-run simple, but discord’s vers

What programmable EDID emulator plug do you use? I was recently looking into them, and it wasn’t clear what devices had what features, or if any (cheaper) ones were any good.

There’s several going for roughly 30,000-40,000 yen (before shipping) on [buyee.jp]( https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/Sharp%20X68000 ) currently. I’m considering picking one up myself, though I’m quite sure I

From a quick read, this appears to be referring to the same process as was used by NileRed in their video about making bulletproof wood ( https://youtu.be/CglNRNrMFGM ). It should be interesting to tool around with when it hi

I had a glossy screen for a few years, but recently switched to the matte. I’m quite liking it, it certainly lets me work in more environments without blinding glare. It’s nice and sharp, no major complaints. (One minor nitpick though: unli

I think it’s worthwhile to point out that the HN and SO OPs appear to be the same person, and that both accounts are not only old, but also have a fairly high status (fake internet points wise). It is not clear who they represent, if any co

My worry about this is on the repair and re-use side. How are we going to be able to pair+initial sync, restore firmware, or get logs over usb/serial from a irregularly functioning device?

It’s definitely hard(er). I’ve found it’s impossible to get any diagrams or (repair shop) manuals for some dirt-common 2000s/early 2010s vehicles, and have been forced to play many a game of ‘trace the wire.’

I haven’t seen anyone else mention this tool yet, but I’ve found great accuracy and flexibility with [OCRmyPDF]( https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF ). It (usually) detects and fixes page rotation, and works quite well

Some of us do do this stuff with iPhones, and it’s do-able, sort of - TrollStore (available up to iOS 17.0 currently) + NewTerm/bootstrap gives you a native CLI, add Filza in there and you can do almost whatever you need (with some man

Would you be willing to publish the iOS OCR server you made? It would be greatly useful in some of my products, as as you’ve noted other options have either low-quality results (tesseract, some cloud-based solutions) or are expensive in com
