I wanted it and couldn't find one. My parents wanted one, too, and they are not into technology like I am.

That's why I said that it can do it, not that it does do it. The point is that the "just don't connect it to the internet" response is neither sufficient nor correct.

If a TV has built-in wi-fi, it can scan for open networks and connect automatically as a failsafe. It doesn't have to tell you that it's doing it, either.

I've ordered from JLBPCB before (designed an under-cabinet lighting system for my kitchen complete with PIR sensors and professional-looking installation... it was my first arduino project!) but I'm not too full of myself to admit

You are correct. I need submixes for each channel. And, I mis-counted my inputs, and will nix an output, but that still leaves me with a 16x16 mess. I've spent the weekend looking into this. I would love to build my own, but I'

Thank you for the reply! I'll look into the MOTU devices... I had not heard of them before! I was hoping to keep the cost at sub-$1k (although that is by no means a hard limit), but you are correct in that I already have the speakers

My problem is that I know enough to be dangerous, and not enough to do much practically. I keep fantasizing about going back and getting an EE degree or something, but after 15 years of taking university classes, I don't want to start

Very cool! I grew up and lived in the middle of nowhere, Texas, and didn't even know that there were other people in the world that loved tech and actually got to be "in the trenches" with it! I'm jealous! lol

How on Earth did I not know about this? It's a treasure trove of tech history! Computer Chronicles, Twit, Ben Heck, Computerphile, various conferences, and a myriad of things that I didn't even know existed. So much easier to fi

This. I wish I were a multi-millionaire so that I could hire programmers to help me build all of the things that I believe should exist in the world!

The rules are designed so that there will be absolutely no encumberance to them using your submission in any way that they want (if you win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place). From limiting datasets to stipulating the license to a requirement of pate

You are correct, and that was actually my first thought. If you win (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place), they have rights to your game and the right to make their own derivative works. And you have rights to make derivative works. But then I though

The flip side it that it may eliminate a lot of competition. I still won't be participating (for reasons that I give in another thread), but it's worth remembering that these types of technical difficulties can be a gold mine in

I would expect it from a private corporation. I would not expect it from a government agency. Usually, a government agency is more interested in getting people to create things. The motivation is that by offering a prize, they encourage p

I thought that this was a great idea, until I read a few of the rules: In short, you work for them, for free. You don't win unless you check all of the beaurocratic checkboxes. If you make something good, you might win $20k, $10k, or

I H-A-T-E going to WalMart. I have to go every once in a while, because that's the only place that I can find one particular item that I use frequently, and that's only if I forget to buy it online where it costs a bit more. I

I am sad to know that you were not actually born in space. lol

Cool. But please tell me that your childhood phone number wasn't 708-642-9XXX (censored in case it's real) because it just told me that "fact"... and we were chatting about trivia night!! lol It also told me that your m

I've been thinking about this lately. I would think that a fully automatable browser might be an accessibility need, and therefore the viable use whose free access may be protected via ADA regulation. Of course, you might need someone

Was just about to comment this myself. Thinking of helping, too, just don't know how to get started.

The only solution is to build stuff. Small, big, it doesn't matter, just do something . Soon it becomes a habit, and after a while, you have a nice portfolio of stuff. I can give you ideas, or even invite you to work on some of my p

This is a thorny subject. Copyrite is, by definition, the control of the rights to copy. It is not a mandate that copying must be done, but rather an acknowledgement of the right to control the copies. And that must also, then, include th

We do government contracts. Usually 8 figures. All waterfall (with JIRA and sprints, but it's still waterfall). Agile makes it really difficult to get paid by milestones, and unless you have enough cash to float the entire developm
