I bought a random HBVALINK branded splitter on Amazon last month for $29 that works perfectly for this purpose.

An HDMI splitter (i.e. an HDCP down converter/stripper) and a video capture dongle or card can be had for like $60, plus a computing running OBS. It’s not an elegant small box, but it’ll get the job done for lower resolution needs.

As opposed to just negligently allowing it from the outside? Netlify still looks terrible here.

How do you know when a Google result is bullshitting you, or if their pre-LLM AI summaries of results were bullshitting you?

HDPE and PET are the most common I’ve seen in the community, which probably accounts for the majority of beverage containers you’ve ever encountered.

Something like a PET milk jug is harder since you’d need to shred it and remelt a good portion of the jug into filament since the handle area would be hard to deal with, which is hard to do in a DIY manner. Same for reprocessing failed prin

I agree, the skill acquisition time and effort would keep out script kiddies and normal consumers, but there's a large number of people who do have these skills, especially on this site.

For the hacker minded electronics geek, you can build out the same utility of the Flipper for pennies on the dollar from components if you can solder and write a bit of software in C or even Micropython. SDR is a pretty big hobby. This move

You can change the display resolution to hide the notch on any Mac and it just makes the top bezel appear as tall as the notch is, which is about the same size as the pre-notch models. Same result, newer hardware options. I would have prefe

Nothing. HiddenBar will declutter your menu bar by hiding things but it doesn’t help with having so many menu bar items that they’re obscured by the notch like Bartender does.

Weirder still is that they did, they have an entire expanding control panel pane with redundant pop out controls for stuff that was previously in the menu bar, they just failed to universally integrate it with the system so that third parti
