I don't know what the modern commands look like, but I hope that at least they abolished the in-band signalling so you don't have to do <wait 1 second> +++ <wait 1 second> .

Fair enough. I'm open to data on that.

That's explained at length about a dozen paragraphs into the article.

That, uh, seems unnecessarily violent and vindictive.

I've replaced the battery at least once in all the phones I've had, and two other parts in my last phone. On the other hand, none of my phones has ever been stolen. And it's not just me, my neighbourhood has several repair sh

I'm not sure what you were reading, but the fine article is centred around using qpdf.

After you've finished editing, just run it through qpdf without parameters, as explained in the beginning of the article, and it will recompress the data and recreate the xref table. No need for yet another tool.

That's why they decode it with qpdf and re-encode it again afterwards, so qpdf takes care of that. qpdf reconstructs the original PDF structure, and I think it even tries to keep the object numbers the same, but the offsets are recalcu

I suppose with WASM you can just write an infinite loop?

More importantly, seeing the other comments, it uses those and a keyboard.

...okay, that is less automatic than I was led to expect. I mean, it's still cool, I guess.

Okay, now you have the frames as glyphs in the font, but how are they going to animate? The most interesting part of the explanation is missing.

They give a timeline of a few weeks, so presumably we'll see soon enough.
