Also the required diacritics use the number row on Czech keyboards so you need a numpad or type numbers with Shift.

Even after they stopped producing phones, they could have made a killing licensing the patent to phone case manufacturers.

The article is absolute trash for not mentioning this. “Their iconic keyboards…” is the closest it gets to describing them.

Thankfully, there is a link to the patent at the end.

Abstract

A keyboard comprising a plurality of transparent keys. In use, the keyboard is attached to a device such as a mobile device, to overlie a display screen of the device. One or more images displayed on the display screen are made visible to a user through the keys, which may be pressed by a user. User input is determined by identifying a pressed key, and the image or part thereof visible through the key when pressed.

Basically a detachable keyboard of transparent material as a display overlay, providing tactile feedback while the LCD allows for backlit and customizable key labels. I don’t remember seeing a practical implementation of this IRL or in media but I might be too young for that.

Not free as in FOSS because it’s limited to non-commercial projects, but they’re Valve. Devs will probably be able to strike deals if their monetization schemes aren’t exploitative.

This is a retro gaming community, what do you expect?

Anyway, logic level shifters are cheap and the NES is very well documented. The hardware supplier should have done their homework.

(Seems like the voltage is being reduced from 5V to 3.3V to power the cartridge chip but there is no level shifting on the data lines, causing excessive current to be supplied from the NES chips’ data pins. It us sunk into protection diodes in the cartridge’s chip as they are trying to pull the voltage to a little over 3.3 volts, raising its supply voltage. The NES works on a relatively low clock speed so maybe the issue can be mitigated by simply adding a resistor network to limit the current but at this point, a proper level shifter costs way less than the rework labor.)

My class was on holiday in Romania to this village near Decebalus’ Danube Gorge in Banat and classmates, mostly from a city, were impressed by my woodcutting skills. I can chop the easiest blocks at this pace but only briefly… At best I could do about half that in 8 hours, while sweating like crazy and drinking 6 liters of water. I’d also catch a cold and need a week to recover. Also, I’d leave an assortment of gnarly blocks and chopped pieces on the ground, no way I’m loading even half of that the same day.

I thought that the subscription money was what would keep them afloat for longer

I’m not an expert, how many Raspberry Pi 4s does this translate to?

Imitating a therapist is not too hard, look up Eliza. Was it good as an actual therapist? Haha, no.

Better than “Trigger warning: There is a gay character but thankfully he is a throwaway one so you can watch a cut that skips his scene!”

It’s a MIDI conversion of an audio recording on top of orchestra footage but still cool.

Numeric keypad pls

[AI] scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn’t stop to think if they could.

Post about a masked man with a knife in your town’s financial district. Make the police do extra work, they won’t investigate “ghosts”. Spam the wrong hotline.

They entered the public consciousness by running a massive marketing campaign “Nobody dictates us what we can write” around 2017 (prior to the acquisition), mocked as “Nobody writes us what we can dictate”. They are well known for being fringe but I don’t frequent the circles of their potential readers so I can’t tell you what they think.

Yup. In fact, it is just Arithmetic (24:43) set to ½.

“Hello, I have a bit of a problem with the printer I got from you… It’s that model that can print CD labels as well as laser tattoos. Specifically, I’d like to know what to do when a medium gets stuck. And yes, I know it’s all written in the manual.”

Man, I should really take the time and translate all of them. They’re basically budget XKCD.
