What a treasure, I just remembered this was one of my first interaction with a commodore 64. Engineer friend of my father was trying (and succeeding) at triggering my 8yrs old curiosity. I was seriously impressed as he showed me the screen vs the sky. Looking at this with my adult eyes today, I am even more impressed at the render and tech behind that piece of software.
The telegraph shattered my spam-paywall-popup-ads everywhere-ragequit limit to a point where I genuinely wonder if they actually manage to convert traffic with such agressive tactics?
T2 is my all time favorite movie movie, I didn’t know the T800 from T1 overlay was 6502 assembly language. Just that extra “useless knowledge” alone was worth the article lol. thanks!
I don’t get Why the hate and easy one liners like this, when Tesla refunded the only gov lease they got with interests while all legacy are digging their deficit further, the rest is equal grounds for all manufacturer to compete.
American should be proud and supportive for any local company actually dedicated to quit fossil fuels or anything about not relying on another country.
Ftp upload, local storage and some that I dont mind being exposed are sending to telegram. Looking into frigate right now, guess that makes me a grandpa ;)
For those who are anti-cloud or want a 2-tier system for any good reasons, Been using this with several wyzecam V2 cameras for 2 years with no issues other than the cameras not being low light sensitive like the V3, otherwise the setup is pretty solid and fast.
Still got mine here in a box with my SB live 5.1. That thing was a blast to mess around with as a kid, but not really practical for anything semi-pro compared to just pluging a midi keyboard due to the limited number of keys. Had a Yamaha PSS (451?) which was a tad better but the key size being smaller than a regular piano was also an issue. Couldn’t get rid of that keyboard tho, its epic :)
Looked at it a few years ago, the gate stuff was meh, bought a good old projector off ebay, added a 95 CRI led instead of the bulb and replaced the motor with a stepper to accurately control film advance and used a modified canon with magic lantern firmware to do the capture with silent shutter to not kill the camera or use beyond video resolution (which is overkill, i know, but I wanted both hdr and wdr so multi shots). Fun little project if you have the image processing knowledge. Else, the lazy best bang for the buck deal is getting a wolverine film digitizer, too bad the firmware isn’t open tho.
Had the same feeling after toying with google earth for 30 mins in VR, jumping cities and what not, after that time, I began to zoom out, out and out... looked around, and its really hard to put in words, but WS puts it extremely well.
War and all the idiocy down here are so..... when you realize how lucky we are and how fragile all of this really is...
Hopefully with the event of space tourism this will be a common theme and the experience will serve to educate and raise the bar for humanity.
Finally managed to get 3 PiStorm boards (for a more decent price than the scams off ebay), but I have only one Pi 3B, and the 3A+ or Zero 2 are nowhere to be found
Only option is to buy 3B/B+ which are a little more common, at 3x+ the price, and unsolder the usb connector.
Sure feels like back in the amiga days when I was waiting for the Emplant to emulate a PC and whatnot... or waiting for Gateway, Escom, etc... to do something useful...
Come to think of it, it's a perfect retro experience WITH post-1994 frustrations of waiting with constant hopes and failures as a bonus :)
