I don’t think invasive data collection via black boxes is the way to go. I’d say better driver education, speed traps, and better education for civil servants (such as traffic cops) might be a better solution.

Additional data about your driving behavior is also collected, completely unrelated to cameras. In fact, this data is the majority.

😂👌

This is nonsense. The documentation is readily available, and it takes arguably less time to provide the code to write a single, proper file than to create 50 desktop entries.

This is just ignorance on whoever wrote that part of Krita.

I’d probably set up some firewall rules / a VLAN to isolate the cameras. I generally don’t trust any company to do the reasonable thing, and apparently, these days, we live in a world where many companies are outright malicious.

You can trust them about this much:

… such as?

The latest Raspberry Pi cameras have decent sensors, variants with night vision are available. Axis makes reliable, network attached cameras.

Open-source software like Frigate or ZoneMinder exists.

Still, would you really want that? A half-baked device in your network, a device you suspect would constantly betray you, if given the chance?

I personally can’t imagine getting used to that. I’d despise the device (and myself probably).

I mean, Lua is a pretty “interesting” choice for that application, but don’t blame shitty coding practices and inexperienced coders on the language.

The gigantic loop could have been cleaned up with a table, registering handlers for the individual cases.

Lua is probably not the best choice for a web service, but it definitely has its applications.

Don’t spread any misinformation. The price for the theoretical part is 25€.

If you take the test 128 times, that comes out to 3200€, a number very similar to the one mentioned in the article.

The article does not talk about the total cost of obtaining a driver’s license.

The stylophone is probably not a very good choice if you actually want to make a musical track, it’s quite a bit limited.

Also, please don’t assume that hardware is simpler than plugins. A lot of hardware has plenty of menu diving or arcane shortcuts due to the limited hardware controls, tiny (or absent) screens etc. You should be looking at “one knob per function” devices.

If you just want to explore a bit and make tracks, get a groovebox l. If you are looking to dive into synthesis and a bit of sound design, look at the Arturia Microfreak.

A groovebox like the Circuit Tracks is a good recommendation.

I agree, but I’d also like to mention that it’s absolutely possible to get great mileage out of a “toy” synth, provided you already know what you’re doing.

I’m currently compiling a list of open-source audio streaming solutions and I think Sonobus is not on there yet, so this is a pretty useful comment to me. Thanks.

They are launched sequentially, but run simultaneously, yes - at least some of them. And they run concurrently but not in parallel - using a single execution context, there is only a single thread, so no parallelism exist.

The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.

Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.

I could see it if it was a screen I get to control, akin to a smart mirror. Fridge door would be a pretty good surface since I’m guaranteed to look at it a couple of times each day.

Other than that, push notifications if the door is open? That’s about the max when it comes to usefulness I can imagine. Is that a problem that requires a connected device? No, probably not.

However, depending on the model range, it becomes difficult to even get a model that doesn’t have the “smart” features. No one can force you to connect the device though (yet).

I watched the loopop review of the Orchid, and was immensely underwhelmed.

Okay, if this is going to be a whole project you probably want a commercial supplier. Based on your geo-preference, one recommendation would be Formulor:

https://www.formulor.de/material/mylar

You can upload your own SVGs for laser cutting and engraving, the whole process is rather automated. They offer templates for Inkscape or whatever the matching, closed-source Adobe product is (Illustrator maybe?)

I linked the mylar material since that would be my recommendation for stencils used for e. g. painting, spraying etc. Mylar hits an excellent balance between cost, handling and durability.

Formulor is probably not the cheapest supplier, but it’s reliable and instant with no customer support agents involved and requires no quotes and approvals being sent back and forth.
