@masukomi@foone oh i see, you mean the joystick or trqckpad in the announced one which isnt available yet?
hm, twiddler is kinda the only device in that direction i am aware of and yes they exist since forever, but overall, aa you mention, you wont be fast using it.
the devixe i work towards is a regular, but split and wearable keyboard, so no reason to not be as fast as with a regular keyboard imho 🙂
@serapath yours is cool, and an interesting alternate solution to the problem. For clarity though i meant since like literally the first version of Twiddler something like 20+ years ago there has been a way to mouse.
@foone You may be underestimating how weird the diesel part is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBART extends an existing BART line with 9.1 miles of track, using diesel trains and standard gauge track. It has just a transfer station and two new stations. This was not existing track or anything, it was built specifically to extend an existing line, because it's apparently cheaper than electrifying a 9 mile extension?
Want to go from "Pitsburg / Bay Point" to "Pitsburg Center"? One stop, but change train.
So I've got a VCR that I can control over serial. If I got a second one, I could stick tapes into them and cross-wire them so that each plays into the other.
I could then set up a program to record from tape 1 onto tape 2, then back from tape 2 to tape 1.
Attach a capture device and I can get video files of each generation.
Then we just watch the generational loss compound.
A car stopped in front of a green light and blocked me from continuing, as it was trying to pick up some riders and had completely failed to get out of the lane.
I would have blown my horn at the driver to get them to get the fuck out of the road, but there wasn't one. The car was driverless.
I just tried to order a pizza and it wanted my credit card expiration date, so I entered "05/28" (example date only)
it then came back with a "your card is expired" error. Uh, no it isn't? that date is still several years in the future.
did... did this site just take my date and assume I mean May of the year AD 28? That is indeed very expired! that's what I get for trying to use Jesus's card.
@aburka@foone I honestly expected, for many years, that a lot of stuff would break in 2020 since so many things were Y2K-fixed with a 20-year delta. But it turns out that was the least of our problems that year!
