I'm not using text-to-speech engines, I am bad at writing all by myself

  • Output corruption sometimes persists across all different modes of printing/exporting. Some lines in Word starting to go vertical for no reason is one I encountered a lot, the other is Excel insisting on making every cell it's own list, and it's usually fixable only by force rebuilding the file container by saving as another doc/docx type, pushing Word to make it from the scratch and drop traces of accumulated file corruption. Funny enough, some of these bugs can't be reproduced if opened in Libre, that made me prefer it, when applicable, a long time ago.

  • Jitsi is great as a Skype/Zoom replacement. It's not a 'room' on a server, but voice and video chats are stable and fast.

  • It's almost like they agressively promote a premium Windows subscription where this bullshit doesn't happen, but there is none.

  • And russia probably trying to register their dishes as ukrainian ones or setting up a shop to register and then import them. It's all messy, and may seem heavy-handed and/or short-sighted, but nevertheless free for all Starlink connection was an outlier in an otherwise tight air defence system. Just like having a workplace ban on social media BUT everyone having some braincells to install a VPN visiting them no problem.

    Idk how UAF communicates with Starlink and if they react fast, if they share enough information, but the latter has location data of each connected dish, so in the best probable condiditions there is an ability to shut down network services in real time.

  • Correction: I was mislead by my initial thoughts. Screw everything about connecting devices. You can upload everything you need on just one and let it scroll indefinitely as long as it has power. So a projector, a device, and two outlets to power these up.

  • Welcome! I'd be pleased if it'd enable you to do something sick ;)

  • I found that link to go over basics: https://www.heavym.net/choose-your-projector/

    What you want to research is called (outdoor) "projection mapping", you need a lot of lumens (4k+), keystone correction and a 720p-capable projector for bigger numbers would be an overkill for such task. Pixelation is not a thing with projected images like it is with PC monitors, so at worst it may become blurry, but still okay, especially from afar. Default font sizes in presentation-making software are what you are aiming at, no small fonts and tiny details if possible.

    Ideally, you'd also like to make it wirelessly controlled, so a small nettop box or an android phone with 4g/wifi and screen casting capabilities would make it possible. You'd usually only need an extension cord with two outlets for projector + image source device. You can test it at home before installation.

    For software, don't seek specialized projection software since it's too complex for the task and usually paid, proprietary, exclusive to Mac/Win. You can try MiraCast as a popular option, or Chrome Remote Destop with a burner account. I think OBS with plugins is you best friend, with NDI or other way to stream media. You'd probably need to make a virtual lan network for them to work, but that's the last thing to worry about - and doable, after you test it all working over one wifi at home.

    To break it into steps:

    1. Make a sample image you want to project
    2. Explore the area you want to put your hardware into, see if you can have a place to mount things and reach outlets via extension cords
    3. Make a two-device setup with a spare PC monitor before buying a projector to test different ways to cast images from your source device, picking one
    4. Measure by eye, if surface and angles, distances are right, choose the projector to fit them
    5. Buy a projector and do your thing

    P.S. If you want to do it without a secondary device, just by long cords, HDMI and DP can't do that and even if they can - it would be too expensive. You'd need SDI or RJ45 cables and converters from and to HDMI/DP (doubling as signal's power enchancers), as then you can transfer video signal over additional 50m+. But if you go into that territory, BEWARE for video tech is hillariously, mindblowingly picky about refresh rates, 1080p vs 1080i modes of coding signal and the weather on Mars at any particular time. I am a stupid man and skipped a lot of 101 courses alright but some of my setups using both pro tech or/and noname ripoffs needed a lot of trials and errors before making it produce any image at all. It is counterintuitive, but PC-PC screen casting over some network is usually more user-friendly and cheap than a field of pro video with decades of inventing gimmicks and inflating costs. It is less reliable, in theory, but it can can cover your needs right.

    P.P.S.: For transfering video between devices, also check OBS forums for game streaming setups. I've seen many people using primary PC for gaming, then forwarding that screen into another PC that does the streaming part. Probably, there you'd encounter the best solution for your case.

  • They've sat on it for a while before it became clear they can do it no problem.

  • There is some tool who just follows orders writing and posting for him most of this year at the very least. I'd love to see them doxed.

  • So quiet you hear mice ... Ah, yeah, fighting over food, right.

  • 1.99 prices > 2.00 prices

    Maybe I adapted to that with time, like .99 always felt like a scam pricing strategy, but for me everything involving number nine is worse than, say 1.20. Double nines are the worst. Flat prices with zeroes make me more confident and interested somehow.

  • Besides technical nuances, trademarking JavaScript, bribery and so on, the co-founder and past CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison, who was briefly the richest guy on Earth, is now involved with USA's Republican party e.g. on TikTok regional sale's deal and one of the persons making Oracle openly support israeli war efforts.

  • Imagine a catchy hip-hop beat pattern, but it gets repeated real fast. There is some song structure, then an overlay of a melody, sometimes vocals, but the center of it is a broken rhytm that gets your legs moving, kicking air, do a primitive tap dance to it. That's like exploring a tact-to-tact consistent EDM music, but with some Game+ twist.
