Apparently some #bmw #vehicles will be #manufactured without #touchscreens because of the #chip #shortage https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/5/22765.. I say: "good"! #displays in #cars are nothing more than a #distraction - especially as half of them come pre-loaded with some old #android ( #security #risk ) with crap #apps like #facebook and #twitter ...
An insight into what an #engineering #manager gets up to - mostly #meetings https://parkjoon.medium.com/what-does-my.. As people in some other #comments pointed out, the best way to increase #productivity is to get out of #meetings ! I remember I used to have two #displays at my old #engineering #job and would just be #programming during these #video #calls to #india and the like. They were mostly an utter waste of my time.
Very cool #weather #station using an #espressif #esp 8266: https://hackaday.com/2021/08/23/nothing-.. In the future I want to build out a tonne of these little connected #iot devices with #displays - I imagine it could be an awesome way to get #notifications around your house for example, or control some global properties. They also offer a fair amount of #computation and could be even smarter given a chance to do some #distributed #computation !
Insanely cool project driving 6 #vga #displays from a single #esp 32 ! https://hackaday.com/2021/08/18/running-.. It appears to use a #dma #buffer meaning that the main core(s) are left entirely free for other #computation !
Great to see new ideas on the #mouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubWj6MYP.. I really think the humble #computermouse is a place where #innovation is being begged for. Things I want to see are #displays , #gyro / #imu , removable #usb , #internal #sbc , #pressure #sensitivity , adjustable #weights - and much more. Add to this an #opensource model, then I think this could be a winner!
I've always wanted to #recycle old #laptop #displays - they are usually really nice quality and in good working condition even if the laptop is dead: https://hackaday.com/2021/06/11/recyclin.. The other thing is that you can usually pick them up for nothing, as the laptop is considered dead and worthless.
