what are some human cybernetics types of technology you use to augment your powers
ill start with a strong example

everyday i use anki to help remember things, because of how memory works using space repetition is the most efficient way ever to remember things that you can put on a flashcard

its commonly used by medical students that need to remember lots of random symptoms and words and anatomy for medical school, but its also used for learning kanki, or vocabulary. I have a 'jeopardy' style deck with 10,000 trivia questions in, a professional development deck, decks for my school classes, decks for famous art pieces, and famous buildings

i have lots more technologies to talk about not just anki

What kind of speaker setup do you have for your computer/room/whatever? I need a new set.
My old logitech set is about 20 years old now and I hate how bulky it is and sometimes the copper wires have an interference thing that makes a big thump randomly which freaks me out.
When doing the requisite "[thing] +reddit" google search to see what humans are saying, I heard people say that speakers are so good these days that you no longer need surround sound, which seems strange to me. I really like the idea of having music all around me, and the rare game or anime with surround sound is really cool with it (Delicious in Dungeon and the crappy Geass remake were the most recent things with surround I've watched). But, I guess if most people have left 5.1 behind then maybe I should, too. I absolutely hate bass so it'd be nice if I could get rid of the subwoofer since it's so big and bulky. I'm definitely not an audiophile so I have no interest in the gold-played anti-virus cables.
So how is your setup and how do you like it?

I guess you could talk about headphones if you want, but anything placed on my head gives me a headache so I'm not a fan.

Please don't sage when answering a question of mine! I only saw this by chance because I looked back into the thread to update my research.... which I don't have much to show for.

I don't know what an active dsp monitor is, but my hearing is pretty sensitive and I've never taken a TV or speaker above like 40% unless there were issues with the source, so I think that gets me some leeway.

After actually reading up on the speakers I do have, they're quite well regarded still today.

I paid $250 for them and apparently the stuff Logitech made afterward is worse. It looks like to buy it used online it would be $400 or something if you managed to find all the parts. Someone is selling the subwoofer itself for $100 on ebay.
It's weird that a computer part I bought back in 2005 has actually appreciated in value, or maybe it's just kept up with inflation. Either way, that's neat.

Probably depends on the build quality and wear and tear. Audio wires are prone to decline if they bend and twist a lot. My old pair (from like 12 years ago) sat unused for years and I tried to use them again a while back and it was just horrendous because the wires were a mess.

If you open the .cue file in a text editor like Notepad, what do you see? Does it reference files that are missing? In that case you might want to try getting those missing files and putting them in the same directory or getting another pre-patched copy of the game. archive.org appears to have some. Or you could get a clean rip of the original Japanese disc and patch it yourself (https://www.romhacking.net/translations/846/).
If it's the emulator that's the problem, https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/PC_Engine_(TurboGrafx-16)_emulators recommends Mednafen, ares, or Mesen.
In the past I think I was able to get a .bin+.cue rip of the original Japanese disc working by using a Mednafen (beetle) libretro core. I didn't need to have it mounted as a disc on my PC like you appear to be trying to do. I think I was able to launch it by selecting the .cue file.

I was without computer for a couple days and had to subsist on "smart TV" youtube and it was awful. The ads pop up like every 15-20 minutes and they are LOUD. I can tolerate annoying ads, but I was pretty sure governments instituted rules about equalizing the volume of commercials? I remember this being a thing people complained about back in the 90s on cable. Maybe it doesn't apply to the internet?
All those relaxing "___ to sleep/study" whatever videos and then WEE WOO WEE WOO CLEARANCE SALE ON FURNITURE THAT HAS JUST GOT TO GO TODAY
Also it was an old TV when the "smart" stuff was just coming out so half the time the commercial (which somehow always rendered in 1080p despite the youtube video itself being like 240p to 480p) would crash the yotube "app".
I'm so glad to be on the computer again. Truly ignorance is bliss because that was a terrible way to experience things and yet it's the default for billions of people.

When I was baking a cake at my parent's house two years ago I tried out the YT-app on my then new phone while waiting. Did not have a functional version of the app on my old (then ten years old) phone since it hadn't gotten any updates for years.
The app apparently decided on it's own to use my parent's smart-TV, which was connected to the same wireless network, to play the video (after an annoying ad of course). Was surprised to hear it's sound blaring across the hall from the living room instead from my device. Good thing I chose a recording of a concert instead of VTubers.

>All those relaxing "___ to sleep/study" whatever videos and then WEE WOO WEE WOO CLEARANCE SALE ON FURNITURE THAT HAS JUST GOT TO GO TODAY
That was a 'normie-culture-shock' I won't forget; was drifting into sleep once when HEY YOU CONSUME PRODUCT LALALAAA happened. Had not taken measures for adblocking on my phone before then because I rarely used my old phone for anything other than messaging and phone calls.
Since then I'm using a browser with adblock and the 'YouTube Background Playback'-script when watching YT-content on my phone.

I wonder about family members not being annoyed by constant advertisement as well. Especially when listening a radio station where they play at least five minutes of ads after 2-3 songs. Which is then followed by a short sequence where they talk about how they love music even though they usually cut songs after three minutes, disregarding the song as the piece of art it is.
My guess is that they don't really listen to anything most of the time but want a certain degree of background noise.

Yeah, it's weird to think lots of people watch stuff exclusively on them. But, hey, it works for them I guess.

As for family members, yeah, I mentioned it to my sister and she just put up with them. Her response was basically "Well, I could get youtube premium". Maybe I should look into installing something on her phone to bypass this stuff.

For the price of some switches, new soft pads, and a soldering iron I fixed my doubleclicking mouse. I now have a functioning mouse and a soldering iron. It's like getting a free toy.

I found a use for the soldering iron. I want to use a CRT TV for my consoles, but despite living in Europe some of my consoles are NTSC. Many of the local PAL CRTs most likely do not accept NTSC signal on composite, but I could use RGB on SCART. Not all consoles natively display RGB.

SNES has a lot of peculiarities on the chip affecting video quality, but it does output RGB by default on both NTSC/PAL with the correct(!) cable as long as it's not the Mini which does require a mod. I have an NTSC-J regular one. No idea which chip, don't care.
https://www.retrorgb.com/snes.html

My Gamecube is PAL. It supports RGB natively unlike NTSC. I need a different cable than the N64/GC cablefor this one. If I can't find any options I might have to make my own cable, but I found both NTSC and PAL cables on Aliexpress. Hopefully they're not erronously marked as such, one was even marked EU NTSC which... Well... One marked PAL had a comment from someone saying it had capacitors instead of the resistors required for PAL and could not be used. I might have to modify my own cable if whoever I order from in the end send me one like that.
https://www.retrorgb.com/gamecubeoutput.html

N64 doesn't support RGB by default, but it should be a doable mod for anyone with a bit of practice already and the tools that make it easy (the right tools are half the job, as we say). Just need to check which N64 you have first because apparently not all of the chips are compatible.
https://www.retrorgb.com/n64.html
My N64 already has a HDMI mod installed though, I'm a bit scared to combine both mods as the HDMI modchip was quite expensive (pre-installed from used marketplace), but seeing as they're different outputs it should probably be fine. I saw some video of someone else having both mods after a bit of looking around so I'll give it a go.
A HDMI modded N64 can display both HDMI and Composite at the same time, kind of neat if one wants to play on console and record to a computer at the same time.

Fortunately since my N64 is also NTSC, I can use the same cable for the N64 and the SNES. Using an NTSC scart cable on a PAL N64/SNPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You should invest in small air compressor instead of buying canned air. The air compressor is useful for a lot of things other than cleaning dust out of stuff. But it's also the best tool for that purpose.

 No.1764

>>1763
Should have added: They make some nice small ones now that are good to keep in your car with an inverter to power it. But for home use I suggest splurging on one of the ones with a large tank and wheels. It should last you a life time so the $200 is well spent. I've got a few myself. One is very large and I've had it for probably $30 years now. I have a really old one with an exposed belt from the 1930s-60s or somewhere in there. Could never be sold today because it would have to be covered in warning labels. But it does the job well enough.

The reason you want the large tank is because it can store more air. That way the motor isn't forced to run all of the time.

If you just need it for cleaning out electronics one of the small ones might be better suited. But those things take forever to pump up a tire with.

The reason they're so useful is because you can use them to forced compressed air into things like fuel lines, AC drain lines and other hard to reach places. Usually you can force out any kind of blockage with the air alone. They're way better than using canned air for cleaning components because there is more force and you don't have to worry about spraying cold crap all over whatever you're working on if it's in a hard to reach place. Plus people won't accuse you of being a huffing addict. I had a roommate years ago that would still canned air from the case I kept around and huff it. No idea why he thought it was a fun high but he was pretty addicted.

Of course I'm not that bright either. I use to hold the cans upside down and freeze my hand with them to see how long I could endure the pain. Not recommended but nothing bad ever happened from doing that stupid shit.

Anyway, you can pick up used air compressors pretty cheap. Check out estate sales and yard sales. Usually when an old mechanic or working man passes away his wife is looking to off load a lot of tools like that. Everyone should own one. If you have a car or anything else with tires it's a really useful thing to keep around.

I ended up buying an expensive cable that works for both NTSC and PAL. Hopefully that wasn't a waste of money, but it works great on all my consoles despite region differences. The N64 rgb mod was incredibly easy. Thank god for the wizards who invent this stuff. Took longer to take apart the console than to solder it on. If I hadn't done this my poor N64 would still be in black and white.

I probably won't solder anything again until my keyboard or mouse breaks again. Using a Pinecil V2, tiny and works pretty well. I dread the day I may have to recap the CRT. There's probably over 100 capacitors inside that thing. Kinda dangerous too if you don't know what you're doing.

My biggest problem with Rust is the development model. A language, especially a language aiming for safety and security in the way Rust is, should really be defined by a stable spec. Instead, it's defined by a single reference implementation that's developed like a web browser.

But as a language, it's got too much C++ and not enough C. Way too big, way too complex, way too confusing. My ideal systems language would basically be a stricter, more explicit C with opt-out run-time safety features like bounds checking.

I'm not good with OS stuff. What's this merger for realtime linux about in less than 10 minutes?

 No.1830

>>1829
Linux has always had the ability to be a real time OS. A real time OS ensures low latency in kernel space. Here is the best way to think about it;

You know how a guitar works? Imagine a guitar plugged into a computer via an audio interface. With a normal mainline kernel there might be a slight delay when you strum the guitar. You have headphones plugged into your DAC and are strumming the guitar. With a non-real time kernel there might be a several millisecond delay delay between your strumming and when you hear the notes in your headphones.

With a real time kernel there is no delay. When you strum you will hear the notes at the exact same time.

Real time Linux kernel have been a thing for decades. They form the basis of all the multimedia/digital audio workstation distros. This e-celeb or whoever (I didn't watch the video) is just going over information everyone that works with this type of software has known for years. Maybe they finally merged the patches into mainline or something. I dunno.

The trade-off with a realtime kernel is the fact that it can cause high CPU usage in some cases. For the vast majority of users a realtime kernel isn't needed and can cause various issues with day-to-day stuff.

Realtime kernels are mainly used for things like I mentioned above (multimedia production) or for other tasks where realtime is vital to functionality (imagine a fighter jet with a stick hooked up to a small computer that controls the flaps). If you want to know more read about Real-time operating systems on wikipedia. The vast majority of them are not UNIX based and are small OSs geared towards specific tasks running on small computers.

Jisaku-ing a keyboard.
Following the video, tried creating a 3x3 "keyboard" with switches on a breadboard, was pretty simple to connect and program. Won't be doing much software though, mostly just soldering diodes and wires from the switches to a micro controller.
Thinking of making some compromises with the keyboard body and switches/keys by scavenging an old keyboard I have lying around. Right now, my goal is to create a working model and implement a custom layout for the keys. Maybe if this works out, I'll look into CAD-ing a proper case for a new board, and installing some good switches (the ones I have right now are off-brand reds).
All in all, the project is looking pretty doable so far... So long as I don't mess up during the soldering phase. Going to have to do a ton of practicing before I'm confident enough to work on the switches, don't want to be ruining them. Want to spend as less as I can on this.


*Will drop the project if I deem it financially unfundable (because I'm broke)

The 16g (naked) copper wire (and heat shrink) he used in his build is what I'm referring to. Sure they look cool, but it was damn near impossible to have a solid connection between the pin and the copper wire. With a normal wire (like the one I'm currently using) you can wrap the copper around the pin to stabilize it, then solder it to further stabilize the connection; with the 16g copper wire, since the wire is so thick, you can't wrap it around the pin so the connection is dependent on just the solder alone, one strong push and it breaks apart.

Connecting all the rows and columns to the micro controller was way harder than it was supposed to be; my theory is that it was because the soldering iron was a cheap one. Looking further into soldering irons after the tip was basically useless (should have looked into it further before buying one...), turns out that being too hot also causes rust. Needed to keep it within a certain temperature range to be able to use it for a long time but the one I bought didn't have any temps monitoring to it, it just heated the iron as long as it was connected to an electric source.
Thankfully, the set I bought came with 5 spare tips, was able to solder all the rows and columns after going through 3 of them. Now, the keyboard works, but I don't know how stable the connections to the micro controller are. I think as long as it's just sitting on my desk, there shouldn't be any problems. The wire is a little shorter than I'd like it to be, but it's the longest micro usb-b cable I have at hand.

Here's what the finished product looks like. Had to repurpose some of the non-standard sized keys, so the + and the Shift keys you see in the image are actually LShift and SpaceBar keys. All in all, kind of glad I did it, have a working keyboard in the layout I liked, and I can now put the old one in a showcase or something. Though, there are some regrets; regret the soldering iron thing a lot. I could have easily bought a better soldering iron if I'd added the copper wires budget to the soldering iron budget... Also regret making the plate yellow......
Not the best of executions, the plate is too small to fit to the case, the case's standoffs are broken, the connections to the MC could disconnect at any time, but I can use it and it stays in place. In the end, all that matters is that it werks™.
A break down of the total costTotal expenditure on the project: ~$190
Soldering kit + helping hands cost: $38
Total parts cost: $40
Money wasted on parts I never used: $24
Total cost just for the keyboard (includes 3D printing cost, electric parts, and keycaps): $86

That's not bad. Did you have fun learning the stuff? It's a skill you can apply to future projects or whatever so that's worth something.
Are you going to label the keys? Add neon lights? Personalize it at all?

Yeah, it was fun. Soldering the rows and the columns were fun, seeing how clean it looked... It's just that the project ended on a low note with kuso soldering with the MC... Learned plenty of stuff about soldering, keyboards, USB, even 3D designing and printing. Fun experience, but yeah it's how something ends that sticks with you, pretty meh ending.
>label the keys
The keys are already labeled actually, it's just on the sides of the keycaps, you can kind of see them on the top row keys and some on the bottom row.
>lights
At first, my thought was to add some RGB after the fact, but now I'm too scared to open up the back (so to speak), because it might disconnect some wire somewhere on the MC...
Maybe some day, after I've saved enough again, I'll buy a better soldering kit, some better keys (want the brown ones), and re-do the connections in a better way.

If you've gotta program an algorithm you've gotta use CSS

Out of curiosity I tried it with an actual gradient image

.sidebar-container.pannel-borders.fixed-sidebar , .side-segment.pannel-borders.thread-page-layout {
border-right: 8px solid;
border-image: url(https://haiji.kissu.moe/test/src/1726185772007.png) 10 fill;
}
Changing the numbers there can effect the filling so that's kind of cool. The change from 10 to 9 is pretty drastic as it fills in the whole area below the box.
I guess it's related to pic related https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-image-slice

This mozilla page is pretty informative, I like it more than other css sites I've used in the past.

kinda weird

that's how the sticky scrolling is handled for the sidebar. There's a small panel that stretches a bit. I think there's a way to make it not do that. Lets see....

 No.1758

.thread-page-layout.sidebar-container {
border: unset;
height: calc(100vh - 4px);
}

Try seeing what this does to it. This will make that sidebar box take up more vertical height

Hmm, don't think that did anything. But, I think we're spending too much time on this and it's something I can go back to later. There's probably a simpler answer in just adjusting the image itself.
