If we extend this logic a bit, we also need optical and audio filters. Imagine maxing the fans and returning them back to normal speeds slow enough to be able to pick up the noise through a microphone. Or reading the RJ45 socket LED. So many ways to transfer data. It just comes down on how hard it is to exploit such a medium.

I know I'm not in their user demographic but I just use an interactive python shell. This means that I sometimes have to hack something quick and dirty to get some functionality that isn't quite native or I have to import a package/library that does the job. (some examples are grouping bits, coloring by order of magnitude, casting between types or encoding/decoding/serializing/deserializing values)

I remember playing Kid Pix on Windows as a kid. Back then, many programs required you to switch to 256-color mode and wouldn't run unless you did. But somehow, Kid Pix would still let you use it without having to switch modes.

Git repos are distributed by design. I bet all the contributors have at least 1 branch (probably closer to an average of 3) of this project on at least 1 computer that they own.

Once I read the title, I thought this was about Enlightenment but for mobile phones. I can't be the only one that thought of this.

Decentraleyes extension on Firefox results in garbled text. Not sure why this happens. It is supposed to serve some common assets locally instead of requesting them over the network.

I always thought this was a stupid restriction. You can't view the post while authenticated but you can view the post while unauthenticated.

In Greece and Cyprus, capers come in medium, big and gargantuan jars. Really, you can find jars with 3.9Kg of capers!

Greeks/Cypriots usually have them either as a side or in their salad.

Very impressive.

The only thing that looks a bit bad is that the models produced need to be fixed before being able to be sliced.

I only skimmed the article. But my stance is, anyone that ever used cherry-pick or reverted multiple commits is impacted by clean git history. Unclean git history could make a simple 2 minute cherry-pick or revert task to a 30 mins+ job.

Looks like a deconstructed optocoupler while also using an optocoupler.

This is one of these rare instances where you can have hardware recursion.
