For one it can adequately show if your WiFi is performing well...

In a home network setting I've got a UDP display sink (64x64px, RGB) with a custom protocol. It works fine-- no hard number as the performance varies based on other factors, including congestion. I've been able to push it to >90fps, but around 42fps there is virtually no flicker.

For context in my protocol I use all 512bytes, with 3 first being the "line number and such" data and the rest containing ~128 pixels.

I would give the LLM statistical tools that work to find general anomalies, distributions etc. from the spreadsheet. Then it's about an LLM interpreting (or not) those results in natural language.

Of course this is a can of worms for a product because we can still not guarantee accuracy.

Reduce Transparency in Accessibility settings removes the glass effect, but I believe has been updated to be closer to the translucent effects in current iOS.

Another option is water slide decal. It can give a really seamless look, but is time consuming and expensive.

Better to draw boxes, print, then scan. I reckon it will somehow be possible to see through the sharpie -- for example change in shine.

As a hobbyist I use it to drive HUB75 LED matrix. I use the W version so it receives UDP packets of each line to draw a full frame. This equates to about ~5mbps at my desired framerate, and it handles the task like a champ!

I can't stress how fast it is when using on resource constrained envs like a Pi Zero.

I intend to use system python there but previously poetry will simply crash the whole Pi while installing itself.

What really helped me was doing some sessions with an Orthoptist to reeducate my eyes. I used to see double when stressed sometimes and could never imagine to converge/cross my eyes and retain focus. With the reeducation I was able to see the Impossible one in focus after a couple tries.

I find these a visual noise. What can be achieved with a subheading "Bug fixes", "Features" etc. is repeated in all lines.

At one point my laptop had some thermochromic indicators to indicate when the laptop became warm. I salvaged it from dead duracell batteries (ones which have a battery level indicator). I noticed that it's too slow to react though.

Sorry but at home I would like to connect to my WiFi, with my preferences and access to my local network. The last time I was forced to use a common access point was in my dorm at the university, and even then I bought a small travel router to rebroadcast the AP.

But I do understand what you mean. I guess one thing to do is to set the router to not broadcast at full power, and use 5GHz to limit the range.

A good read, thanks. I like the description of take/give sides and it's well portrayed. I wondered if there's any take home message here for salvaging a give-take conversation.

I'd crudely deduct that being takers/givers in a conversation may be a function of cultural, linguistic, social, and intellectual dimensions coupled with personal, emotional, and ambient states a person is in.

As such there's really very little just one party can do to have a better conversation flowing on their own. So apart from affordance, I think participation seems to also be a key factor and can be seen as "push or pull or slide" aspect of that doorknob.
