An awesome idea from Mark Rober !


Damnit, you got me with that one !!


Wow what a trip down memory lane - I was obsessed with this as a child !

The sounds of each tool instantly transport me back !


I really hope that when Apple is forced to open up access to competing app stores that there will be a setting for me to ban sideloads or downloads on my parents devices.


I’ve really been enjoying the “Safety Third” podcasts from William Osman and co - not particularly informational but very entertaining, especially given most of the guys are from a science and engineering background.

Darknet Diaries is also one I recommend - Jack is a great host and storyteller.


Darknet diaries is always interesting


Don't think it's particularly innovative really - a lot of electricians in the UK are now installing the Quinetic - https://www.quinetic.co.uk/ - system and it works really well in terms of wireless switches.

Mostly it's not to save the cost of the actual cable - but to save the install cost on an old brick building, where installing a new switch requires fairly extensive work to the house and brickwork.


I haven't seen Quinetic before. This is ever smarter than the solution in the article. Just use the kinetic energy of the press, rather than collecting ambient energy. Seems more reliable. OTOH limits what kind of switches can be used.


What sort of force is required to activate them, is touch enough? Do they make noise to click?


yeah exactly, I was like "what's new here?"

I already have these in my house


At a guess I would say probably using OCLP - https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher - lots of life left in old Mac’s using that tool !


And when that comes to an end, you can try Fedora Linux and it may serve very well. Especially if for a shared computer you need browser plus some other popular apps. I use Fedora on my old Hackintosh (that served me well for over a decade) and I hadn’t noticed any difference with macOS software and aesthetics-wise.


OLP made Mac unusable. Too slow to even load icons in the system settings. Had to revert back to Catalina.


Oh wow e107 takes me back to my early days of working on websites for my latest gaming obsession !


I just don't pick up the phone to numbers that are not saved in my contacts anymore - seems to have saved me a tonne of hassle.


Great to see OBS also being used on this one - although I imagine setting up and configuring that many instances of OBS must have been a bit of a pain.
