Riding horses, hacking computers, phones and smartwatch.
38c3 talk looked interesting to me (58292-deu-Och_Menno_-_How_NOT_to_build_a_submarine), unfortunately it was german-only. So I had a bit of fun with neural networks... and got english subtitles after small fight. Here are my notes https://gitlab.com/tui/tui/-/blob/master/vosk/README.srt?ref_type=heads .

Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!

USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.

This means:

🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”

One charger to rule them all.

@dcz First, thanks for nice presentation at 38ce -- https://streaming.media.ccc.de/38c3/relive/66 . Second -- don't worry about gstreamer too much, I believe it should be fairly easy to do "libobscurasrc" element from rust by calling C APIs.

Souhlasim s Nerudovou: "Robert Fico právě políbil prsten masovému vrahovi v Kremlu. Je to zrada a další nemravný krok, který poslouží ruským zájmům. Robert Fico je pro nás bezpečnostním rizikem." Jen teda dodam, ze to jeste jde napravit. Stacu ho proste nepustit zpet. https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/zahranicni-putin-prijal-fica-267004

Kvalifikace na kucharku je zrejme cestovani v case. Zluty hrach se "ma varit do mekka" a osolit "tesne pred zmeknutim". Jo, jasne, to dava smysl, az zmekne, tak se proste posunu o minutu dozadu a osolim...

Z nejake ezo-debaty:

Ja vidim velky rozdil mezi "spagetove monstrum zpusobilo velky tresk" a "staci odrikat modlidbicku a monstrum vrati ztraceneho psa".

Ó Velké Létající Špagetové Monstrum,
které nás obklopuješ svou laskavou omáčkou,
natáhni prosím své špagetové chapadlo
a veď mého ztraceného psa zpět ke mně.
Ať tvé masové kuličky chrání jeho kroky,
a tvá těstovinová moudrost ho přivede domů.
Ramen!

Vracime se do staje, za nama 3 kone. A zlutej rika, ze pred nama neni neco v poradku. A jo, vypada to zvlastne, neco bilyho tam beha... ale tezko rict jestli v ohrade nebo mimo. No, porad vic to vypada ze mimo, a kdyz dojdem na cestu tak je to jasny. Takze holky dolu, ty teda jeste nechapou proc... a ted co? No, zlutaku, myslim, ze nejakou travu tu najdes, a ja jdu chytat kobylu. To vzbuzuje trochu udiv, ale ne, zlutej se s nikym prat nebude -- je to moc prace a taaamhle je trava.

I thought working on PC in #espruino would be smart, because porting code to watch will then be easy. Well, I was wrong. Apparently 3 levels of recursion are too many, and I'll have to rewrite that.

If you play with colors, and everything looks wrong, check you are not using 8bpp mode.

How does one calibrate colors on reflective screen? I guess printed charts would be useful...

So #banglejs2 display is great at sunlight, but not so great at displaying color.

+/* With backlight on, fujitsu desktop monitor, gimp color picker
+
+ H S V
+ 0 Black is #403f5f 241 33% 37%
+
+ 1 Blue is about #4b6ec0 222 33% 61%
+ 2 Green is #839d68 89 33% 61%
+ 3 "sage green" #7ea581 123 23% 64%
+ 4 Red is about #9d6868 0 33% 61%
+ 5 "muted mauve" #897593 280 20% 57%
+ 6 "sage gray" #cdd5bc 79 11% 83%
+
+ 7 White is cca #a3e8b0 131 30% 91%

Hints how to convert web colors into this base would be welcome. It is 3-bit display, but I can do dithering, I guess...

Framebuffer with 3bits per pixel, width of 176, and first pixel is likely framebuffer[0] & 0xe0; Wow. #banglejs2

Earliest sunsets in SF: last night and tonight, at 4:49:44 pm. Tomorrow's will be two seconds later.

"But Jef," you ask, "it's not the solstice yet. How does that work?" I'm glad you asked! The solstice is the shortest day, but the earliest sunset and the latest sunrise are offset from it in opposite directions because the Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical. Sunrises are still getting later by about a minute per day. They will continue getting later at a slowing pace until January 4th/5th.
