Guy Fawkes is so passe. I'm waiting for a national crime spree by a duo wearing Epstein and Trump masks, with Kash Patel following along to show off in women's jackets while reassuring us it wasn't the real DJT and Jeffery Epstein that robbed a lemonade stand.
I know the general reality is "printing just works". I interact with printers at least a couple times a year and never have any real problems. My question comes from considering buying a large-format printer, largely for bookbinding tasks. How important is it to find a printer the vendor actually provides linux drivers for? In particular, I'm eyeing the Canon TC-21, which doesn't offer a linux driver. But I noticed Epson, who's generally better, seems to randomly lack Linux drivers for specific large-format printers.
Edit: whoops. Totally forgot to mention. It is an "IPP Everywhere" printer; I'm just not clear how well that works for non-standard print sizes or roll print jobs.
Looking at an offgrid build, no HOA to annoy, and I'm wondering why I even need siding, rather than exterior mineral wool with UV facer, z-girt, air-gap, wall-of-panels. Frankly, they're cheap enough it seems more sensible to even put them on the north wall, where they'd basically be a science experiment in pure reflective solar generation. Quick back-of-the-envelope math says that I'm in for about as much with my "PV wall" as a quality steel panel setup.... It's kinda shocking I can't seem to find pictures of this being done.
Structure is on columns, raised so that you could park under it; no issues with "too close to the landscaping" or snow buildup.
Has anybody got notes on deploying hall effect sensors in a matrix to monitor magnetic keys that don't line up 1:1 with sensors? I figure something like the flux change in the 3 closest sensors to a key could be used to identify a key without dedicating a sensor to every key.
I figure the "Flux Keyboard" is likely doing this, but I haven't found anything on the general market. In my insanity, I'm considering taking a buckling spring chassis or similar, replacing all the springs with opposing magnets for levitation, and then measuring flux changes to determine key presses.
I get the textbook answer, "they wanted to secede". But that goal wouldn't resolve primary grievances:
Both the wrong subreddit and yet probably the best place for this.
I've been interested in a reduced-eyestrain monitor, but for full interactivity. Given the rather steep price of the larger Dasung and Boox 25 inch displays along with limited features, I'm toying with a desk setup with a high-resolution projector.
A bit of casual googling didn't turn up anything, thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen a decent setup. I'm imagining something vaguely like a classic microfilm reader, but delivering a 4k projection onto a relatively small high-contrast projection surface.
