what's exciting about this is that it's got an FPGA with micro-HDMI and usb-c so you should be able to use it as an e-paper monitor out of the box

downloaded this, enjoying it so far. thanks!

Glad to hear that.

"inexpensive". I love that. Like we're all searching for rubik's cube solver robots for our loved ones for christmas but they're all just too damn pricey!

It didn't say it's in high demand, and compared to the other solver robot you can buy (from Gan, probably the only one available) - 100-ish € - it'll certainly be cheaper.

I have a feeling though that this isn't about solving a cube but rather about building a cube solver o : - )

I tried to use this and it showed me an apache2 landing page instead of my app website, which led me to realise my app site had been down for at least a day because apache had actually crashed due to nginx using port 80 (I don't even use nginx so not sure what the heck happened)

Anyway, not the success story I'd hoped to post here, but it definitely solved at least one problem I didn't know I had.

I'm now going to add uptime monitoring

Hey Rory, are we talking about the same app? https://uxaudit.vercel.app

It's really weird that you've seen an Apache2 landing page, as this page is hosted on Vercel.

Do you still get an error message while visiting the same page?

please stop submitting dailymail links. dailymail is fear-mongering hate-speech dressed up as journalism.

This is an op-ed by Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify which he chose to publish in the Daily Mail.

That's on him. I'm not giving the Daily Mail page impressions to read this.

One practical way you could attempt to do this would be to massively tax airline tickets, ideally by distance flown, and then allow people to claim 4 untaxed tickets.

You could also maybe allow people to sell their tickets if they never intend to use them, which would create a new financial incentive for people to never get on a plane.

> real paper made from trees is still considered crucial to countless businesses and government systems globally, despite the environmental impact of producing it. For decades, computers, smartphones and tablets have provided an alternative.

Is the impact of printing a paper navigational chart really higher than replacing that chart with an electronic device?

nice pun

Lego themselves have an archived copy of every instruction set going back to the 80s, available here - https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions

But for whatever reason, the scans are poor quality and very dark, and it can be hard to make out what piece is which. These ones look much better

This can't be true: I am very sure that there exist Lego Technic models from before 1996, which is the oldest year that can be selected.

Indeed, doing an empty search only returns sets from 1996 and forward. Not even entering set numbers from my childhood (pre -96) return any results.

yep you're right, I was wrong, it only goes back to late 90s

In the past I've used that site to get instructions from the late 1990s and early 2000s and I thought they were proper archives (not scans).

Growing up, myself and my siblings built sets when we first got them as gifts, but after that they went in the pile. We would build whatever was in our imagination, from the multicolored heap.

Now I have my own kids, and they all want to build sets from instructions. The odd time we'll dive into the pile of orphaned bits and build a house or a boat or something, but mostly they want to recreate what they remember. My wife spends hours finding all the pieces of a set and bagging them up for the kids to build later (so she's gonna love this)

It's tempting to say "kids nowadays" but I think it's just different personality types. In other media, my kids are far more creative and imaginative than I ever was, but with Lego sets they prefer to recreate the perfect image than make a hodge podge thing that never existed.
