This looks amazing: amazon.science/blog/neural-e… I read it as Lyra meets Opus for RED but in a backwards compatible and transparent way. "with DRED, it includes highly compressed versions of up to 50 prior packets (red)." 😍

Thanks to @enginetankard you have no excuse to mis-signal priming samples in compressed audio. It's all explained here medium.com/vimeo-engineering…

Have a pair of Famicom 3D System (HVC-031) glasses and one or both shutters don't work? Don't worry, it's an easy repair.

Cut out a piece of new foam tape and place it over the existing foam tape. The replace the LCDs, and place the circuit board foam side up on the alignment pegs.

Finally, reinstall the LCD frame by clipping it back down. The new foam will provide the extra thickness needed for the Z tape to press against the LCDs. Reassemble the rest of the glasses by performing the disassembly steps in reverse.

Having some problems with my Okidata 82a after a year of nonuse. Was printing white pages, and eventually one pin came back. Put a drop of oil on the print head and more pins came back, but I was still missing at least 2 pins, making lowercase not come out great.

Built myself a little circuit to test the pin in question. It was actually getting stuck "up", which meant it got dragged across the ribbon and paper, which was probably not the best for it. It took about 700mA to trigger the pins.

Video in action. Note that the felt pad moves slightly, confirming the pins go between the two pads. It also throws a bit of oil around from my previous oiling job. (HQ: vimeo.com/728542033)

I was recently "donated" this mystery device. It is a rather bland looking box, with no labels nor product name. However, the connectors look a bit interesting. In the front, besides composite and S-Video, there is also an 8-pin DIN RGB connector.

It is a Micomsoft XVGA-2! Their current website only has a single-line reference to it in their support section, however thanks to archive.org we have a snapshot of the original product listing, and even a picture: web.archive.org/web/19990910…

This cost ¥248,000! You could have spent more on this than the computer you connected it to, for example an entry-level PC-9821 CanBe: pc-9800.net/db_98/db9821d_in…
