Possibly, and I'd be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.

But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can't really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.

Like, does the average pedestrian know what the green and red lights mean on an aircraft? I bet not.

Like someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you've got people using engine braking on hills.

Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn't seem practicable to me.

But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse

Maths is a really good example of this.

At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don't exercise that sponge...), it becomes lazy.

but IDK if I'm great at it.

Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn't go amiss on your demo page?

But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈

Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we've got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)

I love it, and along with the folder they get dumped into being R/O means Immich (and by extension me.....) can't fugg up the timeline ;)

Nah, more like a better WhatsApp but with haters even worse than the WhatsApp haters.

SMB (the protocol) works across devices and OS's, and I use SMBSync2 to dump my photos to my NAS + off site

This has worked fine for me for years even thou the app isn't on the Play Store anymore, and is fairly granular in regards to file types and where you wanna back them up

Do you worry about that Zero being deauthed since it uses 2.4 only still?

I ask as I'm having somewhat of a bit of lag / delay or something I need to look further into later with a Zero/DVBHAT + between my RPi5 / router which is using as its DNS provider (AdguardHome) and because I still use a 2.4GhZ camera (which has also been playing up recently....), got me thinking about having all the cams / Pi's / SFF PC's not only hard wired, but turning off the 2.4GhZ weefee altogether on the router due to Flippers and shit.

tldr: should I care?

Yeah me too, photos and videos I've recorded are the only things I'm bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I've shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.

It's how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn't need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP.....), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it's not broke don't fix it applies.

Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don't even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.

Again, thanks for the insight!

Did a little searching and it seems you could script this to transcribe your calls

Your understanding is that you don't understand what you're trying to tout.

Which is telling. Toodle-pip beep boop
