@foone this seems like something vaguely up your alley. https://mastodon.social/@jamesthomson/112559491809510714

@foone I have read @fabinou 's book and I'm wracking my brain and....I've got nothing. Something related to the skybox is my shot-in-the-dark-pretty-sure-it's-wrong guess.

@foone as a chemistry lab technician, we use USB ion chromatographs. Ammo count can be encoded as the measured conductivity, pump speed setting can encode a turret rotation command, and “start sample” can fire.

@foone Mmmm, built-in Roku to do that forced motion smoothing because you need it when your refresh rate can't be anything but 60 fields per second.

@foone I was so enamored with that stupid Weezer video that my computer could play and it was all “wooow, it’s so smooth and high resolution!”

@MeanwhileinCanada Oh frick. I work for a chemical plant in rural California that has a failure of a potassium sulfate plant (wasn't economically viable to run) they built a few years ago. It makes a tiny amount, but I bet the people here are about to be cheering that we can spin that plant back up and run it at a profit because of the terrible economic policies that are destroying most people but might have a glimmer of a non-negative impact on a community of a thousand people.

@foone are you going to handle the error case where the second transmission detects an error in the first and the CRC they return is actually wrong for the data you’re trying to send? Or just YOLO it?

@foone Memories of my gargantuan 6.4 GB HDD that I got in late '97...which had to be partitioned into three 2GB volumes. Good times.

@foone I don't think that's where I'd have thought to put Escape...I feel like that would be in Function, Commands, or Navigation. Which is obviously terrible because it means we just have confusion.

@foone Surely someone would have set the colors visible to see what it looks like, same as you did. But then if they're anything like me thought, "Oh, it's wrong. But it works. So is it wrong? Actually, this is better because it's funny."

@foone Alt+Space, M (for Move), then arrow key, then move the mouse also works and is my go-to. Also works great for windows that don't have a taskbar icon!

@foone Also you can use the Alt+Space thing on Win 3.1! Not useful because, as you say, no multi-monitor, but you still can!

@foone piping a directory listing to a text file and dropping that on random.org like us plebes do is just too good for you?

@foone sounds like you're inventing a new category to speedrun.

@foone people are gonna be submitting entries in Mandarin to have fewer characters for the same concepts, of course.
