Right on. I’ve moved onto a dirty iPhone since, but here’s a screenshot of my super old Android setup back from when Material was new. After Android took out all the fun stuff custom ROMs could do, I sort of fell out of love with Android.

I had a cool feature at one point where it started out looking like this and unlocking it would make the circle expand and the background would show in full.

Man, I miss early KLWP

Any time! I’m a graphic nerd with none of the book learning, but I do work at a screen printing shop, so I have some intuitive understanding of logo/icon design, but don’t have the theory to go with it.

In other words, I have wildly subjective opinions that I’ll randomly dig my heels in on. (Sometimes when I have no idea what I’m talking about ha!)

Take these icons, add one more layer of simple gradient shading: perfection

For example, GIMP’s icon looks especially bad here to me. If it had just a hint of black shading, it would look massively better (imho).

I think I’m in the same place. I really like the idea of icons having depth. Modern icons are very versatile, but lack personality. Having some depth gives them some weight, but never really liked the emphasis on curves and gradients. I think a mix of original Material design and just a hint more depth would be the perfect sweet spot.

Total hidden fem I watched recently called Kevin Can F— Himself. It’s a unique concept where any time the titular at character is on screen, it’s filmed like an 80’s sitcom. As soon as he leaves set, it’s a stark drama.

Really unique concept and haven’t seen anything like it before. 2 seasons with a proper ending. It’s currently on Netflix.

Another better known one is Yellowjackets. Although, major gore/stress/horror warning on that one.

I can imagine being robbed and a drone just flies around with blinking red and blue lights with a siren.

Gotta be at least 3 if I had to guess

Technically speaking you’re supposed to destroy your local copy of you no longer have the original since the rights stay with the original. That being said, no one is coming to knock on your door for photocopying some books you owned and no longer own.

I did my searching based on music/CDs since the wording is a lot more clear, but the same rules apply since were still talking about copyright infringement.

As long you’re making the copy for personal use and aren’t selling/distributing, you are fully in the clear:

• It’s okay to copy music onto special Audio CD-R’s, mini-discs, and digital tapes (because royalties have been paid on them) – but not for commercial purposes.

As far as ethical, this is mostly up to you, but unless it’s from an independent artist/distributor, I personally see it as: if you were never going to be a customer to begin with, they're not losing anything. I am, however, against then reselling it yourself. Ymmv.

Not being able to see the face of the person who does the stupid thing also has a massive impact on how people think of the other drivers. Similar to how (most) people who would chew someone out over the phone will hesitate to do the same in person.

My phone support days had way more customers willing to be nasty than any of my retail jobs.

I will never forget you.

MEMORY DELETED

It has some fancy features to allow for custom heating presets among other things. Also, it means you can easily repair/modify the hardware for whatever reason you might come up with.

I want your attention in my mouth

Short version is that most of these are based on the ESP32 microcontroller. They allow you to upload code of any sort and have it make use of the hardware available. They also allow you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allowing you to do all sorts of unique IoT stuff without needing to find a random company to make it for you and have access to your network.

As a current example, I’m planning combining the smallest one and the digit display to connect to the ODB port on my car and show my gas mileage, digital speed, etc since I have an older car.

Plus they’re just neat!

I’m very jack-of-all-trades. This is just one of many collections for different hobbies.

You know, if I’m being completely honest, I’ve struggled to find something useful for it. It’s incredibly niche. I mostly collect these cause I think they’re neat, and try to find uses for them later.

M5 Stack microcontrollers mostly. They can be programmed to do all sorts of things, and almost every device here can connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Not a series, but the movie Your Name is one of my favorite stories ever.

For me:

1. Set goals
2. Accomplish those goals

That’s what gives me the best feedback. The more realistic goals I set and the more often I accomplish them, the better I feel. Bonus points for setting “due dates” for bigger goals and seeing if you can meet your own deadline.
