I realized a couple days ago that I could get a duplexer accessory for my printer. So I got one and installed it. I love the convenience of automatic 2-sided printing. :)
@JourneymanGeek Those are pretty new phone modems, not like the clunky ones of yesteryear, which probably were more forgiving. The information is useless to me today, but if i get a Off-Grid Cabin in the outback, it would be a nessesity item. even if i wouldnt even want one for free today?
Odly enough there exist telephone lines (and power) run to locations that have Zero cell reception. So in those places it is either phone or sattalite, and many of the Sat systems need a telephone to make requests, the satt sending them the data.
err, sat systems that use a combo of modem that send the request, and faster sattalite data that is one way, receiving the data faster than the phone line can
It's a nice printer. Had it since college. Works great.
I'll probably even get one of those USB printer server boxes so I can hook it up to my network when I get my own place and reorganize, so I can share it over the network without the need for a computer.
Anyone knows if HDMI adapters work in reverse? For example if HDMI Male to HDMI Female works as HDMI Female to HDMI Male or Mini HDMI to Micro HDMI as Micro HDMI to Mini HDMI?
@Boris_yo the device would have to have some sort of driver and possibly supporting software also, to send the video data out to the USB to begin with.
(the device being the smart phone or computer)
unless it was pure magic , which would be a interesting concept (and cost at least $25) to send a "file" out to the device raw out what would have to be a "host" usb on the phone, and the magic box played the file , or decoded and passed data?
MHL is connection agnostic (i.e., not tied to a specific type of hardware connector). The first implementations dual-purpose the most popular mobile connection (micro USB) and the most popular HDTV connection (HDMI). Other than the connectors being used, no USB nor HDMI technology is being used. It is exclusively MHL signalling through the connectors and over the cable. Other proprietary and custom connections are also allowed.
It isnt magnetic is it? the purpose is to reduce electomagnetic interferance, usually they are not needed, some of the way better cables use them, and the way better cables do not have problems from quality so much, so the ones that use them do not need them as much :-)
gizmodo.com/5871162/… I believe they need to be at both end of the cable to be fully effective. I would worry about it more when the cable is very long and becomes a big antenna itself, or around devices that are outputting EM feilds?
transformers, power supplies, CRT monitors even UPSes, and coiled AC cords, if the wires are laying around any of this stuff, it would be more important. Usually you can just keep your data and video wires away from those things, and not have a problem. And have good copper wires, properly shielded.
Or when the cable is very long and therefore the signal is weak going through it, so any noise would easily effect the signal your trying to pass.
@HackToHell I am still waiting for the "crystal" storage, 2 intersecting lasers changing atoms in a clear crystal in 3D to use the entire block structure of the crystal for data storage. Then i can give my girlfriend a drive that looks good on her neck :-)
@HackToHell Everything has ramifications, who cares if my nuclear battery goes into meltdown and kills 300 people, as long as it will run my portable device for 10 years at a time :-)

Is there a software like Camtasia Studio that records computer's screen but in the background so user won't notice?
I'm using Windows 7, putting it into sleep mode and would love this soft to start just after logging.
It would be nice if it could record at least 1-2 hours of work.
I'd love som...
@DanielBeck Yeah… too bad the weather sucks so I have to stay at home :P I'm doing okay. Had a pretty bad injury involving my radial artery, so I was kinda disabled for the last two weeks.
And you can't just get a few stitches and go home. You need to get an emergency surgery, stay in the hospital for at least a couple of days and have the artery itself get stitched together.
@DanielBeck Given how bad all my adapters look, I might even buy one of these.
@DanielBeck Yeah, it looks kinda gross, but it should work. I have to play drums on a gig next week and the doctors said I should be fine.
So that's why I wasn't doing a lot for the past two weeks here. But I learned to love the iPhone's speech recognition. It's not as bad as everyone says.
Well, English speech recognition is awesome. But even in German it works pretty well.. colloquial speech etc. I thought it was a nice gimmick first, but I love to use it.
Like, when you're in bed already, lights turned off, and just tap the phone and tell it to set an alarm for tomorrow.
@slhck I need to have to get up in the morning and walk to the phone (or alarm clock) to turn it off. Doing that requires a minimum level of ... awakeness? Otherwise I won't get out of bed before noon or so.
@slhck Someone has a project idea/concept/prototype and needs money to actually produce it. They raise that money by promising $stuff to backers (investors, basically), usually $product they want to create.
In this case, they had a product idea and created the designs, maybe even a prototype. To make it viable cost-wise, they need to have a production run of 10,000 pieces or so. To make sure they don't risk their own necks by producing and not selling, they're finding investors.
If a project doesn't reach the goal at or before the deadline, nobody pays anything, and the project failed.
@SimonSheehan It seriously sucks to catch up with the news and other RSS feeds of last week. I have to check the date things were published all the time :-/
