Technology Will Save Us, from a brighter past, produced the Arcade Coder as their swan song. It had 12×12 tactile buttons with color leds inside, a companion app to program it with scratch like code blocks, and interactive tutorials. It's ESP32 based. There's an effort to continue it's life, ast the app was on the app store for a brief time. https://github.com/padraigfl/twsu-arcade-coder-esp32


There's a goverment issued public & private key right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_identity_card


Japan has them built into My Number Cards too https://www.digital.go.jp/en/policies/mynumber/private-busin...


Clearly the mark of the beast.

Other thought “And clean our cities of the crooked nose vermin” so it’s all good?


In practice both paths were bad in varying ways, it's just that one was paved with a disregard for others, the second paved with good intentions.

eg: Daisy Bates oozed good intentions

and strongly put the case that:

     "As to the half-castes, however early they may be taken and trained, with very few exceptions, the only good half-caste is a dead one."
and a number of other firm opinions that spawned a regime of hugging "the good ones" to death while abusing the "in betweens".

But yeah, good intentions.


Conte was French anyway, there’s no h-word for hard in french..


Haha, the Windows screensaver Easter egg level is a nice touch ;)


Can’t upload mp3 from iOS for some reason. Stays gray in file upload modal. Name is 1.mp3


Hi, sorry the server was down, now it's back up! You should be able to upload now.


A physical control changes position and stays in that position so you can feel it to know if your turn signal is on for example.

Real button changes position when you press it. Haptic button is flat surface with vibrating motor inside that buzzes so it "feels" like a click. Like in a smartphone.

The ones I have seen have a lag, so you don't immediately know if your button press was registered or not.


It’s GE ad


You’ll need Vinegar extension for safari for that. It forces standard video player on youtube.com, and you’ll have to uninstall YT app.


Whoa! Thanks - that’s exactly what I needed. Downloaded, paid, celebrated.
