Jason Kottke posted a short link on kottke.org asking whether tools like GPS, phones, and AI are deskilling the human body. The quote he pulls out makes the case: “In surrendering to a quick technological fix, we are, moment by moment, doing less sensing, navigating, remembering, walking, choosing, and attending.” The argument is about the […]

oeadmin continues the ESP32 demoboard series on Open Electronics with five more Arduino examples that use the board’s OLED display and its plug-in breakout modules. The first reads hand gestures from an APDS-9960 sensor, a part that detects light, color and motion from about 10 to 20 cm away, and prints the direction on the […]

Carly Page at The Register reports on what happened when parts of Canada stopped changing their clocks. As of November 1, affected areas of British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba are permanently on UTC-07:00, UTC-06:00 and UTC-05:00. Microsoft’s software hasn’t entirely caught up, so some customers are seeing wrong times and broken schedules. Outlook is the […]

Jo Hinchliffe writes on the FreeCAD blog that F3D, the open source 3D model renderer and viewer, can now open FreeCAD FCStd files as of version 4.0. The simplest way to try it is the public web viewer, which loads a sample file or a file from the local machine. There’s more to it than […]

Scharon Harding, writing for Ars Technica, covers Sony’s return to the MDR-3 headphones that came out in 1979 next to the Walkman TPS-L2 cassette player. The new model is called the MDR-3R, and it copies the look of the original: a thin gray plastic headband with metal sliders, and round on-ear cushions in orange. Blue […]
