Some argued that the new requirements were to protect cars from theft.

Car thieves: Oh noeeees… anyway 🤷

What's this thing called? ( slrpnk.net )

This was a switch that got its wires pulled out. I learned how to desolder today in order to remove it from the little switch board and now there's three holes where this used to be. Does this component have a name, because I'm wondering whether I can just get a replacement one like this. There are lots of tools and supplies at...

Whenever I order I always get a male and female connector because the terminology doesn’t seem to be consistent across connector designs.

Heh, there are a lot of unusual designs that are neither and both too :D Connectors are wild.

Simultaneous joystick 3-axis protocol

Working on a joystick. Seems like any protocol I use to read from peripherals is going to be bottlenecked by having just one input. My microcontroller might have multiple ADCs, but there's just one processor stepping through them. Same for spi, or i2c, or uart. There's really only ever one sensor reporting back its data at a...

This. It's basically only a thing for rotary encoder, where interrupts should be used for the reading, so they don't miss a beat.

Also: Combining several joystick devices on the PC again is a pain in the neck especially if the game only supports one device of each kind.

Ultrawide on Linux: can you tell a game to take up only the "middle"?

I'm considering buying a 1440p ultrawide display for my gaming machine (Linux Mint, Cinnamon X.Org). Is it possible to set certain games to only use the "middle" of the display? I ask because e.g. a game like League of Legends (it's my guilty pleasure, don't judge! 😂) doesn't seem like a good fit for ultrawide, and I'd rather...

Doing this in reverse all the time. Stretching games on my triple head setup to full size. It's the same principle. If the game doesn't offer it kill it with gamescope, Wine virtual desktop or if nothing helps a completely virtual display that overlays your current:

For some editing the config files directly works wonders. Looking at you Unity!
