  1. I believe there's minimal overlap but they exist, as I have not observed it either in this context or in the comments. It's worth noting that the Amazon reviews predate my observations by several months. I'm inclined to think that the LTT audience, being technologically inclined, has a comprehensive understanding of how 5G operates, its safety standards, and the fact that one doesn't sleep adjacent to the transmission towers. It's disheartening to witness individuals who, due to misinformation, fear that 5G could cause them harm when the towers are required to meet safety standards which have been in development for a very long time. Unfortunately, there exists a subset of the population that harbors apprehensions about 5G.
  2. Indeed, the video demonstrates the paint's capability to block signals from a cellular network node, which implies it could attenuate signals from other common networks we encounter daily, such as Wi-Fi, Cellular, Bluetooth, and even Radio and Television. However, the effectiveness against these signals would vary based on their specific frequencies and the regional standards. The performance would also be influenced by factors like the paint's application coverage, the frequency of the intercepted signal, and the power of the transmitting node. This is also why they mention a Faraday cage in the video. It's concerning to observe that some individuals view this as a remedy to their apprehensions about 5G. Reviewing comments on Amazon, it's evident that certain individuals are using this product due to discomfort. While there might be a case for using such paint for sensitive specific equipment, it seems some are going to the extent of painting their home walls under the guise of 'protection'.
  3. Truly, this video was fun. It seemed like there was ample time for experimentation, and I've noticed the absence of the EMC chamber lately. It'd be fascinating to see its effectiveness on items like wallets, accessories, or as mentioned, cameras and other devices with sensitive information like mentioned in the video.
  4. Both can do almost the same stuff with the right privileges. Although this is the case I believe ps is more powerful in terms of predefined commands and better module support. If this is going to be something that is user friendly, I would write a bat for invoking UAC and Admin to then start the ps process where you can define your actual logic. Edit: Also check out some other Windows Debloat Tools that are available on GitHub, this can give you an idea on what the majority uses for what reasons by looking through their past issues where they discuss about their findings and this will also give you some extra things you might have not known that you can add to your de-bloater script.
  5. Yeah, and in theory increasing the DPI of the mouse as well for a smoother experience using the mouse. Well I guess we found a solution to that problem haha. Anyways, Nice meeting you Ariel I'm looking forward to seeing more of your contributions to videos and similar projects in the future and brainstorming with you over the forums .
  6. Surely some ambitious grad student has scribbled down a thesis on this by now, right? If not, I'm totally game to make academic history—well, kind of. Although not sure how interesting turning a Soviet-era mouse into the ultimate gaming peripheral via interpolation magic would be haha. Only problem is, I signed up for innovation, not calculus! In theory, we possess the two endpoints, but interpolating the in-between frames for the added movement might cause the mouse cursor to jump inconsistently. By utilizing the starting position combined with the added extra movement to hit expected DPI, a smoother trajectory might be achieved. I'm actually intrigued to try this out – perhaps using a basic mouse from a discount store but imitating values to mimic the behavior of the soviet era gaming mouse. As for the tactile experience, I'd anticipate a delay when making rapid mouse movements. I imagine the system would be busy interpolating the in-between frames, so any sudden direction changes might momentarily decelerate this process. Additionally, artificially increasing the DPI during these swift movements might be a good approach, aligning the performance with the expected DPI level for smoother tracking yet this adds further extensive logic and more possibilities of it not working at all.
  7. Hey Ariel, Excellent job on the project, particularly given its age predating both of us. I'm curious: could Linear Interpolation been utilized to minimize the jumpiness and ensure smoother transitions, while also increasing the travel in conclusion increasing the DPI with smooth movement? I'm looking forward to seeing more of your contributions to videos and similar projects in the future.
  8. I shall use this to play DCS and recreate flying a jet using a mouse from the 1960's.
  9. Indeed, while open-sourcing a single file might not be the best approach, its primary purpose is for archival. For software or other items that were no longer in active use or deemed less critical, we placed them in an organization dedicated solely to archival. This could be a suitable solution in this instance. In essence, it's a more reliable form of cold storage than uploading it to an ad-infested file host or not open at all. In the company under discussion, most lab activities center on testing and other related tasks. For open source ofcourse in most cases, work isn't consolidated into a single file, with the exception of unique cases where the board's flash size is smaller than some configuration files like in this case and I expect their normal projects to be larger overall. This mouse project to be one of those edge cases to help the video go on as they have knowledge in this work but we overall don't see LTT do projects like these. When it comes to videos, there could be a central org for main and a archive org for niche projects that houses repositories for all projects, detailing the work completed on each. Even if only one video has covered a project, if management finds renewed interest in it, viewer feedback can be invaluable. Should a project restart and developers require assistance, they can simply open the floodgates, and share the link on the forum. Furthermore, adopting an open-source and well-documented system can be incredibly valuable in a managerial context. Regardless of the scale of our company, even when developing something as straightforward as a REST API, thorough documentation is crucial. This ensures that if a critical team member becomes unavailable and a product issue arises, the team is well-equipped to address it. "If person a goes to holiday and product b breaks" This is not the case with the current project we are talking about but it is still a good practice to follow to improve project planning and deadline estimations not only for this project but for anything that is taken up by a team. Also not sure what you mean by I meant this as the compact nature of this project is so simple that even a simple react app starter template is bigger than this mouse projects flash upload. A mouse interpreter on npm would be absolutely useless, I think we had a miscommunication there.
  10. I'd like to clarify that I never suggested the labs team should open-source everything, as doing so indiscriminately might be counterproductive. I work for a company (also small) deeply rooted in open-source software, where some of our public work can be traced back to our private repositories. (With appropriate licensing ofcourse) Furthermore, I've contributed to and maintained multiple repos with a significant following both public and private. While this might not seem significant, it gives me insights into the domain we're discussing. The primary focus here is not on open-sourcing everything. Instead, it's about a specific program that converts serial signals into mouse inputs. Given its specialized function and intended platform – the Raspberry Pi Pico with its 2 MB onboard flash – it's clear that this is not some expansive application or service. Its compact nature makes it much simpler than a starter template on a npm project based on a new upcoming hip modern JavaScript framework. Going forward I would even guess that its one file. For such a program, a README would suffice for documentation. This isn't a complex microservice destined for extensive use by a vast audience. It's a straightforward mouse interpreter tailored for the Raspberry Pi Pico. It's unlikely to demand continuous updates or ongoing support. I'm uncertain how the idea of the labs team needing to open source everything came about as I didn't mean overall in a sense thats absolutely everything but major projects. Another thing I would like to add is that they don't need extensive infrastructure or services related to this topic. While I've experienced the demands of teams that rely on scaling services from multiple companies, all requiring consistent updates and maintenance, that's not the case here.
  11. This is definitely true but having something out there is better than nothing. I am a person who works on open source software predominantly on personal time and at work and for anything that may have no support but is there for reasons of archival/documentation creating a warning on the readme which is more than enough most of the times but another option being fully disabling issues and not letting pull requests come in if not part of an organization will do the trick. The reason open sourcing was referenced in the comments is I believe due to the labs related work going open source overall.
  12. Quote from the video on timestamp: 13:34 "tweak the pico to move farther, right on each pole and it could be a lot faster but that would make the jitteriness to go up, we could make the jitteriness to go away by making it not move as far so its not skipping 10 pixels each time, but then it would be even slower" But here's a thought: Why not extend the pico's movement to have less precision from the mouse with a further location than the original (which linus says adds jitteriness due to skipping 10 frames), and then interpolate between the points before passing it to the pc? Given that there are ample cycles available, this could potentially maintain the increased and interpolated DPI without adding jitteriness. Am I missing something here?
  13. i have done a normal reset and a clean usb full format reset. It is still going on so i don't think its a virus thing at this point. What do you think ?
  14. hmm that is very weird bc the only thing that is on this pc is games from steam/epic/uplay and some unity/eclipse (forge) projects. maybe a anti cheat ?
  15. As i have been having some bsod problems due to my headphones drivers i check my crash log on event viewer and recently my security tab has been filled with Credential Manager credentials were read. recorded very 1 to 3 minutes is normal ?
