schestowitz<blockquote><p>Mechanical keyboards often need to pay more attention to Linux support because manufacturers see developers as a little too niche and difficult to make a product which works. Now, Launch Heavy aims to fix those issues – at a price.Dec 18 05:33
schestowitzReleased this week, the Launch Heavy is a Numpad-equipped version of the earlier 84-key Launch. The Launch Heavy's 105 keys aren't in a traditional layout. System76 had its way with the keys to the left of the numpad, getting rid of some completely. The Launch Heavy adds keys above the numpad for media control.Dec 18 05:33
schestowitzUnfortunately, there still need to be buttons for controlling the volume but you can’t have everything.Dec 18 05:33

schestowitz                            <blockquote>Dec 18 09:17
schestowitz                                <p>obarun stands for OpenboxRunit … but has been the home for arch based s6 implementation with tools (currently 66) to make s6 less hostile to MOST users of linux. Runit only lasted a few weeks before s6 was implemented and runit dumped. Currently featuring a graphic installer of base, openbox, jwm, xfce4, and plasma desktops and a setup of s6/66 to get you going.</p>Dec 18 09:17
schestowitz                                <p>joborun stands for JwmOpenBoxObarunRunit, so it is everything Obarun can be, plus runit that can coexist and alternatively boot instead of s6/66, but also replaces most core Arch pkgs with ones built in vaccuum of systemd/logind/udevd. Currently not including an installer, or an iso image, but an old fashioned tarball of the base and instructions on how to make it a bootable system within minutes. Joborun is Dec 18 09:17
schestowitzbasically a source based distro, although it provides 2 tarballs, base system, and builder system, and binary repositories of all packages it provides source for. You always need a binary system to build your binaries, joborun just makes the process easier and quicker, without frustrating fails.</p>Dec 18 09:17

schestowitz                                        <p>We’re ages past the time when a YouTuber could get away with sloppy camera work. If someone wants to achieve any level of success making videos today, they need near-professional camera equipment. But even that equipment isn’t enough if it’s still used for static shots. Many makers build sliders and other rigs, but James Bruton skipped those small steps and jumped straight to a versatile robotic Dec 18 09:21

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.dedoimedo.com | SimpleScreenRecorder - Does as the title saysDec 18 09:23
schestowitz                                <p>Let's start with a spoiler. Recording one's desktop in Linux is a fairly easy task. There are tons of tools that can do the job. Over the years, I've tested perhaps half a dozen of them, and even wrote a bunch of articles, both tutorials and reviews, right here on Dedoimedo. But I last did that in anger around 2010-ish. An infinity ago in Internet terms.</p>Dec 18 09:23
schestowitz                                <p>Indeed, it has been quite a while since I last had an actual need to record my Linux desktop session screen. But the need did arise, and I wondered whether to go back to my oldies and hopefully still goldies or start from scratch. I opted for the latter, as it makes for a better blog post material. So let's have a look at a lovely little program called SimpleScreenRecorder, which will be our hero savior of the day.Dec 18 09:23

schestowitz                                        <p>Shebin Jose Jacob’s solution utilizes the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, along with its built-in microphone, to capture audio and predict when a motor is about to fail. He achieved this by first creating a new Edge Impulse project and gathering samples for four classes of sound: OK, anomaly 1, and anomaly 2, as well as general background noise. After designing an impulse and training a classification model on Dec 18 09:29
