I opened up an old Canon flatbed scanner and more or less removed anything that wasn’t the sensor or the mechanical assembly pulling it along. The optical assembly is hacked together with black foam board, an acrylic magnifying glass and too much gaffers tape.
Think of it as a pinhole shoebox camera with a scanner at the back, instead of photo paper or film.
The mistake was pushing it on Friday morning like a bunch of amateurs, they’re supposed to push it out scheduled on Friday at 5:03PM so you have enough time to get to your car and off the parking lot
AFAIK it was a Thursday night push for people in US mountain time / pacific time. But, that ends up being Friday early morning in Europe and Friday mid-day in Asia.
So when I see those baby on board signs, I give them a pass when they are driving slow or doing silly things at the red light(like pumping their brakes so the car is moving so the baby doesn’t wake up).
Boring fact for the day. The real reason for the baby on board sign isn’t for other drivers, it’s so if there’s an accident, the emergency services will prioritise the cars with the sign. So if you want priority in an accident, you know what to do.
And the highest level of disappointment is finding a 10 year old stack overflow post that is exactly the problem you’re having, but then discover that not only does it not have an answer but you’re the one who asked it 😭
I got 141 once, that’s 3 digits. Another 3 digit number is 999 which is half way there to 1998 which is 2k anyway. So I basically got 2k and I am famous on Lemmy AMA.
MAU is currently at about 45k, up from the low point of about 30k six months ago. The exodus spike subsided over over long time but now that users that didn’t stick have been shed, you can see the user base growing again, though slowly.
