That was a very fun read. Thank you.


Then these people _obviously_ are not fit to drive a multi-ton killing machine at all and should have their license permanently revoked, when they had multiple chances for introspection.


I think whoever brought up the "fines as revenue" may have thought of Fenton, LA or the like: https://www.propublica.org/article/fenton-louisiana-brought-...


And yet people drive with suspended licenses every day.


Yeah, as if "criminals" cared about the laws. :D (See: gun control).

Sure. The prints fade quickly, especially in the sun. And they are susceptible to heat, rubbing your fingernail along is enough friction heating to cause a black line. So they are not all that usable for something more permanent than a burger receipt.


Huh. Never heard of it. But after quickly reading up on it, I'm kinda happy that my meter does not have that. Seems a bit overengineered. But that's to be expected from our DE/EU standards organizations, I guess. My meter has been installed around two years ago.


Author here. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them :)


I just want to mention Oscilloscope Music [1]. You can find other artists on YouTube. It can be played on analog oscilloscopes with an XY mode. I also recently made a little player with a Raspberry Pi [2].

Awesome project!

Yes, I've also thought about mounting the switches vertically. And more surface should also provide more grip on the table.


Interesting, I did not think about the possibility of moving the sensor to another position. But it makes sense. The Logitech Trackballs I've seen also have a slight offset that could be in the ballpark of 20 degrees.

I will have to do some further experimentation. Thanks!
