@rsabourin @RuiSeabra @pluralistic This is smaller, but it won't boot Linux, so what's the point? ;-)

Do not threaten William Gibson with a good time.

Oh my. One of my favourite novels, Pattern Recognition had these as a side plot point and I always thought these were an invention… is this a derivation from the book or do these really exist and have done so prior to the 21st century?
And can I buy a Buzz Ricksens flight jacket as well? -

@Eryel Worst part is it's 2D so it's a real navigational hazard if you see it head-on.

It smashed through that fourth wall and never looked back

@Elizafox not just that but all the exposition!

to this day, it's said the STAR WARS logo is still hurtling through space

@AdrianRiskin @conniptions there are enough museums and exhibitions who would gesticulate loudly and take it right now. And they have good contacts to experts to restore it. Here I remember @harzretro with good skills 🖖

An Electric Jellyfish For Androids
We have to admit, we didn’t know that we wanted a desktop electric jellyfish until seeing [likeablob]’s Denki-Kurage, but it’s one of those projects that just fills a need so perfectly. The need being, of course, to have a Bladerunner-inspired electric animal on your desk, as well as having a great simple application for that Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) that you impulse purchased two years ago.
Maybe we’re projecting a little bit, but you should absolutely check this project out if you’re interested in doing anything with one of the CYDs. They are a perfect little experimentation platform, with a touchscreen, an ESP32, USB, and an SD card socket: everything you need to build a fun desktop control panel project that speaks either Bluetooth or WiFi.
We love [likeablob]’s aesthetic here. The wireframe graphics, the retro-cyber fonts in the configuration mode, and even the ability to change the strength of the current that the electric jellyfish is swimming against make this look so cool. And the build couldn’t be much simpler either. Flash the code using an online web flasher, 3D print out the understated frame, screw the CYD in, et voila! Here’s a direct GitHub link if you’re interested in the wireframe graphics routines.
We’ve seen a bunch of other projects with the CYD, mostly of the obvious control-panel variety. But while we’re all for functionality, it’s nice to see some frivolity as well. Have you made a CYD project lately? Let us know!

@aperture We need more chaos like this.
