Geoff 🏴I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.
Extreme Electronics@_thegeoff I keep a special pencil that is just the right size for this. Much quicker than the scroll bars.
@Extelec Just open up the keyboard and short the "home" key connectors? Nice.
@_thegeoff No, use the pencil to turn the manual scroll cog wheel which is on the right side of older monitors.
You can wind back the page back to the start that way.
@Extelec For a minute there I though you were going to suggest manually spinning the server's tape drive back to the headers, but that would be daft!
@_thegeoff Of course not!
You need a MUCH bigger pencil for that!
@_thegeoff If you have a CD/DVD, I do have a 3d printed adapter for rewinding them using a pen, if that helps.
CD/DVD Rewinder by Extkits
You know that pain, you want to watch your favourite DVD or CD and find that the last person to use it has put it back in the case without rewinding it.Of course you can put it into your drive and rewind it to the beginning that way, but wouldn’t it be better to be able to rewind it whist playing another DVD/CD ?This to me is an already solved problem, years ago cassettes could be rewound with the use of a biro, or pencil and no special tools. Why not CD’sSo the answer was simple, make a 3Dprinted adapter that will fit into the centre of a CD/DVD and allow it to be rewound with a pencil or pen, just like a cassette.A couple of quick 3dPrints later the DVD/CD Rewinder was born.

Alex Dufournet@Extelec @_thegeoff wait no, it needs to be off center so you can spin it like a cassette tape
@alex @_thegeoff I tried an off centre hole, but the DVD didn't work afterwards.
@_thegeoff @alex ah, yes, but not holeography.
