Is there any non-shady explanation why my Sungrow solar inverter suddenly started to randomize its MAC address?
This year's CNC'ed tree ornaments are Mario themed.

USB video capturing for the Open DMG Display! I adapted the GB Interceptor approach for the #opendmgdisplay, making it likely the first #gameboy IPS mod with integrated USB video output.

Big thanks to @DiConX !

USB video output for the Open DMG Display

USB video output has been added to the Open DMG Display. It is now possible to capture the original display signal via UVC on a PC or smartphone.

Kudos to whoever relabeled our elevator call buttons.
Man, I love USB-C. Just realized that I can show our vacation photos to my mother in law just by plugging a cheap portable screen directly into my phone with a single cable. The phone powers the screen.

For users of my α-remote app:
I have just released a new beta version on the Play Store to test some new features.

- Combine bulb and intervalometer function
- Show remaining exposures for intervalometer
- Show video recording duration in the app
- Allow setting a duration for the trigger-on-focus trigger (relevant for bracketing shots)
- Several fixes and improvements

If you want to test it, you will find a button to join the public beta test on the app's Play Store page.

Anyone interested in roughly 50 hours of spider footage?

Most of it unfortunately from nighttime as the web is nearly invisible during daytime (not triggering the camera). Also a lot is just showing a mess of the web as a storm destoyed it the next day and for some reason the spider did not really rebuild it fully. It just sat there until we returned and I politely relocated it far from the camera.

Few days after we went on vacation, I got a low disk space warning from my NAS. Found an unexpected explanation after my return: Turns out a spider set up a net in front of the motion triggered camera to record a stream almost 24/7.

This is the #GameBoy Photo Booth for my cousin's wedding. It records from a Game Boy Camera and lets the guests print a souvenir on a Game Boy Printer.

(Yes, another cousin, another photo/video booth.)
