I occasionally use mouse keys, but they're not good for rapid movements. I've always thought that I'd like eye tracking to quickly move my cursor. A few years ago, I bought a cheap Tobii Eye Tracker 5 on eBay. I assumed there would be a Linux driver for this, it's the 2020s! The future is not evenly distributed.
The device has two parts: an IR camera for head pose detection, and a built-in "EyeChip" which detects eyes and predicts where you're looking.
I've finally got both reverse engineered!
NEW: A Queensland software engineer has been in a four-and-a-half year long battle with Services Australia to get a look at a MyGov app's source code.
He says we should be able to scrutinise it to make sure it's secure. Services Australia says it's a national security risk.

I'm going to try the threaded rod trick: https://github.com/imiev-battery-upgrade/imiev-battery-upgrade/blob/main/pack_removal.md
But I'm not sure why the instructions say to raise the vehicle before dropping the battery. The distance between the battery and my dollies is only 7cm. Surely I can get the battery onto the dollies, THEN raise the car to give clearance to roll the battery out. Much quicker and safer.
