got myself a Casio CFX-9850GB Plus from eBay for just 6€ a while ago. I initially wanted to just take macro shots of its display as it also is a STN LCD. However since this thing was on my desk and is just a generally nice calculator, I have been using it as.. a calculator.. ‘:D it’s quite nice to use something with dedicated hardware buttons for all the functions you could ever need instead of using my computer, love this calculator

A slightly angled photo of a calculators matrix display. It has many symbols that might be part of an options list. They are coloured in blue, green and orange Closeup of one of the symbols with a blue green frame and red orange graph lines

have you ever considered multi-colour STN-Displays? They look fantastic and make for great macro shots!

If I’m not fully mistaken this is a so called CCSTN display that doesn’t use a filter to colour the pixels, but rather an optical effect called birefringence. This display does not dim when a different voltages are applied across its pixels, but change colour! So cool and such weird tones :3

Depending on the camera and light angles used, the colours and contrast fully change

The number 42 written in a pixelated font on an emerald green grid with pink grid lines and deep blue activated pixels. There is a shine to the image Three rectangles next to each other, one is blue, the other pale green and the third is pink. They rest on a yellow-sand coloured grid with an interesting texture. A pink bar enters the image in the bottom right corner

서울 지역에 폭설이 내린 4일 밤 교통 전문 방송인 TBS 라디오에선 교통이 마비된 시내 상황 대신 계속 대중가요와 팝송 같은 음악만 흘러나왔습니다. 서울시가 지원을 끊은 뒤부턴 이러한 풍경이 계속되고 있습니다.

폭설 내리던 4일 밤, TBS는 왜 교통상황을 전하지 못했나

서울 지역에 폭설이 내린 4일 밤 교통 전문 방송인 티비에스(TBS) 에프엠 라디오(95.1㎒)에선 교통이 마비된 시내 상황 대신 계속 대중가요와 팝송 같은 음악만 흘러나왔다. 오후 8시까진 그나마 1시간마다 1분짜리 시내 교통 상황을 전하는 간단한 리포트

I think I finally managed to find a solution for the cable mess created by the five different antennas (WLAN, Bluetooth, 2xLTE, GNSS) in my Pocket Reform. Instead of pasting the antennas to the lid, I created a thin sheet of acrylic which I can then stick the antennas to. That way, opening up the Pocket Reform display plate will no longer mess with the cabling. SVG to reproduce this mod can be found in this forum post: community.mnt.re/t/cable-manag

A purple MNT Pocket Reform with the display backplate removed on a gray sofa cushion. Inside there is the RK3588 processor module on a purple carrier board. A transparent sheet of acrylic creates a frame which snugly follows the shape of the aluminium case and onto which several black antennas are pasted with yellow/golden kapton tape. Next to the Pocket Reform is a black/green screwdriver with TX6 head.

Ich vermute, dass es zu viele in der EU gibt—und da zählt die mit ihrem rassistischen, Faschismus-affinen und Demokratie-phoben Personal Merz Spahn, Dobrindt, Klöckner, Söder etc ebenso dazu wie die öffentichen Putin-Hinternküsser Orban, Fico et al—die das alles ganz dufte finden, was an Rassismus, Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Faschismus kommt und das bereits einfädeln. Zwischen die passt doch kein Blatt Papier.
