I had a project due for school which required for me to screenshot about 200 screens.Using Window's snipping tool was a nightmare. I came across this website and found "Screenshot Captor". All the options available with this program brought a smile to my face. I was able to get everything done with such ease! Donationcoder.com, you made my day. Thank you!!Omar

How to boot up an old PDP-11 computer from the 1970sFun picture guide on how to boot up an old PDP-11 computer from the 1970s:
So you want to play Adventure, but don't know how to turn on the PDP-11? These instructions are for booting our dual rack machine from its RL01 drives, although booting the single cabinet machine from the RK05 is very similar. https://trmm.net/PDP-11/Booting/ |

Nuclear missile silo keyboard repurposed for usbGothic (John), a programmer and electronics savant, who used to handle server administrator for DonationCoder, had a project featured on Hackaday.com today. Very cool stuff. He found a weird old keyboard (with trackball) on ebay and it turned out to come from a nuclear missile silo. After some work with an Arudino board he got it talking to USB interface. Very cool. https://hackaday.com...-re-launched-in-usb/ |

A decade and a half of instability: The history of Google messaging appsNice long essay on ArsTechnica Google Talk, Google's first-ever instant messaging platform, launched on August 24, 2005. This company has been in the messaging business for 16 years, meaning Google has been making messaging clients for longer than some of its rivals have existed. But thanks to a decade and a half of nearly constant strategy changes, competing product launches, and internal sabotage, you can't say Google has a dominant or even stable instant messaging platform today. https://arstechnica....ogle-messaging-apps/[ |

I bought an Oculus Quest and I'm blown away by the current state of VRSo I bought an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset ($300 amazon). I was just blown away by the experience. Both the quality of the experience inside the VR world, and also how painless the whole process is. It's a standalone device, no need for cables to a computer (essentially powered by a phone-grade android cpu). I have not been keeping up with the progress in VR technology. I'm still in shock how cool the experience is. I think we are going to see mass adoption of this stuff in the coming years. As someone who is not really a video gamer and is mostly a board gamer, I really do think this is all going to change with VR. Very cool stuff. https://www.oculus.c...m/experiences/quest/ (I've decided to try some tinkering with coding for it using Unity). |
