    Something new I guess! I got my tablet configured correctly so I can try to play retro games on it and eventually see if I can start streaming them ( or even playing online while streaming )

    Get together with my gf and pretend that everything hasn’t gone to shit for a couple of days. Then on Monday we’ll both have an emotional breakdown as we resume life in this hellscape.

    Try to get as much sleep as possible.
    I have a 1 year old and we’ve all been constantly sick since mid-fall.
    Had the actual flu last week and still feel it.
    Hoping we’re immune to as much shit as possible now.

    What about you, OP?

    I’ve got a cheap ESP8266 controller and WS2821B LED strip which I’m going to connect to a jailbroken LG TV to replace my old Govee TV backlight. I might have already damaged the strip and that ESP8266 might not be compatible with high bandwidth firmware. Fun!

    [edit] I did it! Need to cut it, add corner wiring and tape it to the TV but all technical obstacles are now solved. The chip was fine but it couldn’t negotiate high speed connection without using rather quirky setup, otherwise it’s just crap itself.

      sounds interesting, only thing I know is LED needs direct current, not alternating current … and by pulsing current on/off you can dim the lights? About color I have no clue though.

        I’d be damned if I knew how any of this works on that level because I still need mental capacity to make it connect to my smart home and talk to my 5 other useless gadgets 😅

    Girlfriend and I are going to Vegas again for 3 days (we went last month too). I don’t gamble or drink, but she does and she’s got the money for it, so it’s fun to watch. I like the vibe in Vegas, so people watching is awesome there.
