Ireland have been in a slump. Let's hope this is the end of it.

I'm guessing, that you've one main light, lighting the scene. That might be why the flashes are happening. Multiple soft lights should mitigate that.

Ireland ripped England apart today. What a game.

ENG 21 - 42 IRE

Beautiful beating England at home.

Very basic example in 3D.

Bounce cards are just white surfaces. They just bounce light back on to the scene. It's nice and soft.

For an example. Turn off all lights in a room, turn on a flashlight. Point it at the ceiling above your head. You get the same kind of effect. The room is slightly & softly illuminated.

Multiple lights, lower intensity might help.

Have maybe two soft box lights left and right. With a key light behind/below the camera.

A bounce card above might help too.

Difficult to say from just that video, but have a play around.

Waveshare are cool, they supply the 3D models of their products.

Just playing with modelling the monitor. Very rough. But I have the perfect filament when I finally 3D print this.

I love this display. So many I was looking at before, had their ports right on the edge, which would mean extreme cable bending. But the board for this is nice and in the center.

Now I'm thinking I want to stick my old 980 GPU in the "case" (it's small enough), and maybe create a miniature function keyboard.

I got some speakers and a mic that will work with them. So maybe I could use it as my own LLM.

Everything is up in the air now.

Any suggestions?

I was planning to build a scaled down 90s PC to sit on top of my current modern PC.

I was originally thinking I'd stick a R Pi 5 or Arduino R4 and have it as a nice toy to play with.

I sourced a 4:3 8" 10 Point captive touch display with HDMI and USB-C.

The amount of spelling and grammar mistakes you folks publish is disgusting.

You're meant to be our national broadcaster.

Is there any wonder why people hate you so much? You do the bare minimum. And even then you get it wrong.

Well done, America. You're such a fucked country.

Why would anyone even want to legally or otherwise live there?

Disgusting.

Things stepping up.

ICCL and Digital Rights Ireland have written to the Garda Commissioner calling for an urgent investigation of X.

Hard to read scale. But, reducing the outer layers by one, and reducing the infill would of course help.

Also, while expensive, and not for this use. Carbon fiber PETG is lighter than PETG, for example.

Would love to see the solution you come up with regardless.

Hit me up if you need any input

Also, I'm thinking. depending on the print, can you work in some way to clamp things together?

With TPU under pressure, it creates a perfect seal.
