The Internet Times

Hope you read the previous part of the departure board.  Else check the pictures. ;)   --  So I think that the departure board was OKAY, and I kept there. But the reality was that it also needed to be improved a lot.   Energy consumption, component quality stress, fragility, versatility, UTILITY.   I must highlight again that I have "recovered" this screen from a laptop, then I bought a frame kit from Aliexpress. I remember that the frame was really expensive but was precise. It offered a very tiny room for the Raspberry, which I thought it could actually burn the display, but that didn't happened. The display can support a lot of heat apparently. The deployment started to be really important, since every iteration you could emulate sure, but then eventually it must be added to the device like several times per minute. I have created few scripts for versatility. I have found problems with the browser. At the begging I was using chromium, which opened with an...

Thinking on music playback experiences, I always would have love to have Kazaa, iMesh or Ares to be more like this; where is also the default player. I think that since the download was not required anymore on the obscure era of the streaming services, we as user lost the sense of having the required structure. Also we lost our span attention making me wonder...  Who are the ones really using those IRC channels on Ares? hahaaha Anyway this week I've been doing a research called NicotineD. It's a mix with Nicotine and Navidrome where the integration should be great to get the simplicity of the streaming service, the database of a well stablished global network, the privacy and discretionality of self hosted. I'm trying to understand what this user might want, how to present the results, how to deal with integrations and make it as zero click as possible.

Today I want to take a look back at where we were just a decade ago.   I’ve recently dug into my personal archive of notes —the actual scripts and research I prepared before every single broadcast at Radio Trelew Noticias . If you look at the metadata and filenames, you’ll see the timeline of a world in transition: from the screeching sounds of dial-up modems to the birth of the "phablet" .   To give you a better feel for the atmosphere at the station, check out this video of us in action at the studio . Sitting at that table with Meirion and Romina , we tackled the "future" every week. Here is what we were talking about:   1. The TDA Revolution & The End of 3D We spent a lot of time explaining Televisión Digital Abierta (TDA) . It was a massive social plan for Argentina, using the ISDB-T (Japanese-Brazilian) standard to bring high-definition, free-to-air signals to everyone . We helped listeners understand that they didn't need a new TV—just a decoder . Ir...
