Great find!!

Less of a find and more of a " If I want to sleep, I’ve got to move all this junk off the spare bed."

I doubt many people are going to check the forum on Christmas.

You underestimate the millennial in me.

Story time!!

You know those sci-fi holograms?

That’s exactly what those two CEOs came up with… And the system had to be able to fill a stadium, and have motion tracking cameras so that it could be used to play soccer, volleyball, tennis, etc… With holographic balls, nets, rackets, etc…

For some reason, they where convinced that real world projectors could magically make light scatter in mid air and they wanted to find someone willing to write the software for this mess… This was almost 20 years ago and I’m still amazed that there are people in this world who don’t understand how light works.

We get these crazy ass requests all the time. Our company used to run an entire division on the tech side of the requests while another division managed the larger scale ones, like the entire logistics behind the idea, “what if the field of dreams was a real baseball game”. Or “let’s do a drone American flag display for the Superbowl”

On the techy side, “What if my Golf club could make me a better golfer”

Which is all great but we ran projects with 60 day turns from inception to delivery. Very glad I’m no longer part of those teams

That’s what my original post was about. But that particular project stands out for it’s craziness.

To be fair, there are aspects of light even the best scientists still don’t fully understand

True, but thats not what I meant when I wrote that…

True, and I knew that when I wrote that I’m just a lil stinker.

How to share NFC chip data via TagInfo app

TagInfo is an app made by a chip manufacturing company called NXP. It does a decent job of determining the type of chip it’s talking to and fully scanning any accessible memory into a scan report. It also makes sharing information gathered easy, which makes diagnosing problems or answering questions about specific NFC tags one might have much more efficient.

Actually that’s a lot of turns of wire. My bet is an LF card.
