The receiver has dozens of tunes, but the only one worth using is the Westminster Chime Melody. There's also a "ding-dong ding-dong", but it's annoying that it plays twice. The rest are just too long; it's a doorbell, not a jukebox.
The receiver remembers the tune and volume if power is interrupted, so that extra cruft doesn't matter after initial setup.
I love this! Sometimes I daydream about a device that works kind of like an old printing press. You can arrange letter tiles to create a message. Then, you power the thing by pumping a lever or something, and it constructs a digital signal from the letters and sends it over something like LoRaWAN.
Micro Men! Great little TV movie, and really interesting story of the rivalry between UK golden-age home computing giants Sinclair and Acorn (Acorn being the company behind the BBC micro, and also originally the "A" in "ARM").
They use a new nanocomposite material, which combines graphene oxide flakes with upconverted nanoparticles (UCNPs) to achieve an unprecedented data density.
Maybe that too, we will never know it. Or maybe you just can write good crypto if your on LSD, just look at the best OS and where it was ~developed...Berkeley :)
The amount of advertising (every single youtube video for the last 3 months), and lack of any excitement amoung gamers, hardcore or casual, does seem damning.
