Just got a bunch of stuff delivered to build my own hyperhdr tv backlight. Its a relatively small project, but im hoping itll have a huge impact on my viewing experience 😊
Ooo is there a guide you are following for this? I tried setting this up a few years back during covid and never could get it working right. I still think it was faulty hardware but I went through at least a half-dozen grabbers.
Yeah, there is a guide for the raspberry raspberrypi.com/…/raspberry-pi-tv-ambient-lightin…I donk know if hyperhdr would run on weaker, more readily available hardware than the pi 3. ive seen some YouTuber (dont remember who) use Hyperion with a Pico, but here was noticable delay. Since hyperhdr is a more optimised fork of hyperion intended for 4k content, the pico may be able to to run hyperhdr for 1080p content, but im not willing to take that risk. Also check what kind of power supplies you can even get. 5v 15a power supplies apparently don’t exist in Germany, so i had to use 30 led/meter strips instead of 60
Awesome, thanks! I may dive back into this project again since I would still really like to do it. I think I actually have a spare Pi 4 around here somewhere that I got for my 3d printers but ended up swapping that to a thin client. Appreciate it!
The new mantle I’ve been working on is finally ready to install! So, we’ll be mounting it this weekend, along with the TV (yes, “tv too high” but we don’t have an option). So excited to finally have this done!
Making progress on linen shorts. The belt fits, despite some unfortunate inaccuracies while attaching the waistband. Button hole and button are next. Or hemming…
Trying to repair a spice grinder. After swearing a bunch and cutting up my fingers I gave up putting the original switch and safety lock and decided to cannibalize a new switch from a space heater that isn’t a POS.
I just put up an awning over our back deck. Now it’s time for modifications. I’m going to adjust how the straps connect for the fabric so it’s tighter and water runs off better. then I’m going to seam seal and put on some waterproofing spray.
After that, my daughter and I are building a padded bench for a window nook in her room. The design and measurements are done. Fabric and foam have been purchased. Actual work completed: zero.
So dumb they made them national heroes to a vast section of the country and failed to keep them out of the state house as well and after the election there may be more dems in the state house as well
Both expelled members of ‘Tennessee Three’ win back their state House seats

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Reps. Justin Pearson and Justin Jones, who became Democratic heroes as members of the “Tennessee Three,” reclaimed their legislative seats Thursday after they were expelled for involvement in a gun control protest on the House floor.
The young Black lawmakers were reinstated by local officials after being booted from the GOP-dominated Statehouse, but only on an interim basis. They advanced Thursday through a special election to fully reclaim their positions. Both faced opponents in districts that heavily favor Democrats.
Jones, who lives in Nashville, was up against Republican candidate Laura Nelson. Meanwhile, Pearson, from Memphis, faced independent candidate Jeff Johnston.
“Let’s send a clear message to everyone who thought they could silence the voice of District 86,” Pearson tweeted earlier this month. “You can’t expel a movement!”
Thursday’s election came as lawmakers are preparing to return to Nashville later this month for a special session to address possibly changing the state’s gun control laws. While Jones and Pearson’s reelection to their old posts won’t make a significant dent to the Republican supermajority inside the Legislature, they are expected to push back heavily against some of their GOP colleagues’ policies.
Jones and Pearson were elected to the Statehouse last year. Both lawmakers flew relatively under the radar, even as they criticized their Republican colleagues’ policies. It wasn’t until this spring that their political careers received a boost when they joined fellow Democrat Rep. Gloria Johnson in a protest for more gun control on the House floor.
The demonstration took place just days after a fatal shooting in Nashville at a private Christian school where a shooter killed three children and three adults. As thousands of protesters flooded the Capitol building to demand that the Republican supermajority enact some sort of restrictions on firearms, the three lawmakers approached the front of the House chamber with a bullhorn, and joined the protesters’ chants and cries for action.
Republican lawmakers quickly declared that their actions violated House rules and moved to expel their three colleagues — an extraordinary move that’s been taken only a handful of times since the Civil War.
The move briefly left about 140,000 voters in primarily Black districts in Nashville and Memphis with no representation in the Tennessee House.
Ultimately, Johnson, who is white, narrowly avoided expulsion while Pearson and Jones were booted by the predominantly white GOP caucus.
House Republican leaders have repeatedly denied that race was a factor in the expulsion hearings. Democrats have disagreed, with Johnson countering that the only reason that she wasn’t expelled was due to her being white.
The expulsions drew national support for the newly dubbed “Tennessee Three,” especially for Pearson and Jones’ campaign fundraising. The two raised more than $2 million combined through about 70,400 campaign donations from across the country. The amount is well beyond the norm for Tennessee’s Republican legislative leaders and virtually unheard of for two freshman Democrats in a superminority.
Meanwhile, more than 15 Republican lawmakers had funneled cash to fund campaign efforts of Jones’ Republican opponent, Nelson. Nelson has raised more than $34,000 for the race. Pearson’s opponent, Johnston, raised less than $400 for the contest.
I noticed this as well, made me focus on writing properly rather than ball pen chicken scratches. The problem is it is really easy to get more and fancy inks 😂.
There are two possible reasons (probably more) that the pen may actually be helping your handwriting here:
You're probably putting less pressure onto the page, which means that you're not fighting against that friction every time you need to change direction.
Your pen seems to lay down a pretty thick line - that's something that can often make the imperfections in one's handwriting less visible. (That's not intended as a dig at your handwriting, in fact it can be a useful thing to keep in mind if you're writing something like a birthday card where you get one shot at making it look good).
