Rotate 1.1 Available

-
Rotate 1.1 is a minor update, but it addresses the number one request: allow the T3's voice recorder button to rotate the screen. You can download it here:

Enjoy!

Hi Michael, Rotate is a useful programme. Would you be able to add the ability to show/hide the Grafitti input the same way as rotating the screen? Thanks

I think it can be done, at least for applications that are aware of the virtual graffiti area. I'll add to my todo list. This, of course, would take over another button.

I just had a thought. Would it work for you if I would (try to) collapse the grafitti area each time you rotate?

Integer Overflow And Underflow

Q: When is optimization sub-optimal?  A: When it creates an Android bug that crashes your phone during a call to 911. Details of the bug can be found in Ars Technica , but I want to focus on the integer overflow/underflow that caused the crash: return account1.hashCode() - account2.hashCode(); Nevermind the variable names and the invocation of hashCode() . The problem is subtracting without looking, and returning a number that might be too large or too negative for the program to handle. Google corrected the code by using the Java compare() method: return Integer.compare(account1.hashCode(), account2.hashCode()); which limits the return values to -1, 0, or 1, indicating account1 is less than, equal to, or greater than account2, respectively. This raises two questions: "Why did the original code use subtraction?" and "Wasn't this tested?" Addressing the first question, I've seen overflows and underflows before, and even wrote about them in Space, Time, and I

I’m Not The Person YouTube Thinks I Am

  Based on YouTube ads, Google classifies me as an overweight young adult who likes video games but struggles with arthritis. Clearly, Google has me confused with someone else, which is both amusing and a relief. Back in November 2020, I ran a little experiment where I enabled ad personalization for a period of 3 months. I was feeling a little... um...  Grouchy about privacy, and wanted to see if targeted ads hit or miss their Marx . Ads that pegged me as a college student or young adult included Grammarly , Dr. Squatch Soap , and video games. Admittedly, I watched most of the video game ads in their entirety, and by doing so, I likely misled the algorithm to my alleged youthfulness. But then there were ads I found intellectually insulting and wished I could block. They were from Prager U and The Epoch Times, and they would present news and commentary on politics, family, and climate change in a facile and seductive manner, rather than in a thoughtful and sincere way.  Even when I ski

Raspberry Pi BogoMIPS Is Dynamic!

"Raspberry Pi BogoMIPS is dynamic!" is something I imagine SpongeBob might say. Here he is, atop a Lego enclosure, and in the role of sysadmin for my Raspberry Pi Model B (circa 2011).  The term BogoMIPS means "bogus millions of instructions per second," and provides a rough speed rating of a Linux system compared to an early model IBM PC. You can determine your BogoMIPS with the following command: $ grep Bogo /proc/cpuinf o The early versions of Raspberry Pi calculated BogoMIPS once at boot time, and mine showed 2.00, which I took to mean it ran twice as fast the reference PC.  Later versions of Raspberry Pi showed the actual cpu frequency: 697.95 (700 MHz was the rated frequency). With recent versions of Raspian -- Buster and the just released  Bullseye -- I discovered, to my delight, that BogoMIPS was calculated dynamically based on the cpu load.  I tested using the Raspberry Pi 400 , which has 4 cores.  At rest, the Pi produced these values: BogoMIPS : 108.0
