Today I had to give two different presentations in two entirely different places, neither of which had an #HDMI connection, which is the only #video output I have on my #laptop. Both still had #VGA, which is pretty ancient these days. Luckily, a few years ago, I bought an HMDI-to-VGA #adaptor but initially I had difficulty with using it, perhaps because of lack of full support in #KDE. Colours were sometimes different or flashed or gave some odd artefacts on the projected image. Happily, now things have been sorted out and everything worked really well. I was also using an extra #touchscreen and an #HDMI duplicator to send the signal to two outputs at once. Thanks to all the #FreeSoftware hackers who made this possible.

front. [Luis] attached the screen to a GoPro chest harness—they look a bit
like suspenders—to keep it centered, then built up a layer of latex around the
display to … Read more
