progression of a Pyra forum member:

1. signup, initial enthusiasm for open source gaming/productivity handhelds.
2. get annoyed by some of the sarcasm of the regulars, realize some of them are mods.
3. become similarly sarcastic.
4. realize who ED is.
5. post in many keyboard discussion threads (if applicable) and/or try to be generally helpful/creative
6. you say to yourself you'll never post in absurdism corner.
7. post in absurdism corner and/or bad joke appreciation corner.
8. follow project long enough you can answer as second post in "Ask EvilDragon questions" forum despite that being ED's spot.

Personal opinion of a Pyra forum member :
1. Still valid to date, current estimation superior to initial value.
2. More annoyed by noob questions, realize some of them I could have posted at the time.
3. Me ? Sarcastic ? Never !
4. At first, seeing this cute avatar, I figured ED was a girl...
5. Did not heavily engage in keyboard threads, been more into color polls. More of a viewer than a poster, try to help nonetheless.
6. Never said so, but I might have said I wouldn't read the absurdism/bad joke appreciation corner.
7. Posted in both and on multiple occasions.
8. Sure did. It's been more of a "Ask seniors questions" forum actually. We don't want ED to stay up late to answer these anyway, right ?

I wish I could get that to add to my collection. It could sit next to my chocolate Tux.

Android phone "flagships" (bloat ships more like it) with 6 and 8GB RAM.
Remember in 2008 when the very thought would be absurd!?

Remember when I asked for that for the Pyra? (You might be too new to remember.)

I always wondered how the wavy strings on the harp in this video made by two musicians I sometimes played with came to be:

Now I know.

CCD based camcorders used to be absolutely terrible for rolling shutter, because each line of the image had to be shifted down into the decoder in turn, and that decoding takes time. CMOS works by taking a CCD sensor and adding the decode circuitry to every detector pit in there, so I guess the shutter effect still being there is due to the speed of the electricity in the matrix telling each element to 'snap now', or perhaps they're slightly staggered in order to get the data off there in a sensible order to be processed by the CPU and encoded. Either way, old CCD based footage from cars used to look awful to me - every time the car hit a dip in the road the image would stretch and compress - CMOS based camera don't tend to show that effect nearly as strongly.

Now I know.

Hmm... try this alternative link:

If all else fails, use this link: googleitfor.me

The channel is called "Smarter every day". And it is the "Rolling Shutter" experiment.

I don't get this post.
Do you think the youtube embedding above didn't work?
It worked for me and I found that video informative, that's why I made my post about it. oO

@Klumpen: oops, sorry, did not understand your intent at humor.

Good thing that the Pyra does not show that effect at all... by not having a camera...

Humor? I just stated that now I know why that is (the harp string thingy) thanks to your video.

I have the feeling there's something really basic lost in translation here.
