I have a rack of boxes of cables in my home, its not that out of the ordinary since I'm in the industry and am the network admin for my entire block in my housing community.

The other day I was fabberglased I could not find an HDMI to HDMI cable! HDMI > DVI yes, to VGA yes, to display port yes, to mini-HDMI yes. it was so shameful, for me having to go to amazon/best buy to purchase an HDMI cable is the lowest of the low.

version / phone model differences ?

Motorola Moto G54 5G.

great work - and I dont use patch panels, I think I have 20 cat 6 cables in my house going to my switch and its been doing just fine for 5+ years. you don't really have to for your house. it can def make life easier on you, it is kind of an elitest thing for homes, but a mandatory thing for commercial

oh man <map> and <area> yes kids today just don't know the pain we went through.

this is back when every single byte mattered and saving a few MB was the difference between a good user experience and a bad one.

for those that never used this, you would do something like

<img src="funnycats.jpg" usemap="#funnycats-map">

<!-- the map defines clickable zones --> <map name="funnycats-map"> <shape="rect" coords="34,44,270,350" href="cats.html"> </map>

most ppl used something like Dreamweaver but bad-asses would do their own coordinates.

The only time I ever needed dreamweaver: I found an open source imagemap of the US states and I needed to scale it to match my background image of the US provided by an art director. Dreamweaver let me see all the <area>s easily. Maybe there was another way to do it. Fun fact: the art director wanted states to grow on hover, but acquiesced to having them change color when I pointed out how impossible it would be to click on Rhode Island if you'd hovered Massachusetts first. I don't even know how I would have done the grow effect, tbh.

My web dev experience began right before ES6, when browsers still did not do parallel asset loads and so spritesheets were common

Why could you not have defined elements overlayed using high z index that were clickable, like invisible divs?

Server side image maps predate javascript. They were in early versions of Mosaic.

Client side image maps and the script element were (AFAICT) both introduced in Netscape 2.

Even when scripting was introduced, you didn't necessarily have the ability to move elements around freely on the page. I think (but I'm not certain) that it wasn't until Netscape 4 era that you had enough layout primitives to implement the multi-layer positioning approach to custom clickable areas.

With plain HTML you could have done this, though?

  <div class="image-map">
    <img src="funnycats.jpg">
    <a
      href="cats.html"
      style="position:absolute; background: transparent; left: 8.5%; top: 12.5%; width: 59%; height: 87%;"
    ></a>
  </div>

But only square hit targets then (until clip paths much later). Image maps supported polygons and circles. And position absolute is still a few years after image maps.

It wasn't just the use of absolute positioning that wouldn't have worked. CSS didn't even exist yet.

Ahh that makes a lot of sense -- thanks!

faster than gzip now or still slower? (sorry I did not read readme)

really? this is pureply Claude slop design from a mile away.

my first thought when I got api error on claude code was...time to update my grok cli acct

that is so fun! I live in a huge building with a wall that would be perfect for this. what kind of hardware do you run?

I dont have a laser pointer, will a laser thermometer work?
