Anyone with ADHD (not diagnosed but on waiting list): I kinda need you lot's help with browsers. How do you cull the tab hoarding? I use Vivaldi and I keep hoarding tabs and it's getting annoying lol.

gonna tag both browser types for maximum reach.

I ordered some LED's, sockets, 2n2222 transistors and some 12V relays today.

What do you all think of this plan:

USB->UART (buy it)

UART->LOGIC output (build it: see falstad/video)

LOGIC->RELAY (buy it)

POWER- through relay (spare 12v from shucked HDD's)

Automotive/pinball LED T10 bulbs in sockets mounted to PCB or 3D printed structure. (buy it)

My python code sends data out of the serial port if Teams is On a call and sends nothing otherwise.

The circuit turns the LED red when it sees pulses and leaves it red for a second or so. As long as it gets serial data once a second or so the LED stays on. If anything goes wrong it goes off

Would you buy a serial to on/off GPIO output module like this?

I have simmed and soldered and achieved blinky blinky!

Next step. It's not bright enough. Buying a logic level relay and some T10 LED bulbs. I'm going to try some things.

I have an old #Dietz lantern that I was given by my cousin. I'm doing a project to add an on-air light to teams when in a call in Teams. This post is step one.

This has to work without IT permission, so I'm doing it from #chrome using the devtools interface. I'm kinda surprised #Microsoft hasn't tried to block this method.

My colleague also has an on air light, so I'll have two users right off the bat.

I’m trying to move away from #google.

What are your easy to use(!) favorites alternatives?

Currently I’m trying to do it like this:

#chrome -> #firefox (easy one)

Maps -> #openStreatMap (I’m trying this, maps was the most used, service for me … switch will be hard)

#gmail -> ??? (I‘m completely open, I don’t want to set up my own hosting, I’m eying mailbox.org)

fotos -> iCloud (I know it’s Apple, but obviously the poison I take for now)

#drive -> ???

Any suggestions for anything?
Thx!
