I used a website to calculate that for me because I’m an idiot and it all seems like magic to me.

210 billion is not substantially smaller than 250 billion. Are you intentionally trying to miss the point?

Relative magnitude, really? You’re undermining your own point by not using a representative example and then calling your example a relative magnitude to the others.

210 billion to 250 billion = ~19% increase

75,000 to a million = ~12,000% increase

Nanometer to micrometer = ~99,000% increase

Nanometer to 5 millimeters = ~499,999,900% increase

Did you really just compare the difference between 210 billion and 250 billion to the difference between 14,000 to 75,000 vs millions and one micrometer to five millimeters vs nanometers?

They already do this to flag potential traffickers. I’m not sure what we want has anything to do with what happens.

I really appreciate you taking the time to provide the additional details. These kinds of bread crumbs help me a great deal in knowing where to look to continue learning from others and really helps to feed my enjoyment and continued education.

Oh ok, thank you. I thought it was specific hardware which I think got my search focused around Star Trek display replicas.

I do see this is the same thing I read about and watched a video of but it is in English, I’m not sure why I had trouble finding something in English, anyway, I can’t wait to try getting this implemented. I really appreciate you sharing.

Do you have a good source in English? I’m looking for some nice panel solutions but what I found so far is a guy that did a complete EIB install with touch screen and is in German. I’d really like better touchscreen HUD access to my home assistant and haven’t made much progress from the information I’ve found myself.

Haha, you did a really good job explaining how incredibly unnerving that would be. Just staring off a cliff of pain while somebody actively pushes you infinitely further off the ledge with no control over your own fate.

Edit: even the guy on the website looks like he’s questioning his decision to get strapped in for the picture
