How huge is the latency? It's using Elk Audio OS, claiming 1ms roundtrip. I doubt this usage gets that low but I wouldn't be surprised if it was doing alright
Xiaomi has hit 480hz touch sampling with the Mi 11. It looks possible in hardware and in software, someone just has to manage to perfect both in the same phone
One nice thing is that in brewing it can be used to generate heat for boiling during brewing rather than converting to electricity first. They mention a furnace but not a generator. 81% of Dutch power is fossil fuel based, if you have an environmental concern about that and it's good press why not.
I've been really happy with it. They haven't implemented any restrictions around exporting from Spotify yet. Might be helpful if you'd like to jump ship
Hm right. I am fairly sure it was on the homepage. It's still inside the app and I managed to do a transfer out no worries. I would guess they are in the process of removing it?

The rather shallow angle probably helps a lot. On top of that the camera probably has some form of auto white balance which will counteract the tint the CD will give to the image.
Note that the color of the reflection is not much different from a normal picture (visible at the bottom). For added difficulty I used an original PlayStation disc, that's dyed black: https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20200914-000836_psx-cd.jpeg
I think at such shallow angles it's the plastic surface that becomes reflective, not the metal layer with the pits and grooves. Hence the lack of diffraction (and hence why it works with my black PSX disc).
Everything reflects light, but not everything reflects it clear enough to read documents through. I haven't held a CD in ages, so it it's possible that folks don't remember exactly how reflective they are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nintendo back in 2001 came out with the e-Reader that would plug into a Gameboy Advance and read cards with data printed on them. You'd have to scan a few "stripes" of data, but it there were several NES games that you could run if you had the right cards. The cards held the data for the games, rather than them being already on the cartridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_e-Reader
