#dm42 — Public Fediverse posts

Made a little video with a speed comparison between the (old) #DM42 running the #C47 firmware and the new #R47 hardware #calculator from #SwissMicros. 👉 https://youtu.be/BZqVe10dhRc?si=PJIPC-fijwFeF_UL – The R47 (which is, in fact, a DM42n hardware under the hood) is pretty much exactly three times faster – at least in this little, single use case of #primefactorization. #math

Did you know that you can actually upgrade your #DM42 #calculator’s #Free42 version? #SwissMicros hasn‘t updated Thomas Okken‘s awesome #HP42S simulator that runs on their DM42 hardware, it‘s still on version 3.0.15 and was last updated in October 2022.
The current Free42 version is 3.1.8, dated 2024-04-24. And guess what: GitHub user Regis Verpillot accepted the challenge to bring this latest version to the DM42 hardware! 🎉🍾🥳💃🕺 👉 https://github.com/rverpillot/free42

Often I wonder why people have vintage photo #cameras as a part of their #edc
Then I realized that I’m carrying a #calculator almost everywhere I go.

A hands-on look at the SwissMicros DM42, the world’s most precise pocket calculator

I know I have posted a month back about this calculator, but this video unboxing and test, is really entertaining to watch (as testified by the over 430k views so far). It just makes me want to have one, although I really don't have a need for it (I have an HP41CV if I really need one).

The DM42 is a clone and improvement of the famous HP42S, with open source firmware based on the Free42 platform. SwissMicros has done an excellent job though on the build and presentation. It is also an excellent example of how repairability should be done.

The #DM42 adventures continue!

This time I wrote a saving roll program for Tunnels & Trolls. It calculates your target number based on the level of the saving roll & your attribute score. Then it rolls taking into account DARO and a certain sense of drama, telling you what you rolled, if you succeed or not, and how many AP you earned.

I'm pretty happy about it.

Thanks to mathsian over on Twitter, I learned some new maths! https://twitter.com/mathsian/status/964448671541678081

I programmed my DM42 to take random walks around some polygons and got some gorgeous results.

The Seirpinski triangle I knew was going to happen, but it was still magical watching it melt into existence. The snowflake/he thing I discovered by just messing with how many corners there were and where they were positioned.
