  3. Found in my Calishat Snaps: YES WE SCAN. “Got an old USB scanner your computer can’t talk to? This web app is for you. … How it works. Your web browser emulates a whole PC running Linux with open-source scanning software (SANE). It connects that to your scanner via WebUSB.” George MacKerron, who created this site, made a similar one for using old printers called Printervention.

  10. "Last week Heathrow completed a massive security upgrade that allows travelers to keep their electronics in their bags and to carry liquids in containers with a volume of up to two liters, far more than the long standard limit of 100 milliliters. Thank technology: better imaging and software have pushed checkpoints from two-dimensional x-rays to computed tomography (CT) scanners that build a three-dimensional model of your bag."

  12. Lifehacker: Microsoft Is Finally Retiring Its Free Scanner App (but There Are Alternatives). “Keen observers have known about this since August, when Microsoft first announced that Lens would be retired in September and removed from app stores in November. That obviously didn’t happen, as the company adjusted the deadline to Dec. 15, which also came and went. Microsoft kicked the retirement can […]

  14. It's my turn behind the counter of the #VideoStore Podcast, where I'm talking about 4 of the films that helped to give #StrangerThings season 1 some of its aesthetics and thematic ideas. Fun fact: this is a very light version of my Master's thesis! #ET #Scanners #ANightmareOnElmStreet #nerdlyfe videostorepodcast.com/p/things

  15. Ich überfliege das Forum eines #Vulnerability #Scanners.

    Ein Nutzer beschwert sich, dass seine Firewall seine Scans immer blockt und er nicht zu seiner Applikation durchkommt.
    Das liegt seiner Meinung nach an ein paar URLs die aufgerufen werden.

    Und ich denk mir so: Junge, du scannst effektiv primär deine Firewall und nicht die Applikation und beschwerst dich über ein paar geblockte URLs.

    Ich würde eher sagen - je mehr, desto besser. Aber was weiß ich schon.
    Sorry, musste iwo mal raus.

  16. Mastodon has been pretty good to me so far, so I'll put out this call for help. Does anyone have advice/tips/tools for getting the scanner part of an Epson CX5700f multifunction printer working with Linux? #askmastodon #linux #scanners

  19. To get ancient scanner working with my M4 MacBook Air:
    brew install sane-backends
    install NAPS2.app (signed binary! 😱 )

    Can't do Preview > File > Import from Scanner, but NAPS2 appears to work just fine.

  23. @SonofaGeorge @ZenHeathen @northernlights @CStamp @pinhman @gemelliz PS: Another reason not to use #ballot #scanners is the massive cost of transporting them to the many fly-in communities we have in Canada. And then bringing them back. As you always need a backup, that means at least two machines per community. Wasteful.

    Keep in mind: federal #elections are simple but huge. 1 choice per #ballot. Easy & quick to count. But over 340 parallel elections. Candidate representatives & individual voters can watch the count. An open process.

    Municipal elections usually have many choices per ballot. Those are complex, but small elections. Fewer scanners you may rent, fewer staff to train, but lots of choices to count.

    #scanners don't scale well.

  27. @SonofaGeorge @ZenHeathen @northernlights @CStamp @pinhman @gemelliz #Ballot #scanners are expensive. You'd have to buy tens of thousands of them, ship them, train staff how to use, provide redundant electricity, handle the data storage afterwards (or provide and secure data connections), ship them back to warehouses where they would then sit for years, rinse repeat. All the while protecting them against tampering both in the field, during transport, during storage.

    An insane undertaking.

  28. @SonofaGeorge @ZenHeathen @northernlights @CStamp @pinhman @gemelliz Doug, the feds have noticed #ballot scanners. They are not good.

    They are s l o w. I've worked an election (CRD, BC) where voters had to go to the machine, ballot in hand. That created the longest lineup in any election I have ever seen. After making their choice, Viet had to wait in line over 90 minutes. There were several scanners, but they are finnicky. Some voters had used their own pens - doesn't work.

  29. David Cronenberg’s Scanners gets a Dual Limited Edition release from Second Sight Films. Details here bit.ly/4jlo1hK

  30. Started Scanners today as I realized recently I haven't seen it-- one of the few (David, now that his kids make flicks) Cronenberg things I haven't seen. So good. Only about a third or a fourth of the way through, psyched to finish. That head exploding scene, and Michael Ironside, too. Wild stuff
