If one of you nerds in northern Germany or maybe southern Denmark wants a HUGE touchscreen for 300 bucks, there's a working Samsung SUR40 (aka Microsoft Pixelsense) for sale in Lower Saxony: https://www.ebay.de/itm/158218959099
Hit me up if you want to install Linux, I wrote the kernel driver for the touchscreen together with @mkalten 😁
(beware: pickup only, it's 37 kg and nearly impossible to carry alone, I know this from firsthand experience 😖)
You should target the dungeon and dragons playing folks on Mastodon. A DM would love to have such a screen.
@inawhilecrocodile absolutely, my students had the same idea a couple of years ago: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=sZssYagAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=sZssYagAAAAJ:1sJd4Hv_s6UC
Sadly, this never went anywhere further, project-wise 🤷
lol
I should check one day where that one at my office went. One of those absurdly shitty micro-hype things that went away before anyone ever heard of them.
Bet they have it still in some storage somewhere!
@dat don't throw it out - the Samsung panel is a very unique piece of hardware, they actually had a dedicated LCD fabrication line only for this model. And with Linux, it's still quite useable.
yeah… if I had any control over that, I probably would play around with it.
But it's not even my department that has that thing.
@dat keep an eye on the dumpster 😉
