🖨️ Little progress: I generated a dot matrix printer with GPT Image 2 and then some Photopea'ing to make the paper go through And I got COM1 to work for dial up internet to (my ISP) while COM2 still works for the printer (that was a challenge) Which means... show more

🖨️ Got printing working on pieter (dot) com I can now print from Windows 3.11 (in 1994) to my IRL printer (in 2025) It still prints out a lot of PostScript garbage but it works Here's Hacker News live today printed via gopher:// via its dial up modem on pieter (dot) com Next would be cool to have a virtual printer on the site everyone can print to but as always I have no clue how, I guess we need to emulate a LPT1 printer port with WebSockets like we do with the COM1 port for the dial up modem

🖨️ It took over a year and lots of help from Claude Code but I have now been able to create a real dot matrix printer on the web that prints from Windows 3.11 in your browser: Here's the test page: I couldn't get the LPT1 port to work but COM2 did work (the dial up model already uses COM1), the JS receives the COM2 serial data (just raw print data) and then prints it Next is to make the dot matrix printer better looking (kinda 3d like on pieter dot com) and have the paper also flowing in 3d out of the printer and integrate it on the page My idea was that it might work because we also capture the COM1 data (from the dial up modem) and send it to a Websocket as a dial up connection, so we should be able to capture the COM2 traffic too but I didn't know how, but now I do IT WORKS!! 😊

🖨️ Next in the printing saga: I installed Print Shop Deluxe 2.0 from 1994 It lets you print these giant banners, I vaguely remember doing this too And it works with our web-based matrix printer! You can try it on make sure you select the vertical ones, as I didn't get the horizontal printing to work (yet)

🖨️🖼️ Big progress: it can now print images too I had to install a different printer driver, Claude Code recommended Epson FX-86e which supported images Then I printed an image, it helped me dump a .bin from the printer raw data output, then it decoded the .bin and figured out how to draw images on a canvas (in the printer) from that data So crazy I'd have no clue how to do this without AI ever!

Every time you print from a color printer, hundreds of yellow dots are embedded into the page. Everything you’ve ever printed can be traced right back to the printer with metadata. Is this surveillance or a useful tool for law enforcement?

American bought a brand new printer. She bought the ink for the printer, she bought the paper for the printer, now she’s at home and is ready to print She can’t print “They remotely shut off my printer until I paid $7.50 cents to print in my own home, to print on my printer, that I own in my home” This is the new $7.50 subscription plan by HP Printers Here’s how the plans work HP’s Instant Ink and newer All-in Plan programs are subscription services options: - You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not ink used). - Plans start low, from $1.79–$7.99 per month for 10–100 pages - $7–$8 per month plans are for around 100 pages If your payment fails. HP will remotely shutoff your printer

Round 2 of my Item Printer seed dumps... I updated my page with a lot of combo seeds! The idea: You print 1 item to trigger a bonus from regular mode. If the item matches what's expected, you can immediately print more items! 2691258789, 2055-04-13 19:53:09 = 852800 exp

Hacking a Polaroid printer with Codex: the printer didn't have a Mac app or any way to connect to a laptop, so I got Codex to reverse engineer the bluetooth connectivity and build a native swift app. We then also built a Codex skill to get it to print something fun. With coding assistants you can now avoid being stuck with badly design native software, but build something yourself that you'll like and enjoy - whether it is a printer, digital photo frame or some other IoT device gathering dust around the house. It is really not that hard to do anymore.

It's a 3D printer, and 3D assembly station! 🖨️ The Functgraph developed at Meiji University starts as a regular 3D printer but upgrades itself into a mini factory. It can print parts for its own tools, pick them up, clean them, and put them together, all by itself. Think of it like a robot that can 3D print a spatula, assemble it, and then use it to flip pancakes. 🥞 Instead of just printing objects, the Functgraph can actually perform physical tasks, like folding laundry or slicing vegetables, by using printed and assembled tools. It’s a step toward the idea of a robot that can download "apps" as physical skills, much like your phone downloads software! 👀

There are very few things that have higher nostalgic value than the memory of The Print Shop (Broderbund, 1984). If you had a dot-matrix printer in the 80s, chances are you used this incredible publishing program. It allowed users to easily create signs, greeting cards, banners, posters, and letterheads using its built-in clip art, fonts, and templates. And if you were the curious type, I’m sure you printed an entire page in black just to see what would happen. In case you never did, let me tell you: it was both a nerve-wracking sound and a totally drenched, soggy piece of paper in the end. (Totally worth it!) Originally launched for the Apple II and later ported to the Commodore 64, IBM PC, and other platforms, it worked with any common dot-matrix printer. Its simple interface meant even 9-year-old me could figure it out. I made covers for virtually anything, from my father's toolbox to my mother's kitchen drawers. It sold over a million copies, and became one of the most popular titles of the era.

BREAKING: Printr CEO drops alpha a $PRINT community presale and airdrop will be happening "We're about to make some huge announcements in the coming days, so I guess I could share some alpha here. We will be planning to do a community sale so that all of our supporters and believers can be part of the journey. We're going to be raising some money and letting the community participate before we TGE so people can invest in the future PRINT token." "And yes, we will definitely be doing an airdrop. I know nobody believes anyone anymore because everyone said there's an airdrop and nobody did it. So I won't promise you guys anything. Just watch our actions."

🔌Today I created a virtual web-based null modem so now you can finally play Quake 1 (from 1996) in multiplayer in the browser with other people online! This week I was able to create a virtual printer that listens on the COM2 port to make a web-based printer work in Windows 3.11, like on you can actually print to, it was one of my ideas when I started but it was always too difficult to make, I had no idea where to start, but this week AI was able to do it! Today I woke up and thought "if we can listen to COM2 via JS, how about listen to COM1 from Quake 1?" then we could forward the COM1 data via Websockets and to another user to create a virtual null modem (A null modem was a cable you'd use to connect two computers to each other directly in the 90s, if you couldn't afford buying a network card you'd use this to network, but you could only play with one other computer not multiple) So I built it, it took about an hour and works! I wanted to get Quake 1 in DOS to work with multiplayer for 2 years but I could never get it to work, but now it did it This project is a good benchmark of how capable AI is becoming, figuring stuff out that humans would take months within an hour You can try it here, I don't know how it will match lots of people but let's see, you have to exit to DOS first (ALT-F4 or FN-Option-F4 on Mac), then type CD games, then CD quake, then quake, then ESC, then Multiplayer, then either Create New Game or Join Game, and use Direct Connect, keep settings same and you're in!

🚨 Andrew Tate on what "The Matrix" actually means. "A false version of reality projected in front of your eyes to keep your mind asleep so your body can be utilized." For you it is not body heat. For you it is WORK. They distract you with sports, festivals, concerts, fake news, fake drama. Anything to keep you scrolling while they print money. Then Andrew says the line that should chill you: "Anybody who is not yet unplugged will defend the matrix. They are agents, whether they realize it or not." Your friends. Your co-workers. Your family. Tag the ones who tell you "just get a normal job."

Want to make your ads POP? Try bringing the TikTok comment overlay to life by having it literally pop out of the screen and into the creator’s hands! 🙌 It takes some effort to print, cut ✂️, and align, but it’s SO worth it for a scroll-stopping hook.
