[Wayback/Archive] Show HN: Live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme | Hacker News

As a fun evening project, I made a live-updating version of the ‘What a week, huh?’ meme (based on a panel from The Adventures of Tintin comics [1]).

There’s a page for every timeframe:

Osmo-fl2k – osmo-fl2k – Open Source Mobile Communications

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/03

Interesting, but be aware that using it outside a shielded environment likekly is illegal: [Wayback/Archive] Osmo-fl2k – osmo-fl2k – Open Source Mobile Communications

  • osmo-fl2k allows to use USB 3.0 to VGA adapters based on the Fresco Logic FL2000 chip, which are available for around $5, as general purpose DACs and SDR transmitter generating a continuous stream of samples by avoiding the HSYNC and VSYNC blanking intervals.

  • Operating a transmitter with the unfiltered FL2000 DAC output attached to an antenna outside a RF shielding chamber is dangerous. Don’t do it!
