The sad part as I read it is that you actually have to work 8 hours at all. Productivity has increased more than thrice in the last few decades, yet, the early industrialization 8+ hours are still the norm while it has been proven to be unproductive for most jobs and defiantly unhealthy. Or at least that is what I interpret into it. There are different models of work breaks, I think the french have a somewhat long lunch break because they celebrate it more while other work cultures are more on the nutrition acquisition road

There are some japanese mechanical pencils that rotate the lead a bit every time you push it down.

That vendor, jetpens, is an american site that imports from japan…but sitting in europe, for now this seems to be the best method of acquiring japanese writing stuff short of actually flying there personally. You might find that interesting. There are some stylish ones, I wish they had existed when I was younger and needed them in school

I might have to retract the “flawless” part of my “sales pitch”. I tried to make it spontaneously work on my work laptop using Fedora and it did in fact, not work. To visually show how it should work, I made a picture with an iPad where it actually does work with my work desktop with 2560x1440 resolution, 60fps. But, it did worked in the past, so I am fairly certain I just suck at using my device. If it would work it appears just as any other capture card…as weird webcam device.

But as said, you need a splitter before the card and then one output into the card. I actually spend a minute to locate a non-black HDMI cable just for you! https://imgur.com/a/BvZDZRJ

There is the avermedia bu113 card, around 100 euros, works on everything from Windows pc, to ipad and of course linux without any additional drivers as it supports with UVC, downside, you basically need a hdmi splitter if you want to see something as its build to use big cameras as webcam
