Don't give New Years party glasses manufacturers any more ideas.

They won't do it because they can only sell them once

I want a clock that illuminates like this, but I guess it'd need to be able to flip to really do it with just a 4 and 8.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

It wouldn't need to flip if you just make a symmetrical upsidedown 4 on the topside of the 8.

Pro tip for if you need to scratch out sensitive penned down text: don't scratch it out, it'll still be readable. Instead write other similar numbers and letters over it. Have a 9? Write a p over it, then use the circle for the bottom of an 8, then write a B over the p.. it'll be impossible to discern what the original letter or number was. Do this for all letters and you're good.

Straight up this is exactly what came to mind for me as well

It's a great watch for those that haven't BTW, I'd recommend it if you're curious

I never write 4 that way, though

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me neither. I also cross my 7's.

Funny, I do box top 4's but don't cross my 7's

My 9's also have a tail pointing straight down though

Arrange a high density led strip in this layout, the individually addressable ones. Then you’ve got a new digit display style
