"Fail safe" is just the most basic of all basic engineering techniques. The reason to do it as a heartbeat rather than a toggle is so that the player fails SAFE - if the player exits abnormally, the heart stops beating, and screen saving and locking resumes. I hope that this results in me getting a lot less email.įor decades, the traditional way for a video player to temporarily inhibit the screen saver was to have a heartbeat command that ran "xscreensaver-command -deactivate" once a minute while the video was playing, and ceased when the video was paused or stopped.

Or do you have the tech to scan a 3D model from MP4s of the TV show? Lemme know. ![]() Maybe this being out there will give someone the incentive to make me a real Max model. ![]() So finally I said fuck it, I guess we get Skull Headroom. But the guy who made it won't let me use it. Then finally one day I found one! And it was great! Really faithful, and even a reasonable number of polygons. I've wanted to make a Max Headroom screen saver for years, but - and this is shocking to me - I could not find a 3D model of Max's head anywhere on the interwebs. Usually my business going poorly results in more savers, but not this time. I only personally wrote two savers since the plague began.
