Fans are usually loud in proportion to their speed. Quiet ceiling fans have a big diameter and many blades. Doesn’t a small fan cause a lot of noise?
Ionic wind generators also exist. Cool to have a particle accelerator but not very strong and catches dust (that’s why they’re called “air purifiers”)

2·8 hours agoDuring coal shortages in WWII, Switzerland used to run a few steam locomotives on electric heaters, combining most disadvantages of the two system (heavy, inefficient, needs wires except for about 15 minutes)
Damn, DuckDuckGo is bad at searching weird characters. Should have checked that, thanks

Prague is my ISP-reported location. Strange that DDG uses it although I disabled results specific to Czechia.

U+13430 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH VERTICAL JOINERis used. When I paste the MdC code here, I see some above each other but not when I paste that back here or in UnicodePad, so it looks like the rendering works different in different contexts. The converter may be wrong: only:, not-should cause characters to stack, and it should prevent that with a ZWNJ or force that (if supported) with U+13430. Also, 𓏭 is just a variant way of writing 𓇌, much like 𝚊/𝑎, ϕ/φ, Л/Λ, 論/论, 𓁔/𓁕 etc.Given that the ASCII code for 𓄿𓈖𓎼𓂋𓇌 is an English word and contextually sensible, I spent way too much time trying to find what someone must have typed into some converter to get 𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 but I couldn’t find a satisfactory answer. Note that the MdC code never contains single letters
CEJOUVso they may have been dropped, and even more letters are dropped to get phonemic codes in examples I’ve seen like “Tutankhamun” → twt-Ꜥnḫ-ꞽmn → 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓏏𓅱𓏏𓋹𓋾𓉺𓇓.

I have a small number of fine hairs on the back of my fingers’ first section. That’s the sharpest and most sensitive body part that fulfils the criteria and I think I could “scan” the screen with it. I also remember feeling something with the tips of my fingers, maybe ionic wind or capacitive current flow at 60 Hz (refresh rate).
Wild that most households just used to have a 25kV particle (electron) accelerator but maybe an array of 3x800x600 transistors (TFTs) wired by transparent coating on glass is wilder.

I wonder if you could find bright shapes on a black bacground. But Braille haptic devices and speech synthesizers did exist back then so that’s not a practical visually-impaired aid.
Fake. Windows 95 devs couldn’t have guessed I’d be seeing this on an OLED screen. The screens they targeted tingled when touched. /s
