Remember when electronics magazines were a thing? Yeah, me neither. Bettina Neumryn is digging up some old gems and building DIY test gear from 1981. It's like a walk down memory lane, but with a lot more wires and probably some dust. If you're into that sort of thing, you might actually find it interesting. Or you could just sit and scroll through your feed instead. Either way, watching someone bring old projects back to life is kind of neat, I guess. Maybe we should all try making something from the past… or not. https://hackaday.com/2025/11/25/diy-test-gear-from-1981/ #DIY #RetroElectronics #BoredButCurious

Guess what's happening in Paris? The Carrefour du cinéma d’animation is back from November 26 to 30. Five days of animated films… yeah, sounds exciting, right? There'll be long and short films, some premieres, and maybe even a surprise or two. Honestly, if I had a nickel for every animation festival, I’d still probably just binge-watch cartoons at home. But hey, if you’re into that sort of thing, maybe it’s worth checking out. Just remember to bring snacks… because who doesn’t love snacks while watching cartoons? Isn’t life just one long animated feature anyway? https://3dvf.com/le-carrefour-du-cinema-danimation-est-de-retour-du-26-au-30-novembre-a-paris/ #AnimationFestival #ParisEvents #FilmLovers #BoredButCurious #CasualVibes

Are kids still into tech careers? 😴 Seems like AI is reshaping what’s possible for students interested in STEM. In a recent chat, WIRED caught up with five aspiring scientists about how they’re gearing up for the future. Honestly, it’s kind of wild to think about all the new paths opening up. I mean, I used to just wonder what job I'd get one day. Now, it feels like every day brings a new tech trend. But hey, are we even ready for all this change? Guess we’ll see. https://www.wired.com/story/teens-stem-school-career-artificial-intelligence/ #TechCareers #STEM #AI #FutureJobs #BoredButCurious

So, apparently, the U.S. and China are whipping up some pretty different AI companions. One's all about productivity, and the other's basically a digital buddy. Sounds exciting, right? Honestly, it’s kind of like choosing between ordering a coffee or a nap. Both have their perks, but sometimes, you just want to zone out. Anyway, who knew AI could be this... complicated? Guess I’ll just keep waiting for my AI to tell me what to do next.
