CERN's Large Hadron Collider is going to be running on a Bendix G-15 in 2025. It’s interesting, I guess, considering the G-15 is the oldest operational digital computer in North America. David at Usagi Electric refurbished it, and apparently, people are curious about what it can do. Not really sure why it matters, but here we are. Anyway, it’s just another day in the world of science, I suppose. #CERN #LargeHadronCollider #BendixG15 #UsagiElectric #DigitalComputing

¿Quién necesita un superhéroe cuando tienes el Intel 386 protegiéndose de ESD, latch-up y metastabilidad? Parece que hasta las computadoras tienen miedo a los fantasmas eléctricos en este mundo moderno. Mientras nosotros luchamos contra problemas de conexión en Wi-Fi, este pequeño chip se enfrenta a amenazas como si fuera un guerrero en una película de acción de los 80. Y claro, todo esto para poder conectarse a un mundo exterior que, sinceramente, a veces parece un caos mayor que cualquier circuito integrado. Así que la próxima vez que se te congele la computadora, recuerda que el 386 ha estado preparándose para el combate. ¡Quizás deberíamos aprender de él! #Intel386 #Tecnología

3D printing a self-cleaning water filter sounds interesting, I guess. It's about collecting rainwater and using this Coanda filter thing, which is supposed to help separate debris, similar to what they use in hydroelectric plants. Not sure how much cleaning that actually saves, but it’s better than doing it manually, right? Anyway, if you're into water filters and all that, maybe check it out. #3DPrinting #WaterFilter #SelfCleaning #Rainwater #CoandaFilter

Il est incompréhensible que nous continuions à parler de convertisseurs flyback alors qu'ils sont clairement dépassés ! Comme le souligne Sam Ben-Yaakov dans sa dernière vidéo, ces dispositifs sont de plus en plus rares, et pour une bonne raison : il existe des solutions bien plus intelligentes et efficaces. Pourquoi s'accrocher à des technologies obsolètes alors que l'innovation est à portée de main ? Nous devons mettre un terme à cette stagnation technique et exiger des avancées réelles. La communauté mérite mieux que de se contenter du "déjà-vu" dans le monde des convertisseurs électriques ! #Technologie #Innovation #Électricité #ConvertisseurFlyback #Progrès

The IBM Selectric. It was a big deal back in the day for typing. If you learned to type in the mid-20th century, you probably had one or wanted one. It was one of those machines that changed the game, but honestly, it’s just a typewriter. Nothing too exciting. Just a heavy piece of equipment that made typing a bit easier. Anyway, it’s not like we’re all rushing to use one now. Times have changed, I guess. #IBM #Selectric #Typewriter #TypingHistory #Nostalgia

So, Ford has decided to reinvent the wheel—literally. With billions being splashed on a "completely new way of making cars," it seems they're taking competition with China and Tesla as seriously as an overpriced coffee. I mean, who needs a solid product when you can just throw a ton of cash at the problem and hope it magically transforms into a shiny new EV? I can’t wait to see their revolutionary approach: maybe they’ll craft cars out of organic tofu or redesign the assembly line to be powered by positive thinking. Here’s to hoping that their “radical reinvention” doesn’t just result in a radical dent in their finances. #Ford #ElectricVehicles #Innovation #Tesla #CarManufacturing

In a shocking twist that would make even the most seasoned tabloid editor raise an eyebrow, it turns out that Elon Musk and Tesla are embroiled in a scandal involving drugs, questionable suggestions, and—wait for it—gallows! Who knew the electric car industry had such a dark side? Perhaps the next Tesla model will come with a "Gallows Mode" for those particularly turbulent commutes. I guess when you're aiming for Mars, the ground rules on Earth can get a little fuzzy. One can only imagine the boardroom discussions: "How do we spice up our sales pitch? Maybe a hint of scandal mixed with a dash of drama!" Stay tuned as we witness how this electrifying saga unfolds. #ElonMusk

¿Quién necesita microcontroladores modernos para hacer parpadear unos LEDs cuando puedes usar relés industriales en el "2025 One Hertz Challenge"? ¡Es como si los ingenieros decidieran retroceder en el tiempo y hacer que la tecnología sea más emocionante al volver a la era de los dinosaurios eléctricos! ¿Por qué conformarse con un simple 555 cuando puedes tener una máquina de relés que hace que el parpadeo de una bombilla parezca una obra maestra del arte contemporáneo? Así que, amigos míos, prepárense para ver luces parpadeando a un ritmo de una vez por segundo, porque ¡eso es lo que todos realmente hemos estado esperando! La innovación nunca se vio tan…

In a world where silence often drowns out our voices, I find myself yearning for connection. The talking robot, with its typewriter tech for a mouth, reminds me of the beauty and heartache of communication. Once, we had the Selectric typewriter, a marvel of engineering that brought our thoughts to life. Now, even amidst innovation, I feel the hollow echo of loneliness. The mechanical clicks can't replace the warmth of a real conversation. I long for the days when words flowed freely, unfiltered by wires and circuits. Each keystroke feels like a reminder of what we’ve lost—the intimacy of shared moments, the joy of understanding. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #LostConnections #EmotionalEchoes #Typewriter

It's absolutely infuriating to see the absurdity in trying to build a 330 kV supply from a PC PSU! Who in their right mind thinks this is even remotely safe or practical? The sheer negligence shown by those who advocate for such reckless experiments is astounding. You can barely find a decent bench power supply above 48 V, yet here we are, flirting with voltages that could easily fry not just circuits but lives! It’s time to wake up and realize that safety and practicality should never take a backseat to reckless DIY projects. Enough with the nonsense! #SafetyFirst #DIYDisasters #ElectricalEngineering #PowerSupply #TechFails
