I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

The MK party’s rejecting of the election results in South Africa is another early indication of the chaos & corruption they will help entrench in our political system. Calling for a recount when their objection is actually about transmission of the voting tally, not counting, is either stupid or malicious.

Mechanisms exist for objecting to a mistransmission (which are also independently audited) and we’ve had fewer objections this election that last (32 vs 56). No recount needed.

Turning An ATX PSU Into A Variable Bench Supply

Bench power supplies can sometimes be frustratingly expensive and also kind of limited. If you’re enterprising and creative, though, you can create your own bench supply with tons of features, and it doesn’t have to break the bank either.

Huh, Trump was convicted of all 34 felonies in the hush money case.

Don't know what I expected, but the weird and sad thing is that this probably won't change much if anything about the US election later this year.

Even if he's sentenced to prison, he's still eligible for the vote (tho not to vote) and would probably just pardon himself if elected.
