Guten Maunz!

I occasionally check if Google has cured itself from AI-brain rot, alas this is a screenshot from just now

atkelar,

@thomasfuchs hmmm... Must be one of those weird unicode 'K' style symbols then... 🤔🤪

atkelar,

@georgetakei probably the same crop where they found the UFO "insider". Maybe they are travelling on a time share ticket? :blobyeengrin:

In my last video, I probably should have included an image of what "in conduit" means. So here's the outlet in my kitchen island, and what's inside the cabinet.

All electrical work around Chicago is done like this even in residential construction. Armored cabling is sometimes allowed and is much easier for a DIYer. I've worked with it before, though, and it still sucks compared to Romex!

A view from inside the cabinet where a metal pipe is coming up through the floor and bending to meet a metal electrical box. Wires run within the pipe to the box and then the receptacle

atkelar,

@TechConnectify well, certainly differnt from what we have around here... https://meow.social/@atkelar/111144254196361014 - mind you, I'm not sure if I'm 100% up to code, but I'm sure it's at least within a version of the code form the last decade or so 😊

@standupmaths oh no! If you say the name three times... :ms_laughing:

The FBI reopened its case briefly against Hillary over her emails just weeks before the election, and Trump didn’t call it “ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”

atkelar,

@georgetakei He couldn't be more hypocritical if he tried. And yet his fans agree. This is why they are objectively bad people, if you needed yet another definition... It boggles the mind.

From the upcoming project video; a bit of - most recent projects are way too big for a full project one, so let's enjoy this toggle switch...

atkelar,

@philpem it's what the "putting parts in a neat grid layout" is called; At leas amongst most people who do that ^^ Birdsite had quite a few posts with pictures of all sorts of items....

Yay! 🍾 🎉 Milestone! The boot over network works! Including pushing a new boot image to the server!

Waiting for an initial design do over and then the server should go up to the GitHub!

Remember: Every accusation is actually a confession.

atkelar,

@georgetakei it does boil down to an old observation: it's usually those who shout "sin!" the loudest who are the ones who want to deter from their own "sins". Kind of an overcompensation thingy? It's what you get when you teach children that something arbitrary is "bad".

I've given up trying to figure out what slows down video renders.

Today, Media Encoder is struggling most with... still .pngs.

Blasting through 4K h.264 footage no problem, about twice real-time in fact, but a motionless graph? Yeah that's gonna go at about 5 FPS today.

atkelar,

@TechConnectify I think the difference is the hardware support for most videos these days, as opposed to stuffing a bitmap into the render engine one pixel at a time. Also, maybe the GPU render doesn't work for some weird reason? Color space?

It's interesting reading comments of the Hyundai brake light issue.

A lot of people seem to think "this isn't a big deal" but, once again, their reason is that "you should just be paying attention"

Why is it so damn hard to get people to realize that OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT YOU and that YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW WELL THEY MIGHT BE PAYING ATTENTION?

atkelar,

@TechConnectify I think that's a very US style of thinking; "smugly blame" = "sue" and you have what the people around here think of the situation over there 😁 Somehow the US educates people to "just do whatever and sue later" - ignoring the fact that for some affected people ther might not be a "later"...

Fighter planes in the 1950s used the Bendix Central Air Data Computer to determine air speed, mach number, altitude and so forth from pressure. It is electromechanical, using gears and synchros for its computations. Amazingly, it is modular and can be easily disassembled.

We separated the top layer from the rest for testing. The "interface" between the layers is two gears and an electrical connection. The electronic servo amplifier blocks come off too.

The CADC disassembled into two main chunks, sitting on a workbench. Two electronics modules are sitting in front of it.
The CADC on a workbench with one of the electronics packages separated into three boards connected by wiring harnesses. An oscilloscope is connected.

atkelar,

@kenshirriff eeew. The caps remind me of the ones in the scope that is currently on my bench. Very similar look indeed. Water damage in my case. Currently rebuilding all the circuit, cause that white stuff was also all over the wiring. Would live to hear what it actually is...

Well, I might as well...

I started a github repo for the Nabu networking interface replacement I'm working on... Details in the readme, I'll gladly accept feedback. The decision on public/private project is still a bit up in the air. If there's no interest or pushback, I'll just keep doing it for my own fun...
