I recommend looking up the candidate most likely to beat the Tories in your area and voting for them. Even if they’re a bit shit, because bit shit is better than full of shit.

As we don’t have any kind of proportional voting system, it’s most votes wins.

Even if everyone gets a similar number of votes, the candidate with the highest number just wins.

And that fucking hurts to say. Remember Brexit?

Wow. The UK is just about to turn off its last coal-fired power station. Hello, Australia?

“They found that, relative to patients who had fully recovered, those with Long Covid showed a pattern of immune system activation indicating inflammation of myeloid cells and activation of a family of immune system proteins called the complement system.” https://scitechdaily.com/blood-biomarkers-reveal-the-hidden-world-of-long-covid/

@taylorlorenz the idea that they have found a research avenue to focus on that might result in something helpful is absolutely glorious.

If anyone has an IBIS interface or knows where I can get one, that'd be awesome :)

I keep tripping over a display I want to get working for EMF, and I'm running out of time 😔

Do you work for a company?

Does it want to get its name out to thousands of nerds, makers, and enthusiastic tinkerers?
Is it hiring for any of the above?

Why not suggest @emf to them?

those who have worked on CRT AC/Main circuits: has anyone ever successfully converted a 240V UK monitor to 120V US? is this even possible?

scenario: about 15 years ago, an incredibly gracious person from the UK sent me their Amstrad PC/2086. both the PC and the monitor are wired for 240V, and appear to use non-switching PSUs.

rebuilding the PC to use a standard north american AT PSU is simple, and takes about 10 minutes.

the monitor, on the other hand, is unexplored territory for me. I've never worked on the input side of a CRT before. i've done plenty of flyback and cap replacements, but never anything to the AC circuit.

any amount of thinking out loud from people who have direct experience with the HV side of the circuit would be appreciated!

One thing to watch out with these transformers is staying within their power limits (+ some headroom). Otherwise they like to get warm and melt.
Add up the rated watts of the monitor and computer eg. 250W.
For that much power you’ll need a step transformer rated for over 250W (or 250VA).

Here are some examples:

The one thing is: the crt might be unhappy about the frequency if it’s clocking off mains frequency rather than an internal oscillator.

I made a pair of 1U Eurorack speaker modules this evening.

I ordered a couple of 20x40mm speakers, and some panel mount mini jack sockets.

While waiting for them to arrive, I modelled a 1U panel in Fusion360 (this was my first parametric design)

With the parts in hand, I measured them up and designed a mounting bracket for the speaker and some bracing around the mini jack hole.

Put it all together and amazingly they seem to work as planned first time!

And here are my speaker modules in use!

They’re completely passive so need to be used with an amplifier.

I’ve got them plugged into my Erica Synths Pico Output module, which has a headphone amplifier.
