This is most useful for retrocomputing, and that’s gonna be the target demographic.
While it’s true that industrial and manufacturing sometimes have really old hardware, that’s usually less due to them not having newer options and more due to preferring something tried and true (it “just works” for their workflow) or the sheer economics of upgrading; in most of those cases, there’s already a flow for interfacing with newer technology (FTP or USB 1.0/2.0 commonly). So this device wouldn’t offer much benefit, if any.

- masfuerte 11mo agoI'd never heard of Electrical Discharge Machining. The video is less than two minutes and gives a quick introduction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1D5DLWWMp8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1D5DLWWMp8
- trevithick 11mo agoInteresting, thanks for posting. I never heard of this either and read EDM as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music Which kind of makes sense.
