I still have a weird sound generator to fix up that a friend of mine bought off ebay that's not quite functional. The MFOS site has the most incredible in-depth instructions and explainers for all the synth components and an extensive

not just the WL B-sides, but there are also a few snatches of audio glitching in WL itself[0] and most of his work from '99 or so leans heavily on these exact distortions. There was even one album that the name escapes me right now (al

My sons are both (well one more than the other) heavily into Pokémon, and will quite happily flit between episodes from the first season and the latest ones without missing a beat. The sheer number of episodes across the whole series means

Until a couple of years ago, Yes(officially). Then HMRC codified what they had effectively been doing already which is to look away for small amounts. There is now officially a £1000 buffer for you to legally earn on the side. You don'

As an Amiga fanboi I was 99% sure this was going to be a mod-type music player in the vein of MED/OctaMED, Sound Tracker etc. Then I remembered hearing about Milky tracker a long while back and was then 100% sure ;)

So I'll caveat this with "every makerspace is different" so it's definitely a YMMV situation, however hackspaces or makerspaces that have properly gone all in on the "movement" are typically not-for-profit orga

My dad wrote a few articles for Byte around assistive computing technologies (usually speech synthesis systems for Apple II) back around 1983 or so, as well as reviewing a (1200 baud IIRC) modem with photos taken by my mom... time to go loo

This "UPS" solution is missing a key block though. A charging/BMS circuit for the battery. This would otherwise rely on having to manually attach a car battery trickle charger (don't even get me started on 20after4'

As much as I like mussels, they are NOT the same. (They are readily available in my area and moules marinere are something I do enjoy, especially in a nice pernod cream...) But New England fried belly clams have a taste that just can't

That's a luxury/high-tech car problem, not an EV problem. The problem is that currently, EVs only exist in that segment (excepting the Dacia spring, which is a basic car with a basic EV powertrain, but it's only available in

I think this is going to be very country specific. The UK for example has barely used any coal (relatively) for the main grid with a considerable amount of coal-free days in the past couple of years. (currently coal provides 0.0% of the UK&
