While reading this, I came across mention that Los Angeles was operating with a 50Hz AC grid in the 1940s. This was very surprising to me because 20 years after the switch (in 1948), I began to tinker with electronics, and I never encounte

I have never had to seek work. It has always been from people I knew or people who knew my coworkers. If one has good skills, the work will speak for itself and lots of repeat business/new customers will come knocking on the door.

Muilenburg is to blame. He got the stock price up by getting rid of all of the more experienced (older) higher paid engineers who knew to not make the sort of mistakes that were made on the 737-Max. I was a happy 35+ year Boeing employee

I've been doing it for 35 years and it has been great. I've had as much extra work as I can handle. (Sometimes I have more than I can handle.) It's a great way to build/maintain skills, earn extra money, and create a

The problems with the 737-MAX are inherent in the airframe design. It is unstable and it needs software to correct the instability. The 737-MAX is the only version of the 737 series with this issue. It is not the same "airframe&quot

I wonder what sort of hoops I'll need to jump through to create an "attestation" for my SIP provider that proves the legitimate spoofing of my outbound VoIP calls (to my main business number) is okay. As of right now, they h

Couriers were great, but not as good as Hayes. Of course the Hayes modems cost twice as much so everyone bought the USR modems instead.

I think the original (down-voted) poster meant that DNS should be decentralized to something more than 13 servers, from which any government can decide to seize a domain. A decentralized DNS system would improve free speech, and it would h

I ordered one last week. I wonder how many of the specifications advertised will actually be met by the production version. 500 mile range, faster than a vette, 100cu feet of storage, seats 6, sledgehammer proof body, bullet proof glass,

I connected a 1TB SATA SSD to one of my RPI machines with the Element 14 "PI DESKTOP - HAT AND ENCL". ($50) It's a nice RPI case with some extras. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh7AFRIdGi8

Another good alternative (for those of us who home-brewed their own router) is pfBlockerNG, which is an optional module for pfSense. It can do everything that Pi-hole can do, and more.

Great video! My only nitpick was when Aaron said the camera resolution (800x800) was 640 MEGAPIXELS. I can understand why he misspoke. Everybody today uses megapixels as the measure of pixel density, but back in the mid 1970's, digit

No, politicians would not need to visit California because the way in which the electoral college is being eliminated is by keeping it intact, but forcing the state electors to follow the federal trend instead of the local one. The result

Why is it that the Cambridge Analytica "hack" is even an issue? The reason is because the data was used to get an "evil" republican elected. The exact same tactics were used to get Obama elected, and nobody seems to be

Obviously only the "blue" states want this change. Fortunately there are more "red" states than blue states, so the original purpose of the electoral collage, as created by the founding fathers, will be preserved. Othe

I'm all for it, but one gripe I have about Consumer Affairs' reporting is that they interchange the words "regulations" and "law" to mean the same thing. As we witnessed during the Net Neutrality see-saw, regu

It's even more interesting that many Julys prior to 1979 were warmer still. Our (humanity's) temperature records aren't very good before 1895, but the long-term (many thousands of years) temperature record shows that much hi

The 8051 platform can present even more challenges for assembly language code developers than the 6502. It has been over 35 years since I wrote any 6502 code, and over 30 years since I wrote any 8051 code, but I remember the biggest issue o
