electRick cars .. one big solar storm with those over-ground wires
in the US and noting goes.

Or a high altitude nuke.
Or a hack

Diversify!
Beware of The glowballworming industrial complex and the greens.

They are a danger to humanity.

Today a new report came out by the IPPC
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-58130705

Anybody remember the 'CLub of Rome?'
Was a government payed scientist club predicting the end of the world

And here the masses are manipulated again.

And the media is controlled more and more, free speech is prevented.
Inflation looms.

So I did some tronics today, soldering micro circuits, things work.
Amazed I can still do it at my age,

Sure, but it wasn't anything remotely similar to the IPCC.

> Was a government paid scientist club predicting the end of the world.

Wikipedia doesn't say anything about who paid for it, but it is listed as a non-government organisation, so not paid for by any government.

The IPCC is government funded and exists to advise the politicians who pay for it. It's a lot more professional.

The Club of Rome was a total failure as a mass manipulation device - nobody took it seriously. The IPCC exists to advise politicians - not the masses. Their reports aren't aimed at the masses.

Free speech isn't prevented - your silly ideas get published here without any kind of restriction. They do get jeered at, but probably not as comprehensively as they deserve.

It's doing more than looming in Lebanon. There's not a lot of it about in better run countries.

Only a few months back a major pipe line computer problem (maybe ransom
ware) stopped the gas from Texas to states to around Virgina for about a
week.

Some day maybe the companies will wake up and air gap the control
systems from the internet. Maybe have a backup system for the finances
that is air gaped. Seems that more cities and companies are comming
under cyber attack.

I learned way back in the 1980's how frigal computer systems were. That
was when the home computers were using casset tapes and 5 inch disks to
store the data. I usually had around 3 copies of anything I though was
important and one extra copy of items I did not think was very important
or was easy to replace.

The electric supply is very reliable here in California. But the
politicians are working diligently to make it less so.

I love my Mantis. It's like flying an inch above a board in a tiny
drone.

I can solder and rework the tiniest leaded parts, but I need help from
downstairs with leadless, land grid, and BGA stuff. I can even dremel
FR4 and solder SOT-143s.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3p2p4o70kj582nm/SAV_Dremel.jpg?raw=1

My Tachion-laminate proto board is supposed to arrive today. It was
due over a week ago. It reminds me of the sign in a bar

FREE BEER TOMORROW.

Every PCB house seems to lose the recipe, namely go to hell, every few
years. C***** just did that.

Nice
Mine was an ebay module with an OVC3860 audio processor,
As we had thunderstorms every day and night (and still) needed some wireless for my headplugs
so I do not hang on the wires if lightning hits.
Added small 300 mAh lipo.. USB jack for charging, connectors, switch..

I wrote my own OS (CP/M clone), designed and build my own Z80 based system, with 5 1/4 inch floppies
http://panteltje.com/panteltje/z80/system14/index.html
http://panteltje.com/panteltje/z80/system14/diagrams/index.html
My real job in those days was a.o. designing ISA cards for in the IBM PC.
Then one day I moved to win 3.1 and trumpet winsock..
Then around 1998 to Linux, not been back to MS windows really.
First big C program in Linux was a Usenet newsreader:
http://panteltje.com/panteltje/newsflex/index.html
still using it today.
And I had a Sinclair ZX80 and a ZX81, nice BASIC.

Not much has changed in computers since then I think....

Usually when people get older their eyesight and steadiness (ever held a soldering iron) deceases.
You need a very steady hand to solder nano nano stuff.

At 71 my hand is steady enough, and I use a 10 power stereo microscope
to do the work on the SMD boards. Most younger people would do the same.
I feel lucky to be able to do that. Maybe not being a coffee drinker
helps.

It's a while since I've soldered anything. I've still got the iron, the solder and the flux.

> You need a very steady hand to solder nano nano stuff.

It helps to be short-sighted. A low powered microscope (like a Matis) helps, but I mostly just took my glasses off.

I did this yesterday for a customer.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdxyq0tz50alt0z/Blue_Kluge.jpg?dl=0

I was shakey, but that may have been the two cups of Peet's coffee.

The box in question has a blue TRIGGER indicator LED, and the customer
complained that it blinks at powerup. I was careful that the box has
no actual pulse output at powerup. This guy is using it to detonate
something. He buries our box inside his panel but light-pipes our LED
to his operator display! He clearly has funding.

The diode fixed the blink bug... \RESET to the LED anode.

http://www.highlandtechnology.com/DSS/J270DS.shtml

I did that at home during the big boring lockdown. I didn't really
expect that anyone would buy it.

That's our new custom extrusion, to replace the dreadful Hammond
boxes.

I paid $5.03 a gallon for premium gas on Monday. Eventually people
will start to notice things like that.

And buy electric cars. The sun shines more or less everywhere, so we will eventually be able to ignore OPEC, not to mention the nasty side-effects of burning fossil carbon for fuel. Of course John Larkin ignores them anyway, but not everybody can be quite that pig-ignorant and gullible.

The better half's plug-in hybrid is currently getting 2.7l/100km with
the mix of driving she does (range on full electric is quite short -
47km - 30 miles maybe less since it keeps a ~15km reserve, but enough
to make a big difference). That's about 87 miles per dimunitive US
gallon equivalent.

Gas at $10 or $15 isn't a problem at those efficiencies.

..1 inch or more is simple, twh SMDs are also .1 inch so to see

Things like that U8 chip I often use adaptor boards for proto (everything is a proto type here now_.
This is yesterdays, not very good soldering but works,
has both a white and blue flasing LED:
http://panteltje.com/pub/bluetooth_receiver_IX_IMG_0701.JPG
There are SMDs (elcos) on the back of the pertinax board.
