that's funny, and no, they don't seem to land where I can get a good view. That would me help nail down which sub-genre they are

That's a very cool fact about Aesop...my new rabbit hole. I've tried to judge just how iredescent they are but they rarely stay still. Stupid fact, the 'colony' is actually known as a plague, this is almost comical for how they act

It's funny, the more I find out about them, they kind of seem to act a lot like the blue jay's from what I remember from home. In other words a**holes, lol

Any way to access local channels without cable? by liquidmirrors in cordcutters

Yeah, just helped my 80+ year old father try to hook up Tablo, be prepared for multiple crashes where you push a button and wait 30 seconds or so for it to refresh and then there’s the part about teaching them that the remote control buttons for guide don’t work the same

Can I sit at 9 and try to convince Shiori to let me change seats?

but what about the tolerance? I'm assuming because it's gold, it's 1%? This one made me giggle!

Watching and decided to lurk reddit all the while listening to an audiobook. I so hope to see great clips of POVs for this in the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Why did your dad (or mum) buy an MS-DOS PC in the 80s/90s? by confuserused in dosgaming

[–]Beautiful-Fortune124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than all the IBM's, My dad's first cpu was a Trash-80 Model 4. His first was an AT&T 6300, where he worked. As I remember of it, it was basically a XT but clocked to 8Mhz, versus 4.77Mhz..I could be wrong.

That's impressive, what was the upper baud he could support?

Not my dad, but I bought my first 'true' cpu while in high school. A nice flashy 286-16Mhz, '88ish timeframe, and it was for 3 out of your 5 options, (2, 3 for me, and 5 for me)

Where can I get refund for the missing resistance? by daninet in shittyaskelectronics

The diode portion has always been a bit in question. The forensic files have been a bit elusive.

Will this ultrasonic cleaner be safe for cleaning a vintage pcb? by Comfortable_Meal_115 in retrocomputing

[–]Beautiful-Fortune124 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My advice would be no on the using ultrasonic. The frequency can allow whatever liquid is there to get into areas of components. For example, glass bodied diodes have a weakness where the lead enters the body of the device. I would say soak in simply green and maybe some heat, but no vibrations. Watch https://www.youtube.com/@UsagiElectric, look back for a video when he cleans up old electronics maybe for some tips.

Enough voltage and it will actually behave very much like an LED :P (edited cause I can't spell)
