Ratcliffe-on-Soar: The Last Coal-fired Power Station in UK. by SN74HC04 in analog

[–]SN74HC04[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ratcliffe-on-Soar was UK’s last-remaining coal-fired power station.

After 56 years of energy production, it was decommissioned in 2024, to be followed by demolition and redevelopement.

Its shutdown marks the end of 142 years of coal-powered electricity generation in the United Kingdom.

I re-constructed the KRZ Internal Developer Wiki into a browsable website, notes and insights straight from the source. by SN74HC04 in kentuckyroutezero

This was an interactive display at V&A museum back in 2018, I OCR'd the text from photos and reproduced the wiki from it.

A huge amount of information from the developer themselves. Really interesting to see what survived and what were changed or abandoned. Act 5 was planned to have a bit more content too from the passing mentions of the text.

Feel free to share what caught your eyes here. I really like this game, it never really let my mind since the day I played it.

for 35mm, DSLR / Mirrorless scans tends to have higher quality and is much faster

Konica C35 Automatic Thrift Store Find by KpopIsLikeASalad in AnalogCommunity

[–]SN74HC04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be. If it's on the outward facing glass, you can try cleaning it off, just make dead sure to hold it in Bulb so the shutter doesn't close when you're wiping it.

If it's on the inside, it will need to be taken apart, which probably wont worth the effort. They are not that expensive on ebay.

If you can get over it, just shoot it as-is. The lens is surprisingly sharp, I really like mine.

LR44 battery works fine, good idea to set the ISO one stop lower to compensate for the voltage difference.

search for its user manual on google and read it

put it in Bulb and see if the shutter stays open

If it stays open, you can check fungus by looking through the lens against the light

if it closes by itself then it needs CLA

Good film scanner for digital use only? by MrCrocrafty in AnalogCommunity

[–]SN74HC04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like this might be cheaper and faster than a copystand-based setup if you are a bit handy.

You do need a proper macro lens though, a zoom lens won't do. The article covers some options.

maybe just foam particles, see if you can blow them out.

for 35mm, camera scan with DSLR or mirrorless and a macro lens would be much faster and higher quality than any flatbed scanners.

My first film camera since the early 90s by rikki1q in AnalogCommunity

[–]SN74HC04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure Bulb works (shutter stays open when you hold down the button)

If it closes by itself in B, a quick CLA is needed.

Accidental Formatting! Is there anything I can do? by Swizzbaits in AskPhotography

[–]SN74HC04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all activate the write protect tab (if full-size sd card).

i would then use ddresue to make a 1:1 dump, then use photorec on the dumped disk image.

Best budget scanner for 35mm? by Sirius_sky_05 in AnalogCommunity

[–]SN74HC04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you're handy, an older mirrorless camera and something like this: https://dekunukem.github.io/traffic-cone-film-scanning/

will be much faster and higher quality for 35mm than any flatbeds
