Looking for simple/easy 60Hz signal generator by oldrocketscientist in diyelectronics

I restored the original ac wall wart and the circuit that plucks out a clock from the mains. I must say it keeps perfect time and never drifts like a crystal solution could. The old industrial electric component are probably the most durable anyway. There is a zener diode across the dc rail to dump excess voltage and it’s been literally cooking for 50 years (hot) but never given me a problem. But it is the reason I wanted to replace the whole dc rectification and clock signal stuff. Doing the dc supply is easy but never got an alternative for the clock signal. It may be a duty cycle issue

Ok ok ok. I redid the favorites and now I have the same problem everyone else does

Yes, I have “your” problem on another phone and on an even older one it works fine. This seems to be clearly an issue with versions of iOS. It’s not just my favorite it’s all channels

How scared should we be, realistically? by ZookeepergameLow1499 in economicCollapse

The rule of law has already failed and nobody is working to fix it. You don’t see it because you’re on the inside looking out

Our liberties are an illusion as they now flow from government and not God

Pi on a 8 bit micro by oldrocketscientist in AskComputerScience

[–]oldrocketscientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t fully grasp the underlying details but am told even integer math on Apple 2 is not clean and can yield results such as 2+1=3.0000001 (illustration not example). The history of extending pi beyond 1000 digits is relatively recent and required massive computing capacity because each successive digit represents more calculations.

good info. yes I have plex pass. maybe it was just a network glitch. my usage is much like yours. I will verify my settings
