You are right though, people should be concerned. Very concerned. And proactive.

"that flagged nebulizer use as smoking"
My wife's an RN. I had to ask her "Whats a nebulizer," and, follow up, "Is
that something people carry with them to use in a car?"
I had imagined the 'inhalers' asthmatics employ to help them

Re: altermagnetism
Your experiences sound a lot like mine.
I too have a core memory sample but without I-O electronics.
For a job, I bought two early 8¡± floppy drives @ $800 each in 1977. That is $4,000 each in

Re: CAN LIN the misery
The 280Z was infamous in EMI/Ham circles for the total lack of shielding and bypassing on the CPU.
A fellow engineer had one and thunder storms were enough to cause it to run rough.

Re: altermagnetism
I just threw away a 1k (1024) magnetic core plane driven by TTL. It dated from 1968. The college of engineering was tossing it in 1976 and I thought it might be useful. Wired it to a KIM-2.? It

Yeah, I had a nice run-in with a rental company monitoring system that flagged nebulizer use as smoking. They couldn't backtrack fast enough when Lawyer inquired about number of

One problem with new 'driver alertness monitoring" systems is some of them don't like certain sunglasses.

Re: Safety when trying to couple a scope to the AC mains
Hi,
I usually stay to low voltage circuits. I try to stay away from anything that can kill me (or give me a shock and ruin my day). Even so, from time to time I want to scope out a 120v circuit.

Re: CAN LIN the misery
FWIW, wire in a conventional harness weighs a LOT, and connections are common sources of failure. Good connectors cost a lot of money; good connectors to carry significant current cost more.
