@teacakes99 @PCBway @SGirl0311 I would say so yes ... there's one more version coming up to flatten out the second plot

@MarcoReps @PCBway @SGirl0311 Multiplex heaven?

been a while

@macona Great Scott! there is apparently also a method for generating THz frequencies with femtosecond lasers ...... for those occasions when one needs that sort of thing 😅

@MarcoReps Can’t wait till you get to 1.21 gigareps

first ever femtosecond laser output at repslabs hq

@MrEchoIsHere 800nm, not interesting to Rhodamine 6G usually, but with temporal and spatial compression of the <1W average power into colossal peak powers, multi-photon-absorption happens equivalent to 400nm

@MarcoReps What nm

@gyger It is! rescued from scrap, internal millennia pump repaired, works again 🥳

@MarcoReps Looks like the front of a MaiTai.

@macona 80 Megareps!

@MarcoReps What’s the Reps rate (TM)?

@DaffyHellman Now with at least two more photons absorbed in every bottle!

@MarcoReps forbidden gatorade

@teacakes99 still missing a magnetron, this is only super slow "cloud-based" operation 🤓

@MarcoReps Great to see it operational! There's nothing like seeing a plasma getting work done 🧐

Born to measure things, forced to explain that metrology is not the study of weather.

@johnscherer Currently editing something completely unprecedented: A video with people in it. Very difficult for someone who only films things and hands typically. But I think it's worth it...

@johnscherer When the HDDs are too full for new procrastination material 🥺

cute page from a Fluke power amplifier ⚡️

@BreakingTaps @matthewvenn got some small quantities of both wires and a mountain of tools to practice with 😅 the al wire with silicon seems to have gone bad a few decades ago unfortunately

@MarcoReps @matthewvenn Nice! Need the deets! Au or Al? Wedge or ball? Congrats on the most fun and frustrating instrument ever :)

Happy world new toy acquisition day!

@matthewvenn that's a bingo

@MarcoReps some kind of wire bonder?

@curious_marc Oh I had vague memories of "something with rubber bands" but wasn't sure from where😁 Thank you so much! I'll try to find out if they are healthy, if there's backup-worthy data on them and if 8510B has some DC100 to GPIB readout before escalating to CM Data Recovery Services 🙏

@MarcoReps Also look at this episode which has the whole process. I had to upgrade the read op amp. Finally I made myself a test reader, I could probably recover at flux level for you. youtu.be/OoWphq5ejEA

is there an easy way to back up a bunch of DC100 cassette tapes with firmware options? 😬
