@Gazorbo_ @mrdoornbos You’re going to need a C128 for that

@mrdoornbos Send it back in time ...

I let a Commodore 64 run for three and a half days straight. 87 billion instructions, 303 billion clock cycles, 5.9 million candidate settings tested. It cracked an Enigma message in German without knowing a single character of the plaintext. 🧵1/2

@naftasux @AWeirdPhysicist Microfit

@AWeirdPhysicist Looks like a Molex header.

Raytheon: Custom made round card connectors that cost first born son as a blood offering… Boeing: ***I’m quite found of header connnectors***

Hot stuff ;) I could/should check X more frequently.

@Timoldland Helium is not “laughing gas”

Very interesting video, is the AI house of cards going to take a tumble thanks to laughing gas shortage? 🤔

@GlasgowCC Have you considered, in the interest of public safety, not allowing networks of foreign nationals to run what appear to be illegal money laundering operations under the guise of selling dubious smoking products, inside of public infrastructure? glasgowbell.co.uk/who-owns-105-u…

❗Union Street Incident – Update – Thurs 12 Mar 2026 We're now in control of Union St. site & after a full & final assessment of the remaining structure, we have decided that demolition must happen in interests of public safety. Look out for updates ➡️ ow.ly/4Obb50YsNUS

@Timoldland @TheSecretFF999 @AntiEVidiots @eV_Newt @TheEvEngineer It is a traditional thermal runaway. The Zoe has a hatch in the top of the battery beneath the rear seats. The flammable vapour from venting can get from there into the cabin. When the right air/fuel mixture is reached, boom.

@TheSecretFF999 I don’t know the story here, but there’s no way that’s traditional thermal runaway. They absolutely don’t explode like that. Thoughts @AntiEVidiots @eV_Newt @TheEvEngineer ?

Fantastic video showing the risks with thermal runaway.

@GameLin85746005 @cqcqcqdx Grounding is the least of the problems here.

@cqcqcqdx where the hell is your grounding lmao

Node Power Outlet: Two grooves curving around the wall plate are live with electricity throughout the entire length. This design allows you to plug in lights, chargers, etc. at any spot along the grooves. Eliminates need for power strips and a cleaner aesthetic on the wall!

@ElectronicsbyJH @matseng Jamming EV charge stations.

@matseng So basically I'm building, for lack a better word, a Jammer. 🤣

I'm building this for a school project, and that is the only context I will give:

@AndyatAuto @EdConwaySky I’m just going by the Munro teardown:

While Ariya was developed after I left Nissan, to the best of my knowledge it uses permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) — not wound-rotor (electromagnet) motors. •Each motor (the front and/or rear, depending on variant) uses rare-earth permanent magnets for rotor excitation. •Nissan refers to them internally as “EM57” (earlier generation, Leaf) and the newer “EM61/EM63” units for Ariya, which I believe are PMSMs.

🎥 What on earth are rare earths? Why do they matter so much? Why do they nearly all come from China? And how worried should we be about the latest chapter in the trade war? These and more questions answered in my latest primer👇

@AndyatAuto @EdConwaySky The Nissan Ariya also uses a wound rotor. And all motors are “electro-magnetic” to be fair :)

Really useful analysis that explains why rare earths are so important. Interestingly for EV it is also possible to use an electro-magnetic motor - The original Renault Zoe used Caméléon as Renault’s integrated charger system, not the motor itself — but it worked with the early electrically excited synchronous motor (EESM). The EESM featured •A rotor with copper windings, excited electrically to create a magnetic field. •It did not use rare-earth magnets. •Excitation current was delivered via slip rings and brushes (yes, physical contacts).

@OctopusElectro Thanks for the response. On second thoughts I don’t want to put any identifying information on this app (even in DM) due to having criticised the megalomaniac owner in the past. I’ll manage without.

@ka1mar Hey there, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! We're really sorry to hear you're experiencing this. Could you kindly DM us your email address so we can help you as quickly as possible?⚡

@OctopusElectro is this actually functional at all? It’s impossible to log in to the website, via Apple ID or with email address. I get continuous captchas. The app lets me in but I cannot register any form of payment, it always fails. I’ve tried dozens of times over weeks.

@castlefordhouse @vauxhall No, it’s the Kylesku Bridge, clearly.

@vauxhall @TheEVROS in the back of a recovery vehicle broke down or out of charge would be the best guess

Our all-electric #MokkaE is back home after a successful journey as part of the EV Rally of Scotland. It travelled over 1,234 e-miles finishing in Glasgow, home of #COP26. Any guesses as to where this picture was taken? 👀 > s.vauxhall.com/x6q54u @TheEVROS #EVROS

@SummerRay @sometallactor “It’s aliens”.

@sometallactor 😅

Sorry but why isn’t absolutely every single person talking about the fact that those two astronauts that are stuck in Space are now hearing mysterious heartbeat sounds and no one know what it is. THIS ENTIRE STORY IS INSANE

@WalkoEsquire @Morris_Oxford They are not nice looking cars.

@Morris_Oxford Nice looking cars, pity that looney unionised nationalism totally destroyed the British car industry

I'm bored. Let's have a deep dive into what you could get from BL in 1980...

@dpeilow @TeslaJigsaw Congrats David! What’s the story with the chademo inlet?

@TeslaJigsaw Here's how the story continues. The car made it 217 miles back to my place with no problems and no trailer required (at least on the car side - the charging network was a different story, but I planned for that). x.com/dpeilow/status…

Of course. But I finally know what range anxiety feels like! And literally the first person I talked to when I arrived was @QuentinWillson who happened to be walking past. I think he was as pleased to see it get there as I was 🙂

@Jon83989650 @Four____under @WR4NYGov remind me of this

@Four____under @WR4NYGov I’ve followed Elon very closely for the past 10 years. Less than 1% chance he quits. It would be akin to a father abandoning his child. And Elon is not the kind of individual who gives up like that. If anything, adversity is one of his biggest motivators.

I just sold 20% of my Tesla stock. Hated to do it. Significant risk: 1. The shareholders vote no on the compensation package 2. This would be correctly seen as a vote of no confidence in Elon 3. Elon is likely to leave if it happens 4. If Elon leaves, the AI team leaves quickly, the dream is dead, the stock collapses and the company never recovers 5. There's not much upside in a yes vote

@btbytes I just randomly though about tinaja.com for the first time since I was at university in the late 90s, and used to religiously read his blog and articles. Searched and found it was still there, alas to be updated no more. What a great guy. RIP.

Just found out that one of the OGs of PostScript programming Don Lancaster passed away last year. His website tinaja.com is one of those unique websites that has no peers. RIP.
