Do I know anyone with paper copies of Nuts & Volts from the early nineties, specifically '93 and '94? I need an article, and I'm more than happy to pay for a paper copy or for a scan.

In 1991, at the Angola penitentiary in Louisiana, prisoners in the machine & welding shops were assigned to build parts to some contraption without knowing the purpose

They figured out they were making a bed for lethal injections for fellow prisoners at Angola & went on strike

In 1940, the Fair Labor Standards Act reduced the workweek to 40 hours. Today, as a result of huge advances in technology and productivity, now is the time to lower the workweek to 32 hours – with no loss in pay. Workers must benefit from advanced technology, not just the 1%.

my bluetooth earbuds broke. went to four mobile repair shops who told me to just get new ones. approached three uncles whose office was a wooden box on the sidewalk. they fixed them with a cigarette lighter and a soldering iron whose power cable came out of a vacant lot.

The war on transgenderism is also a war on transhumanism, and the sooner trans people and transhumanists both realize this the better.

BTW: the Restrict Act, AKA the “Tiktok Ban” also means access to your home networks and devices…

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

This is really essential. The bill would allow the government to reach into any online activity you have, including "smart" devices and camera footage as well as Alexa records etc.

While mocking China, our own US lawmakers are imitating the same online authoritarianism.

I made a thing to shoot Glowy Blade Runner replicant eyes. If you light from the exact center of the lens, it’ll bounce off your retinas back into the lens. Historically they used a 2 way mirror (like a teleprompter but with a light instead of a screen) but we’re in the future.

[Kevin Santo Cappuccio @arabidsquid]

Woo! The Jumperless breadboard is almost a thing. It’s 11 analog crosspoint switches bolted to the back of a breadboard. The blinking is done by actually connecting and disconnecting that LED from the power rails.
