In the early days of the Rolling Stones, I've read, the boys would send Keith down to the basement with his guitar while they waited upstairs for him to return with a riff or a lick that they could build a song around.
The basement.
That's where you and I need to go.
HAPPY WORLD KARATE DAY! 🥳
On this day in 1936, masters in Okinawa held a meeting about Karate. 🥋
Originally, it was taught in secrecy…
Now they decided to popularize it! 🌏
If it wasn’t for this day, maybe Karate wouldn’t exist.
In the background I’m training kata. ✌️
Labforge's Thomas Reidemeister and Guy Martin Tchamgoue @ArrowGlobal University in the Grand Victorian Convention Center, Toronto last night. Martin won two raffles, what are the odds! Also great technology on display. Always good to see our partners and suppliers.
25 years ago, the Sega Dreamcast launched in North America. Today, we’re celebrating with Dreamcast-themed cupcakes and cake! Let us know your favorite Dreamcast game in the comments.
Noo, I was always happy to cut Amazon's distribution margin for commodity items to zero. Looks like this has hit a speed bump...

We’re back, baby!
Our Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time since November 2023. All four instruments – which study plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles – are returning usable science data.

Reminds me of the Eagle disaster, Cadsoft initially had perpetual licenses, too, and then some marketing person had to present a hockeystick and RR model to their new owners at Autodesk. I don't think many will ditch Altium, though.
Why can we no longer own software? A few years ago I bought an @altium Perpetual license, this makes sense for a small company to ensure we do not lose capabilities if there is a bad year etc.
This morning I receive an email saying Altium will stop supporting perpetual licenses and that at the end of my support period the version will freeze unless I move over to time based one.
The email had standard stuff about, supporting customer needs etc. In reality they want to ensure you keep paying.
Looks like Kicad it is then for all out new developments

Sanction would suck for the folks who actually move the most volume. It took non-Chinese vendors quite a while to start considering it. This likely wouldn't have happened with the widespread adoption in China first.

Curious, but folks who know what level of abstraction to code on this might be enough. You probably won't outrun a recent Intel chip but could supply microcontrollers and other ICs. Embedded PowerPC 555 used 350nm.
