Columbia wasn’t just a technical failure — it was a structural one.

This analysis maps how a small, unresolved boundary breach persisted across time, creating the illusion of stability… until the system was exposed to conditions it could no longer withstand.

Failure isn’t always immediate. Sometimes it waits.

Yo all, it is Friday now where I am, so might as well get the #nakeddiefriday thing going.

Today's guest is the famous NES PPU chip, RP2C07A by Ricoh. What's interesting about this particular sample is that it's very very dead. Many thanks to @root42 for supplying it!

As always, a short thread follows. Why not give this one a boost while you're here? :D

Note the die is oriented the same way Visual 2C02 has it: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Visual_2C02

"The best way of outwitting the many dangers, the experts agreed, would have been to subject Titan to rigorous testing under the anticipated conditions and stresses."

I think you could substitute any product name for "Titan" in the above sentence and it would be true, but then I work in Test & Measurement.

There once was a scientist named Max
Who studied EBIRCH with his team of cracks
They found that a beam
Would make metal gleam
And its resistance would quickly relax
