I made a s32 unix time clock. Each hand represents the value of one octet of the timestamp, as a signed 32-bit integer. The year 2038 rollover happens when the "red" hand hits 0x80, pointing straight down.

Why is Rosetta 2 fast?

Rosetta 2 is remarkably fast when compared to other x86-on-ARM emulators. Iโ€™ve spent a little time looking at how it works, out of idle curiosity, and found it to be quite unusual, so I figurโ€ฆ

New blog! Tied to an obscure games console built into early-2000s DVD players, Jeff Minter's Tempest 3000 is an elusive experience that, for me, was well worth the wait! https://gamesfromtheblackhole.wordpress.com/2022/11/20/tempest-3000-welcome-to-the-machine/
Tempest 3000 โ€“ Welcome to the machine

Some time in the early 2000s, I remember reading an anniversary issue of EDGE magazine that statistically determined which was the best games console available, based entirely on the average score โ€ฆ

Ethernet | RJ45 clip to secure/repair/fix broken tab by guss67

This clip was design to fix/repair/secure the broken or loose tab of a RJ45 Ethernet connector and avoid crimping. Designed to prevent from moving, wiggling, falling from the connector and easy to install.UPDATE v.4.9 | 28/01/2021Added the 3 following files which have slightly wider body (0.25mm) than 4.7 version and small upgrade on the tip.1. "4.9.nf.supported" (extension) comes "with supports" for the ones are not very familiar with. But I still prefer S3D's supports.2. "4.9.nf" (extension) with "no fillet", to make it easier printing with supports.3. "4.9" (extension) with fillet, for "smooth edges". On FDM printers isn't that much noticeable.UPDATE v.4.7 | 01/01/2021Added another version with "no fillet" (".nf" extension), actually it has sharp edges to make it easier printing with supports.PrintingSuggested printing orientation is the one as the files are stored, why?Printing the tab from the base to the tip in X-Y axis makes it stronger and more flexible since its printed in one continued string.If you change the orientation with the tip on top then tab's base will start from the bottom and builds up while the Z axis is sticking the rest of it till the tip. With this orientation the tab has more possibilities to brake since Z layers don't bond the same as the method I suggested.*If you have another solution let me know.Supports Supports needed and you need to be experienced with good slicer settings. Also attention needed when removing them from the actual print.Or you can print the file with "4.9.nf.supported" (extension) which comes with supports. But I still prefer S3D's supports.Installation note:1.Before install the "printed clip" check the left overs of the broken tab. If it is too long the tip of the "printed clip" might not click underneath the left-over. So, I suggest to leave a length of the broken tab about "0,5-1,0mm". If the broken tad left-over is to small or cuted flash then the printed one might not click and hopefully that would work well, haven't tested that scenario.2.Follow the sketches to install the "printed clip", also while sliding in if you find it a bit hard some wiggling might help.*You may call it the "ScorpioNet" or "Devil's Network Tail"!

Musk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."

I spelled Jurassic Park cast wrong in Google and found something infinitely better.
