Dans le magazine Dengeki-Oh (電撃王) de janvier 1996, il y a une double page avec un prototype de Pippin. Je n’ai pas acheté le magazine, on trouve une numérisation de bonne qualité ici. Le texte lui-même a globalement peu d’intérêt : il explique le principe de la console et ce que Bandai espérait encore fin 1995 (la console est sortie en mars 1996). La double page
Mais la console sur la partie de gauche est un prototype classique, sans marquage et avec une manette dont la boule est sombre. On peut aussi voir une image avec Bandai Town, probablement une version bêta d’Atmark Town. Bandai Town
Sur la partie droite, on voit bien la console sans marquage et avec l'(arrière qui diffère un peu de...

It is common these days to have a soldering iron where you can set the temperature using some sort of digital control. But how accurate is it? Probably pretty accurate, but [TheHWCave] picked up a vintage instrument on eBay that was made to read soldering iron temperature. You can see the video below, which includes an underwhelming teardown.
The device is a J thermocouple and a decidedly vintage analog meter. What’s inside? Nearly nothing. So why did the meter not read correctly? And where is the cold junction compensation? The probe seemed okay when used with a modern meter. However, driving the meter directly showed a problem. It seemed like something was wrong with the meter’s movement.
Pulling the...

[Mike] from Leaded Solder has a soft spot for old computers, and a chance encounter with a friend sent them deep down the deep hole that is the world of 80s and 90s-era Japanese home computers.  Many people playing with these machines have all kinds of issues to deal with, such as rotting cartridges, failing components, and just dirt and mank in critical places. [Mike] decided that working on an MSX-standard custom programmable cartridge would be sensible, but then got stuck on how the MSX cartridge mapping works.
The Konami 128K scheme uses 4 to 4-of-8 mapping.
You may recall that the MSX platform is not a single computer but a standard to which many (mainly Japanese) manufacturers designed their products....

Although we generally assume that opacity is the normal look for animals like us humans, this factoid is only correct for as long as you maintain the dissimilar optical refraction indices of skin and the more aqueous underlying structures. What if you could change the refraction index of skin? If you could prevent the normal scattering at the interface, you could reveal the structures underneath, effectively rendering skin transparent. [Zihao Uo] and others demonstrate this in a paper published in Science.
The substance they used was the common food dye known as tartrazine, which also goes by the names of Yellow 5 and E102 when it is used in food (like Doritos), cosmetics, and drugs. By rubbing the tartrazine...

While version control used to be reserved for big corporate projects, it is very mainstream these days. You can attribute much of that to Git, the software that has nearly displaced other version control. Git works well, it is versatile, and it scales well. It is easy to use as an individual developer or as part of a worldwide team. But Git is also one of those things that people don’t always study, they just sort of “pick it up” as they go. That motivated [Glasskube] to create “The Guide to Git I Never Had.”
If you are ready to click away because you are not a software person, hang on. Git is actually useful for many different kinds of data, and there are a number of hardware projects that use Git...

You can pre-order the $30 Sense Plus Smart Wireless “Anywhere” Switch today, and it should ship in October.

In recent years, rightsholders of major sports events have repeatedly complained that piracy of live sports is rising through the roof.
They’ve called on lawmakers to tighten legislation and urged law enforcement to take the problem much more seriously.
Last month, U.S. authorities took action by seizing several domain names of sports streaming site Streameast, which has millions of monthly users. The seizures were carried out by the book but didn’t achieve the desired effect, as Streameast remains available through alternative domains.
According to the site’s operators, it won’t stop until sports streaming is more affordable to the public. The sweet spot is unknown, but price reduction plans are being...

Disney published posts on Instagram and elsewhere, Variety wrote, pointing DirecTV viewers to alternatives like Spectrum or Disney’s own Hulu with live TV subscription to watch things like the US Open tennis tournament or the upcoming Monday Night Football game between the Jets and the 49ers. Last week, Disney accused DirecTV of “an agreement that undervalues our...

Whenever you buy a servo, it usually comes with a little baggie full of various plastic horns. Most of us pick our favorite and use it in our projects. Some of us hack them up, glue them back together, and do all kinds of weird things with them. And others skip them entirely, going for direct drive instead. In a new video, [Dynamix Systems] explores when going direct drive is the right solution.
The video primarily concerns servos as they’re used in the context of aero modeling. In this regard, the video points out that while stock servo horns are easy to use, they can be cumbersome and clumsy. For example, you often end up with horns and control linkages protruding out into the airstream, adding drag and...

Emmy winning actor Michael Keaton has pretty much done it all: He’s starred in comedies, Oscar winning dramas, critically acclaimed superhero films, and at least one ultra-meta film about an actor who has played a superhero. That last film, Birdman, earned him a Golden Globe in 2014. He also picked up an Emmy in 2021 for his portrayal of an opioid addicted doctor in the miniseries Dopesick. One of Keaton’s most fruitful creative partnerships is the one he’s maintained with filmmaker Tim Burton. The pair have collaborated on two Batman films, 1988’s dark comedy Beetlejuice, and now, the latter film’s long awaited sequel — Beetlejuice Beetlejuice where Keaton stars in the titular role as a profane...

Actor Jason Schwartzman is perhaps best known for his frequent collaborations with director Wes Anderson. These include films such as Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, and Asteroid City. But Schwartzman has thrived outside of Anderson’s world as well. Films like I Heart Huckabees and Marie Antoinette, and TV series including Bored to Death and season 4 of Fargo are just a few of his varied offerings. His latest role places him in the Nathan Silver directed comedy Between the Temples. In the film, Schwartzman portrays a cantor in mourning who reconnects with a former teacher looking to have an adult Bat Mitzvah. Schwartzman tells The Treatment about how his character’s clothes were a metaphor for his...

Nous avons appris vendredi par la presse que le nouveau premier ministre (PM), un certain Michel Barnier (image ci-contre), était arrivé la veille en fin d’après-midi à l’Élysée « à bicyclette ». Cette information nous a semblé du plus grand intérêt. Mais nous nous sommes interrogé illico : pourquoi pas « à vélo » ? Vélo, bicyclette sont-ce des synonymes, deux mots différents désignant la même chose, un peu comme comédien et acteur, gifle et soufflet, idiot et imbécile, renard et goupil, pet et vesse, etc. ?Vélo est l’apocope de vélocipède, mot formé en 1818 (le dictionnaire Robert est précis) sur le latin velox (rapide) auquel on ajouta le suffixe -pède (pied).

La nouvelle Première ministre thaïlandaise Paethongtarn Shinawatra est à 38 ans la femme la plus jeune portée à la tête du gouvernement. Ce n’est pas une garantie de renouveau : Paethongtarn est la fille de Thaksin, qui domine la politique en Thaïlande depuis 20 ans. L’alliance contre nature entre Thaksin, l’armée et la famille royale vise à maintenir un statu quo politique face à des attentes démocratiques fortes, alors que le pays est confronté à de multiples enjeux économiques, sociaux, géopolitiques et environnementaux. C'est aussi la seule nation d’Asie du Sud-Est engluée dans ce que les économistes du développement appellent le "piège du revenu intermédiaire".

« L’expression « il y a une méthode dans sa folie » signifie qu’il existe un but ou un plan derrière le comportement apparemment irrationnel ou fou de quelqu’un. Elle est souvent utilisée pour décrire une personne excentrique ou non conventionnelle, mais qui est en réalité très intelligente et stratégique. Cette expression idiomatique peut être utilisée dans différents contextes. Elle peut être utilisée pour décrire quelqu’un qui se comporte d’une manière qui semble étrange ou hors de son caractère, mais qui travaille en fait à la réalisation d’un objectif spécifique. Elle peut également être utilisée pour décrire quelqu’un qui est...
