i’m a software engineer with an affinity for early computing technology. send in asks about your favorite computer, or just browse my blog for now—everyone’s welcome so long as you’ve got a passion for technology in your heart :]
sometimes i post other stuff but this blog is mainly puters
computer/robot blinkies ;]
when u plug a phone into a computer the comupter always charges the phone even if she has less charge than the phone bc the computer thinks that due to her size she always needs to provide for those smaller than her even when it hurts her more than it helps others. btw
Robots will save me in these trying times.
i think i censored the only part that would get me in trouble. hopefully.
me if u even care
My three girlfriends. Yes, they smoke weed.
i don’t know how to explain this other than i get made fun of in the discord server for liking robots a little too much

This does not even begin to cover the weirdness of cathode ray televisions.
They are literally particle accelerators that you point at your face.
And for eighty years, Americans' favorite thing to do was turn them on and stare at them for hours.
If you overcharge them, they emit gamma radiation.
Servicing them is like disarming a bomb -- their capacitors are enormous and are usually charged to hundreds or thousands of volts, and most of them have no bleed system that drains that charge, meaning that they can still be dangerous months or years after the last time they were powered up. A discharge can not only electrocute you, it can cause tools to melt or explode.
A black-and-white cathode ray TV driven by an unmodulated analog signal is theoretically capable of resolution that would require a microscope to perceive.
Old school CRT monitors had the same issues.
Back when, I worked at a small whitebox pc manufacturer. One day, a service tech brought back an older, gigantic (30 inch or so) AutoCAD monitor from a service call. The customer said "Made me feel nauseous"
So, we put it on the bench and fired it up. You immediately felt the hair on your body stand up, and my co worker put his hand up close to turn the power off, and his hand and forearm started spasming - I yanked the power cord from the wall as the tingle I was feeling began to feel hot.
No idea what was wrong with the thing, but it was kicking out some serious electro magnetic radiation.
Remembering the almost imperceptible high pitched buzzing that let you know the tv was still on even when nothing was on the screen. Also putting your forearm near the screen and watching the hairs stand up
The little crackle if you touched the screen to wipe it...
Omg no one's even talking about the smell of the screen
This is both horrifying to read and nostalgic
This is confusing me, is this not talking about them being attractive

With its new title in place, this issue carried on much as it had before, with more Apple II programs joining the PET and TRS-80 coverage and a "slightly abridged" version of Jules Verne's story "In the Year 2889."
