This is an insane detail in this report on cheating! nymag.com/intelligence...

In the meantime, many schools have turned to surveillance.
Owen, a junior at Princeton
familiar with its Honor Committee, says the school often catches AI cheats by spying on internet use. Students' browsing histories are pulled from the campus network and scanned for recent visits to ChatGPT or Claude. If you whipped out your phone during a quiz, accessing a model on the building's Wi-Fi, you will likely be busted. While every case requires multiple pieces of evidence, and Princeton says it does not pull students' search histories unless they are already under investigation, Owen says the network logs have become critical in proving academic dishonesty. Every case he's been aware of lately has leaned on them.

An automotive neon spark tester doubles as a great CRT high voltage indicator!

Here's a video I took of our setup form #vcfwest - 8000 Dandelion, two 6085 Daybreaks, 1100 Dolphin, Dicentra sitting on top, and finally the Alto. Thanks to everyone who stopped by - @dectape.bsky.social and I had a great show!

Next weekend Josh and I will be giving a demo of Xerox systems at VCF West - every generation of computer hardware they sold form the Alto, to the Dorado, the Dolphin, Dandelion, and Daybreak. A rare chance to see the whole lineage in one place - working!

Here's the laser path on a 1981 Xerox 8040 Electronic Printer - the one sold with the Star office system. Note the helium neon laser - a modulator bends the beam. That's why there appear to be 2 beams in the photo. Light strikes the spinning polygon mirror causing it to scan.

Watching Adrian begin to scope the amount of work he's got going on that Lisa's I/O board reminds me of the job I had to do a few years back where it was easier to just strip that corner of the board, remove the failing masking and replace traces and sockets as per the schematic.

I'm using @celgen.org 's method for making KeyTronic keyboard foams. Double stick truck bed topper tape, and Mylar. Omit the mounting circle, just double stick them to the key sliders!

Mr. Macintosh @mrmacintosh.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Today is a very sad day for the Apple community Bill Atkinson has died at the age of 74 😢 He was Apple employee number 51 & the principal designer & developer of the Lisa GUI. He was also among the first 30 members of the original Apple Macintosh development team. He was a true programing legend.🫡

Bill Atkinson was one of the most brilliant, imaginative, and compelling people I ever had the privilege to work with. His vision touched every device you use today. And his heart, his open love and humanity, exceeded all of that.
