ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 30/08/2026My mom recorded every episode onto Betamax off the air. I still have all of the tapes. Digitized them. 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I have a very similar setup (even down to the round grille!) but it’s dumping into my little server room instead. There are several air outlets from there for circulation. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Damn I was hoping for another installment of “let’s try it on 240v” 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I, with the help of a friend and ChatGPT, fixed a tektronix RM529 waveform monitor the other day. Broke about 15 years ago. Ended up being 2 open resistors. Maybe I should do a channel! 100
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Let him fly it and do laps over Iran and North Korea. Maybe we’ll get lucky. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I wondered about this as an owner of 3 “phone key” cars but apparently at least this brand has better than average anti theft rates. You can argue the practicality of having to buy a $500 key fob vs a $20 card or use your own phone as one. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I’m a 3x Tesla owner and the Slate looks very appealing to me. 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 11/07/2026That’s what slate is after. And I’ve said this for years just make a cheap ev with am/fm/cassette lol 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 29/06/2026@techconnectify.bsky.social lots to unpack here but seems the UK is very much “pro ceiling fans” youtu.be/7WSrC3X3Wf0?...youtu.beUK residents told to remove air conditioning to comply with regulationsYouTube video by Sky News Australia 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I was always excited to see the color bars test pattern. Even the stations in NYC when I was little did this. Early 80s. Tape automation made it possible to stay on 24/7. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 04/06/2026So that’s Kelly’s blue book. How much is a 2004 suburu impreza? 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Ironically I’m reading this inside a datacenter. But it doesn’t use water. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/06/2026OMG I HAVE THIS EXACT CASE STILL IN STORAGE!! 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I was just on the subway in Tokyo and they have areas of some cars that are “cell phone free” as in everyone just stares at the floor. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/06/2026My “T” car dings when the light turns green. Usually. 110
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I have a seismograph located about 30 miles from the entry and didn’t pick anything up. But I have footage of my kid coming inside and hearing it. Says it shook the house. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Both work but yes the pc duster is just refrigerant. I worked at a place that went through cans and cans of it so I expensed an air compressor to replace it. Probably saved 200 cans. 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Cookie at the bottom of my laptop bag. And im a senior mgr in IT too. Supposed to set an example 😂 050
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 26/05/2026My dad has been talking about this since the early 80s! I remember the first “CFL” he brought home and put in the dining room light, a long PL style bulb sticking out the top lol. Long before the swirly kind. 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Some compressed air works well too. I’m infamous for getting COOKIE stuck in one at work. 250
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 16/05/2026What does it mean when prices are negative like they are today? Should they be paying me to charge my car? 110
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I picked a good day then to run my electric oven in cleaning mode! 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I’m not buying my kid a $500 GPU when I can just change his dedicated video ram to meet the specs. Don’t bios setting shame me! 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 15/05/2026And almost as gay as emissions controls. MERICA 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I’m in an antique lightbulb fb group (yep) and there are occasional posts showing a failed LED in public and the proclamation that SEE THIS IS WHY LEDS SUCK THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH (previous tech). Ok buddy. 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 15/05/2026What I have noticed is that some of the anti EV crowd NOW accepts the hybrid as “the solution.” When presented with an all around better technology, they still want to cling to the one step behind. 010
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I just retired last week my home automation system which ran on windows xp since 2004. It was a vm but still. 110
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 12/05/2026You test the cables so we don’t have to! 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Has at least one set of truck nuts on one of his trucks 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 04/05/2026YES! And imagine if EVs were the standard and the car industry tried to sell us on gas? Hey forget your ev get a gas car, it’s less efficient, costs more to maintain, needs frequent maintenance, oh, and you have to go to a PLACE to get fuel for it and the price can change wildly. 011
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I saw a YouTube vid about west VA electric prices exceeding people’s rent / mortgage because they rely on 80% coal. My reaction is “you are the architect of your own misfortune” 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 08/04/2026I can’t wait to accidentally peel part of the screen because i thought it was shipping film. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 07/04/2026I’ve had a few people say to me that it’s a waste of money when we should be doing X instead. And I just say, why not do both? Why is it one or the other? (False dichotomy) 160
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Lol this story came up last week when I ate at a Waffle House. Can’t remember how I got there though… 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026lol! I am going through a divorce and the best part is going to my ex’s and having her slam the door in my face. 020
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I’ve been following the non-Tesla charging network stuff via the “state of charge” channel. I’ve also thought of a future where batteries are *so cheap* you could have one at home that slowly charges and should you need to dc fast charge at home, it just dumps that battery charge into your car. 150
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Honey what are you doing? Oh I’m just discussing voltages on the Internet again. 1222
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Admittedly I had to google the usage of the word “stans” I thought it was a typo lol. I’m probably not classified as a Stan. I’m more like Dorothy’s ex husband Stan. 380
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Arstechnica wrote an interesting article about this recently. They mention not a huge increase in 800v EVs by 2030 which is kinda surprising. arstechnica.com/cars/2026/03...arstechnica.comDoubling the voltage: What 800 V architecture really changes in EVsConfused about electric vehicle voltages? You won't be after reading this. 000
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Their 800v vehicle is also embarrassing. Hopefully they will announce something this year, if they want to stay competitive. 110
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I wonder what the cost will be to do it… I’d imagine new (or reconfigured?) rectifiers and also cables rated for it. And be able to do both voltages. Probably in the hundreds of millions. 100
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026According to the AI it’s about 8-12% and seems to be increasing quickly. 001
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 02/04/2026As a proud Tesla Stan, I do agree! Although how many cars on the road today are 800v? 401
ntsecrets.bsky.social @ntsecrets.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Remember all the ppl saying hydrogen cars were the future? I’d look at them and say “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but electricity is everywhere” 000
