random thought: has there ever been a non-bootleg instance of a game being released on one console, and then a sequel to the game being released on an *older* console and *not* the same one as the first game? like previous generation, not just "competitor that came out a day earlier"

there's one person on the electrical engineering stack exchange who seems to have some kind of personal grievance with the idea that it could possibly be useful to consider a bjt as a current-controlled device and it really bugs me

oh we've known for a while that commercial LED bulbs are generally hugely overdriving the LEDs but it took seeing a video from bigclive about how they aren't allowed to anymore in Dubai for us to realize that this was intentional and not a result of poor design or cost-cutting measures

we might be a little too trusting sometimes....

our experience with restaurants here so far has been largely of the 'extra spicy means it was in the general vicinity of a jalapeño once' variety but wow this restaurant is different

ah, apparently the right are now blaming the capitol attack on leftists, either saying they were a bunch of leftists pretending to be white supremacists or saying that the attackers were tricked into it by leftists

at work today, an electrician our boss had called came in. we showed him around and pointed out the things we needed done, then he left to get supplies... and never came back. we called the company and they said he cancelled the appointment.

anyone have any idea what could have happened here? just someone shirking work, or do you think this is likely to be someone scoping out the place for a robbery or something?

It's come to our attention just now that we understand what people mean when they say a place feels sacred, or holy.

oh this is neat, apparently the yamaha dx7 achieved its 15-bit digital audio by using a 12-bit DAC and wiring a 3-bit DAC (actually an 8-to-1 analog multiplexer with a resistor ladder on its inputs) into its reference voltage.

it also ran the DAC at 800 kHz and multiplexed its output across sixteen voices for an effective 50 kHz per voice
