We fixed the vintage IBM printer at the Computer History Museum yesterday. Introduced in 1959, the IBM 1403 line printer provided fast, high-quality output, printing 132 character lines. Unfortunately, one column stopped printing, so we disassembled the printer to fix a bad hammer. Keep reading...

The IBM 1403 line printer is a large unit on a stand, printing on green-bar paper that feeds in at the bottom. The printer is dark gray with a clear plastic cover over the paper and a blue panel at the left with a few control buttons. Behind the printer, three 729 tape drives are visible, each about the size of a refrigerator. The IBM 1401 computer is partially visible at the right, about the size of two refrigerators. It has a control panel with lights, switches, and knobs.

Figured out how to do finite element analysis in #freecad over the weekend. The part is a really simple surfboard holder of my own design. The model even uses PLA as the material from a preset in the FEM desktop. Gonna need to reinforce it I think.. But having this ability not encumbered by a for-pay licensing scheme is astonishing!

A screenshot from the open source cad application freecad showing a designed simple bracket part with coloration from red to yellow to green to indicate stress on the part, with some force arrows indicating the direction of load.

Your blinds? What about 'em?

Photo of a cat that's hanging in the middle of some windows blinds that have been pulled down and ruined by some unknown force. Hey, at least they used as a kitty hammock now (Always gonna look at the bright side of things)...

the "All Modern digital infrastructure" XKCD. It features a tower made up of all kinds of carefully placed boxes in a tower formation that could fall at any moment.

To the right, an angry birds slingshot pointed at the tower, with an arrow and text pointing to it saying "AI"

World War 2 & Vietnam War lasted a combined 27 years, or just shy of 10,000 days. In that time, a total of 132 journalists were killed.

Israel has sieged Gaza for just under 700 days & killed 242+ journalists.

This violates Art 79 of Add’l Protocol (I) of Geneva Conventions.

These Are War Crimes.

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

This one needs to go viral. Aged well huh?

The image is a screenshot of a tweet by Donald Trump from 11/10/2013 that reads:
'Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!'
