Apple should bring back the translucent-brown key caps. They’re awesome.

I would like to learn more about the “hack”. Although I doubt a CVE will be issued.

I can only assume it’s a simple serial console port left open, and a service technician toolset was leaked with the commands to open the cash dispenser.

In this case, Louis Slotin was the safety mechanism. Different times…

I’m currently reading Command and Control which dives into nuclear safety and more interestingly, accidents. I recommend it: https://books.google.com/books/about/Command_and_Control.htm...

I had a professor in undergrad who scheduled his classes as early as possible, around 7:30am, because he was an early riser.

Notoriously known for difficult assignments and exams, he would allow extra time for tests, if we showed up an extra half hour early. Who wants to take an exam at 7am?! There was a massive curve to everyone’s grades.

EA. Other EV owners (Bolt) have run into the same issue at EA chargers as mentioned in the article.

I’m somewhat surprised there aren’t more EV (DC) charging companies around.

There are dozens of various oil companies who have their own gas stations (subsidized by the oil industry?). Why don’t we see more electric companies building their own charging networks as well?

I read this book a couple years ago, it’s great. In fact, I picked up the book 2nd hand with a note from the author inscribed on a cover page. Neat.

This book is especially interesting to anyone building systems where humans are required to interface with a computer on a “mission-critical” level.

It goes in-depth about the new type of electrical component-integrated circuits used in the guidance system. And more about other aspects of the navigation systems used on Apollo.

I recommend.
