At this point, I'm 100% convinced that these cheap Chinese brands on Amazon are just haphazardly tossing random letters together and calling it a brand name.
They literally are. From what I understand, Amazon requires sellers to have registered trademarks and it's easier to trademark a random string of letters. They don't need brand recognition because people aren't searching for the brand, just the product.
Cassidy said it surprised him that Kennedy would think so highly of Operation Warp Speed when the health secretary has attempted to restrict access to the vaccines and cancelled funding for mRNA vaccine research that was critical to the initiative's …
A curve tracer is a piece of equipment which plots I-V (current vs voltage) curves, among other things. This old bit of Tektronix kit is rocking a CRT, which dates it. According to TekWiki the Tektronix 577 was introduced in 1972.
In this repair video [Jerry] goes to use his Tektronix 577 only to discover that it is nonfunctional. He begins his investigation by popping off the back cover and checking out the voltages across the voltage rails. His investigations suggest a short circuit. He pushes on that which means he has to remove the side panel to follow a lead into the guts of the machine.
Then, in order to find the shorted component he suspect exists, [Jerry] breaks out the old thermal cam. And the thermal cam leads to the fault: a shorted tantalum capacitor, just as he suspected to begin with! After replacing the shorted tantalum capacitor this old workhorse is like new.
There are probably quite a number of repair lessons in this video, but we think that an important takeaway is just how useful a thermal camera can be when it comes time for fault finding. If you’re interested in electronics repair a thermal cam is a good trick to have up your sleeve, it excels at finding short circuits.

For #Caturday: this is my best friend's cat. As a joke, I sent a shoe cover you are supposed to wear around the house to dust the floors. Her cat insists on wearing it on her head and will cry for her "wig" to be put on, if she sees it.
Civil servants see their work as a calling. But under Trump’s second term, with their jobs upended and u-turns on policy, tens of thousands are being forced to ask: stay, speak up or leave?
Federal workers face unique challenges. But part of their dilemma is familiar to many Americans who have to wrestle with dramatic changes in the workplace.
The Bulwark’s Will Sommer reports young MAGA activists appear to be breaking away from their elders when it comes to their support for President Donald Trump.
The president is not dead. Trump spoke live at the White House on Sept. 2. Even as rumors of his death went viral, he had been photographed by news outlets and his Truth Social posts racked up thousands of interactions.

Getting a bunch of exposure to Fox News during my travels today. I am again reminded why Republicans and Democrats don’t have a shared reality any longer. Murdoch and the right wing billion propagandists deserve an eternity in hell for what they are doing. Shame I’m an atheist so don’t believe in it. #uspoli #rant
Neighbor was listening to Fox - perspective was that the court is trying to stop tariffs that will allow Trump to fix our trade imbalance. We are going to have to hit financial rock bottom.

Soon a generation of programmers will grow up who never experienced the time of normal hiring through ONE interview. And it'll be like that joke about the monkeys in a cage who beat each other up when someone tries to get a banana, just "because that's how it's done here."
Step aside KPop Demon Hunters, there’s a new power-trio in town! Maybe we could call them the Metal Vampire Slayers?
Yep, three of the biggest voices in metal, all in one track:

Veteran Rep. Brad Sherman is a major crypto skeptic — and industry insiders are supporting his youthful primary opponents. theintercept.com/2025/09/04/br…
I want to get it out there for the record that while I _absolutely_ would expect something like this out of Trump's DOJ, James O'Keefe is no more trustworthy or reliable now than he was when he was heading up Project Veritas, and people REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER THAT.
Here is yet another stunning image taken by the Webb telescope.
The blue half of the image contains the star cluster named Pismis 24, which resides in the core of the Lobster Nebula (aka NGC 6357), ~5,500 light-years away, within our Milky Way galaxy.
At the heart of the glittering cluster is binary star Pismis 24-1, 74 and 66 solar masses resp.

Star Wars episode IX originally featured an Asian jedi who wielded lightsaber chopsticks like these, but the character was cut after focus groups found it to be "unbelievably racist".
For knife, why not, because it's to cut. Isn't it? So, for chopsticks, first you will hurt a lot using them like on the pics, and, you can't pick anything with them.
