Modern Tech Meets Retro 7-Segment
At one point in time mechanical seven segment displays were ubiquitous, over time many places have replaced them with other types of displays. [Sebastian] has a soft spot for these old mechanically actuated displays and has built an open-source 7-segment display with some very nice features.
Weโve seen a good number of DIY 7-segment displays on this site before, the way [Sebastian] went about it resulted in a beautiful well thought out result. The case is 3D printed, and although there are two colors used it doesnโt require a multicolor 3d printer to make your own. The real magic in this build revolves around the custom PCB he designed. Instead of using a separate electromagnets to move each flap, the PCB has coil traces used to toggle the flaps. The smart placement of a few small screws allows the small magnets in each flap to hold the flap in that position even when the coils are off, greatly cutting down the power needed for this display. He also used a modular design where one block has the ESP32 and RTC, but for the additional blocks those components can remain unpopulated.
The work he put into this project didnโt stop at the hardware, the software also has a great number of thoughtful features. The ESP32 running the display hosts a website which allows you to configure some of the many features: the real-time clock, MQTT support, timer, custom API functions, firmware updates. The end result is a highly customizable, display that sounds awesome every time it updates. Be sure to check out the video below as well as his site to see this awesome display in action. Also check out some of the other 7-segment displays weโve featured before.

Having watched Deathrace 2000 (the original) recently, It bothers me that we didn't heed the warnings. The theme of a religious president sponsoring a sporting event to literally kill the innocents and celebrated by most doesn't seem like a big stretch today. A small group of resistance that is split between peaceful resistance and violence makes concerted efforts to capture/kill a man that is secretly on their side seems quite accurate with how activism seems to work these days.
But then getting points for running over pedestrians is the thing most people remember about the movie.

More than 77 years since the Zionist project was planted at the heart of the Arab and Islamic world, and despite enjoying unprecedented military, political and financial support from the West, particularly the United States, Israel remains a fragile entity.
For all the rhetoric portraying it as a military and technological powerhouse, its survival still hinges on foreign intervention.

The US attack on Iranian nuclear sites does not comply with international law, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said Monday.
Speaking to Norwayโs NTB news agency, Gahr Store said: โIt is not in line with international law to carry out such an attack.โ
He added that the strike has further complicated the situation in the Middle East and left the UN Security Council effectively paralyzed.

If a regime change is to happen in Iran, it should happen from within Iran, according to Taoiseach Micheรกl Martin.
He was reacting to the weekend decision by the US to send planes and submarines into Iran to attack sites linked to Iranโs nuclear programme, in Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.
It came after Israel launched strikes on Iran 10 days earlier, also targeting the countryโs nuclear programme.

Asรญ era Espaรฑa cuando yo nacรญ: La Espaรฑa de 1975
ยกInteresante propuesta! Hablar de la Espaรฑa de 1975 es sumergirse en un momento histรณrico clave: un paรญs en transiciรณn, lleno de tensiones, esperanzas y contradicciones. Aquรญ tienes un resumen de cรณmo era esa Espaรฑa en diferentes aspectos:
๐ช๐ธ Asรญ era Espaรฑa en 1975
๐๏ธ Contexto polรญtico
รltimo aรฑo del franquismo: Francisco Franco muriรณ el 20 de noviembre de 1975, tras casi 40 aรฑos en el poder. Ese aรฑo fue el final de una dictadura y el inicio de una transformaciรณn histรณrica. Prรญncipe Juan Carlos fue proclamado Rey de Espaรฑa el 22 de noviembre de 1975, con promesas de apertura democrรกtica, aunque todavรญa con muchas incertidumbres. Existรญa una fรฉrrea censura, represiรณn polรญtica y limitaciones severas a la libertad de prensa, expresiรณn y asociaciรณn.
๐๏ธ Sociedad
Una sociedad todavรญa conservadora y tradicionalista, marcada por la influencia de la Iglesia y el nacionalcatolicismo. Se vivรญa en muchos hogares con roles de gรฉnero tradicionales: el hombre proveedor, la mujer dedicada al hogar (legalmente, las mujeres aรบn necesitaban permiso del marido para muchas gestiones). El divorcio, el aborto o el matrimonio civil eran ilegales o extremadamente limitados.
๐บ Cultura y medios
Solo habรญa dos canales de televisiรณn (TVE 1 y TVE 2), y todos los programas pasaban por censura previa. Programas como Un, dos, tresโฆ o Estudio 1 eran populares, y las pelรญculas extranjeras solรญan doblarse con censura incluida. La mรบsica espaรฑola estaba dominada por cantantes como Raphael, Camilo Sesto, Rocรญo Jurado, Nino Bravo (aunque habรญa muerto en 1973), mientras surgรญa una canciรณn protesta semiclandestina.
๐๏ธ Economรญa
Espaรฑa estaba saliendo del llamado โmilagro econรณmico espaรฑolโ (1959-1973), pero empezaba a sufrir los efectos de la crisis del petrรณleo. La inflaciรณn y el desempleo comenzaban a preocupar, aunque aรบn existรญa un cierto bienestar en clases medias urbanas. Muchas familias aรบn vivรญan del campo o en zonas rurales, aunque la emigraciรณn hacia las ciudades (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbaoโฆ) habรญa sido intensa durante los 60.
๐ Vida cotidiana
La vida era mรกs austera: muchos hogares no tenรญan aรบn telรฉfono, coche o televisiรณn a color. El Seat 600 fue el coche mรกs emblemรกtico de esa generaciรณn. El ocio era mรกs familiar o comunitario: ir al cine, salir al bar, la misa, las fiestas del puebloโฆ La moda empezaba a cambiar: los jรณvenes imitaban el estilo hippie o pop europeo, aunque con restricciones impuestas por el rรฉgimen.
๐ Espaรฑa en el mundo
Espaรฑa era todavรญa un paรญs aislado de Europa, sin pertenencia a la CEE (hoy UE), ni a la OTAN. En octubre de 1975 se produjo la Marcha Verde: Marruecos ocupรณ el Sรกhara Occidental ante una Espaรฑa debilitada por la enfermedad de Franco, dejando un conflicto que aรบn hoy sigue vivo.
โจ En resumen:
La Espaรฑa de 1975 era una naciรณn en el borde del cambio: terminaba una larga dictadura y nacรญa una esperanza democrรกtica, aunque todavรญa bajo muchas sombras. Un paรญs de contrastes, donde lo antiguo y lo nuevo chocaban constantemente.
An AI video ad is making a splash. Is it the future of advertising?
In just 30 seconds, the video sprints from one unlikely scenario to another: a pot-bellied partier cradles a Chihuahua; a bride flees police on a golf cart; a farmer luxuriates in a pool full of eggs. Oddball details fill the screen, like a sign reading "Fresh Manatee.""Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible," the video's creator, P.J. Accetturo, said on X.
The Kalshi ad had a high-profile debut, appearing in the YouTube TV stream of Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 11. That placement, and the over-the-top content, might suggest weeks of work by a team of ad agency creatives, film crews and actors at far-flung locations. But Accetturo says he used AI tools instead, taking just two days to create an ad whose tone flits between internet memes and Grand Theft Auto.

The image shows two shirtless men engaged in a workout. The man on the left is running on a treadmill, wearing orange shorts and a black cap, with a smartphone attached to the treadmill handlebars. The man on the right is doing push-ups on a bar, wearing white shorts. The background features a large red and black sign with the word "FIDA" visible. The text at the top of the image reads, "How me and the bros warm up before we start beating to lebron pictures together in a public library."

The video begins with a scene in a school hallway, where a person with blonde hair and a green shirt is walking towards the camera, carrying a backpack. The hallway is lined with blue lockers, and other students are visible in the background. The scene transitions to another individual wearing a light blue hoodie and a backpack, who approaches the first person. They stop and face each other, engaging in a conversation. The background shows a door labeled "BOYS ROOM." The camera zooms in on their hands, revealing a pack of cigarettes in the pocket of the person in the hoodie. The text "Smoking?" appears on the screen, followed by "or Gay?" as the camera focuses on the pack of cigarettes. The video concludes with the text "It's Gay to Smoke" displayed on a black background.
