The Queramin is a QWERTY Theremin with a C-64 Heart
While we have nothing against other 1980s 8-bit machines, the Commodore 64 has always been something special. A case in point: another new instrument using the C-64 and its beloved SID chip. Not just new to retrocomputing, either, but new entirely. [Linus Åkesson] has invented the QWERTY Theremin, and there’s a Commodore at its core.
If this project sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because it’s based off of the C-64 Theremin [Linus] built a couple of years back. According to [Linus], there were a few issues with the instrument. A real thereminist told him there were issues with the volume response; his own experience taught him that theremins are very, very hard to play for the uninitiated.
This model fixes both problems: first, the volume circuit now includes a pair of digital-analog-converters (DACs) connected to the Commodore’s user port, allowing smooth and responsive volume control.In this case the DAC is being used solely for volume control: SID provides the analog reference voltage, while the 12-bit digital input served as volume control. That proved noisy, however, thanks to the DC bias voltage of the audio output being scaled by the DAC even when the SID was silent. A second DAC was the answer, providing a signal to cancel out the scaled bias voltage. That in and of itself is a clever hack.
The biggest change is that this instrument no longer plays like a theremin. Pitch has been taken out of the 555-based antenna circuit entirely; while vertical distance from the spoon-antenna still controls volume as in a regular theremin and the last version, the horizontal distance from the second antenna (still a clamp) now controls vibrato. Pitch is now controlled by the QWERTY keyboard. That’s a much easier arrangement for [Linus] — this isn’t his first chiptune QWERTY instrument, after all.

Gazzetta del Cadavere reshared this.
Desperado (1995) on VHS.
The film that launched Antonio Banderas into Hollywood stardom—and he does it with pure swagger.
Back in the day, people drew comparisons to Pulp Fiction. Sure, Tarantino shows up in a cameo, and Rodriguez would go on to collaborate with him plenty. But this movie carves out its own identity.
Nothing beats the sight of a lone mariachi with a guitar case full of firepower. Wall-to-wall shootouts, slick style, and a soundtrack that absolutely smolders.

Asking for the sense of the fediverse:
I'm in a very sparsely populated area, for local news we're (sort of) served by an on-line news site with posts by mostly volunteer reporters.
Today one of the reporters posted news on wastewater issues in the county seat. She cited, and quoted extensively from, a Google AI overview, and included an AI generated illustration. Do I:
1) contact her by email (which she provided) noting that Google AI is not a reputable, verifiable source of information? And that AI-generated illustrations are environmentally disastrous and a bad idea in journalism?
2) reply in the public comment section for that article that Google AI is not a reputable, verifiable source of information? And that AI-generated illustrations are environmentally disastrous and a bad idea in journalism?
3) ignore it, because it's not my job to try to educate those who don't really want to be educated?
What do you think? And, what would you do?
Hell, I'd settle with knowing where that is stored an kludging a fix with a damn cron script to copy a correct config file back where it belong or something!
If you are interested I can add you into the Seattle Matrix Linux channel. Lots of fellow Linux enthusiasts. In the General as well.
It was the West Seattle LUG channel but we disbanded the club. 🙁
OK Sooo I had assumed you had a Matrix account as I saw you in the Furi Labs channel but it appears you were coming in via Telegram bridge.
Do you have a matrix handle yet?
Does it Make Sense to Upgrade a Prusa MK4S to a Core One?
One of the interesting things about Prusa’s FDM 3D printers is the availability of official upgrade kits, which allow you to combine bits off an older machine with those of the target machine to ideally save some money and not have an old machine gathering dust after the upgrade. While for a bedslinger-to-bedslinger upgrade this can make a lot of sense, the bedslinger to CoreXY Core One upgrade path is a bit more drastic. Recently the [Aurora Tech] channel had a look at which upgrade path makes the most sense, and in which scenario.
A big part of the comparison is the time and money spent compared to the print result, as you have effectively four options. Either you stick with the MK4S, get the DIY Core One (~8 hours of assembly time), get the pre-assembled Core One (more $$), or get the upgrade kit (also ~8 hours). There’s also the fifth option of getting the enclosure for the MK4S, but it costs about as much as the upgrade kit, so that doesn’t make a lot of logical sense.
In terms of print quality, it’s undeniable that the CoreXY motion system provides better results, with less ringing and better quality with tall prints, but unless you’re printing more than basic PLA and PETG, or care a lot about the faster print speeds of the CoreXY machine with large prints, the fully enclosed Core One is a bit overkill and sticking with the bedslinger may be the better choice.
The long and short of it is that you have look at each option and consider what works best for your needs and your wallet.
