USB to serial adapters, 2007 vs 2025. The hardware gets worse but the transparent-blue aesthetic never dies.

Woo, weird old card reader for a weird old niche SRAM card... maybe. I think this goes with their ML-64PC and similar cards used in industrial control equipment, but at least one seller in the past has called it a PCMCIA reader so I'm not sure...

There are multiple cursed things going on here. Two XA sockets, three XH plugs with the locking tab things shaved off. Power going in where power is supposed to come out. I don't even know if this is enough to access the debug console but it should be if they designed it sensibly.

Unusual colored translucent TO-92 packages!
These are current-regulating diodes of various types, made by LED manufacturer OptoSupply. They don't emit light on their own but are used in LED driver circuits.
They likely repurposed a diffused LED production line to make color-coded packages.

I should definitely be doing this with baked samples at this point but... SID filters in XM sounding better than expected.

Remember folks if you use software emulation it'll sound like shit. Nope there's never been a single note that sounded good from software it's just not possible. You're lying to yourself. Buy the thing. Plug it into your $30000 amplifier. Pour the snake oil directly into your ears. /s

Hotplate cooked its pogo pins. It's not a good design using these pins at like 3 amps but it is what it is. I'll probably just order a pack of the same pins and replace them when they fail again. It's not easy to solder to the alu-core plate and wires would make it much harder to assemble anyway.

They finally did it, you can finally run bad apple on a bootleg famicom cartridge.

With my insistence on continuing to use vegas pro 13 instead of learning resolve (which I installed last year)... Maybe I should at least start using nested timelines instead of doing *this*...

The google AI thingy is now treating redbubble as a source of information. The image I was searching barely resembles the image from that page btw. I mish when lens was actually kinda useful.
