Ep 45 & 46: Xbox Underground

Ep 92: The Pirate Bay

Both are fantastic.

Steven Seagal fatly going around corners.

Noted!

Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.

Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn’t know I needed.

Thanks!

Well written.

I think an important concept to introduce is Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM for short.

Normal AC Power coming out of wall looks like a sine wave, in that it smoothly cycles between +110/240V and -110/240V. This means that 50% of the time the voltage is positive and 50% of the time the voltage is negative.

PWM usually deals with signals which are either entirely on or off, with no transiton between them. This way, you can vary the amount of “power” delivered by varying how much of the time the signal is on and how much of the time it’s off.

Dimmers usually modify the sine way in a way that tries to accomplish the same thing, by chopping up the signal to make the effective “on” time be shorter than 50%.

With non-dimmable LEDs, this messes with the AC to DC circuitry in the lamp in the way slazer2au says, because the lamp doesn’t retain enough power between two on-cycles to stay on.

It is. I still wish it “Politics” would default to WorldPolitics" and USPolitics was it’s own thing, instead of the other version where Politics and News is US stuff and the general topics need the “World” prefix.

They’re slowing creeping in here in Denmark.

There is one around the corner from where I live. It doesn’t display anything but time and temperature (yet), but every time I walk past I secretly hope they’ve fired up the rave machine.

To be fair, its probably pretty hard to stay ahead of the curve when your format is limited to “guy in kitchen / bar makes food / drink from relevant pop culture series / movie”

That said, completely agree on Babish. Dude tried to grow his channel way too aggressively and burned out I think. Went from uploading a main video every week to showing up once a month at most, with regular uploads mostly featuring other people.

AvE.

He used to be a bulwark against idiocy and koolaid drinkery, advocating for calmness and common sense.

…and then he called Justin Trudeau a Nazi and bought into vaccine skepticism.

What’s left ain’t right.
