Neuralink looks to the public to solve a seemingly impossible problem
  • Imagine we all pooled our resources to fund medical research through taxes only for private companies to exploit the technology and jack up the prices…

    A brain implant for rich people isn’t necessarily “for us”.

  • Pickup Trucks: from Workhorse to Joyride

    I recently stumbled upon this articles which nicely illustrates the growing problem.

    Simple joy from repairs?

    Our washing machine broke last week and the first thought was to buy a replacement but I wanted to at least attempt a repair first.

    The machine would still fill and empty water, but the dishes remained dry and there was a burning smell. So, I unplugged it, tipped it over and popped open the bottom cover.

    Aside from the controller, the dishwasher was very simple: a drainage pump, a circulation pump, a heating element and some solenoid valves. A multimeter showed the (main suspect) circulation pump still had continuity which narrowed the search down to the pump’s starting capacitor. Seven euros and a few days later and it’s back in action!

    The simple fix really gave me a sense of joy and satisfaction. It feels great to extend the use of something that I already have rather than need to consume more.

    Can anyone relate? Any good repair stories?

    I’m a big fan of the right to repair movement.
