Rob Baruch’s Project 54/74 was a #reverse-engineering project to analyze all the 7400 series (and 5400 series) ICs from die photos of decapped chips. Robert C. Baruch, according to his Gmail address. I wonder what happened? #history #electronics #hardware #Project-54-74
#EEVblog #video about partially repairing a mostly-working Hameg 20MHz analog oscilloscope he bought at auction for US$19, largely by spraying contact cleaner into it and replacing a fuse. It has some digital storage capabilities and the service manual online.

Robert Baruch announced his #Project-54-74 #electronics #reverse-engineering project on the EEVblog forums.
The #IEEE awarded their Medal of Honor prize to Donald Pederson for #SPICE and then renamed another of their yearly awards for him.

ShWiM: “SHell WIth Me lets a “host” share their terminal with a “guest” peer on another computer. This combines the cryptography of Magic Wormhole (via Fowl) and the terminal-sharing of tty-share into a secure, end-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer terminal sharing application.” pip install shwim (but you also need to apt install tty-share separately I think)
