In the 1960s, this absurdly large camera was used to make masks for integrated circuits. The layers of the integrated circuit were drawn at large scale and then optically shrunk to make the glass masks that were used in manufacturing.

One source for totally lost games is the desk-sized Noval computer by Gremlin Industries.
I just finished going over that portion in my book and it bums me out that none of the software is preserved. There were really advanced arcade and educational games on it.

The 1972 INTERCAL Compiler Revealed
https://hackaday.com/2025/06/02/the-1972-intercal-compiler-revealed/
Il y a 26 ans #CeJourLà , Shawn Fanning et Sean Parker lançaient le service de partage de fichiers Napster.
Il offre un moyen simple de distribuer des fichiers musicaux MP3 et connaît un succès immédiat déclenchant une crise de l'industrie musicale avec des actions judiciaires menant à sa fermeture en 2001.
D'autres plateformes prirent le relais en mode décentralisé (P2P) avant la lente apparition d'une offre légale par cette industrie (y compris renaissance de Napster) #disruption #numerique

Connaissez-vous le wobulateur Ribet-Desjardins Type n°410A, bijou de technologie française de 1955 ?
C’est un appareil de test qui envoie un signal qui balaye toutes les fréquences d’un intervalle donné.
Les techniciens s’en servaient pour contrôler les circuits radio, TV, et radar.

Il y a 100 ans naissait l’immense André Franquin, inoubliable créateur de Gaston Lagaffe et des Idées noires.
Antimilitariste, anticapitaliste, écologiste, anarchiste accablé par le sombre spectacle du monde, il aura su en tirer toute l’absurdité, l’humour et la poésie possibles.
Une grande humanité
