Hey, I know that story.

For those who like podcasts, #WellTheresYourProblem is a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides!

Well, there´s your problem!

(This busted TPS54339E step-down converter would explain why my WD 6TB MyBook decided to die exactly 2 weeks past its 2-year warranty).

Sometimes it's hard not to suspect #PlannedObsolescense - this has happened several times for me, especially with #Seagate and #WD hard drives...

#WellTheresYourProblem #RightToRepair

I'm holding up the innards of a broken external hard drive. The drive still has its control board attached. In the bottom right corner of the board a very unhappy looking power step-down converter IC can be seen.

#Boston fans of #WellTheresYourProblem, a second Northeast Corri-tour show at the Armory has been announced for 30 April, since the first one sold out so rapidly.

Today's silly troubleshooting adventure: Notice all meter values displayed for the power amplifier (up on the mast) of the microwave transmitter on one of our live trucks are just stone cold at 00.00.
Decide to pull the mast down and look because the hardware up there kinda made no sense (at first I thought somehow it had a RF Central radio and a Nucomm ODU, which just plain wouldn't work together).

Noticed the DC connector into the RF Central amplifier unit is smashed.

@corgidad the word 'just' does a lot of work in that sentence... Recommend slogging through the 2 hour (they ramble and banter, and the first 5 minutes you can skip) amusing podcast from #WellTheresYourProblem on The Silver Line if you want to get really spicy, and dig into why we have the #SilverLine that we do. youtu.be/1pUQnb9BgCk?t=207

Looking forward to this one.
The Well There's Your Problem crew is amazing, always on point (even when getting way off track) and @GarethDennis is always a delight.
Plus: the hyperloop is dead. But I guess politicians will keep falling for gadgetbahn hype.

I made a thing:

Well There’s Your Problem (@wtyppod@birb.redra1n.net) is a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. The “full” experience is on YouTube in video form, but I made an automated Rube Goldberg device to

1. Extract the slides and audio
2. Append the slides to the audio as chapter art
3. Clone the podcast feed such that it points to the chapterized audio
4. Automate all of the above

When talking about Des Cartes and Cartesian principles of philosophy, it's important to understand wells. Specifically that groundwater under pressure can be brought to the surface through the power of hydrostatic equilibrium.

So that podcast #WellTheresYourProblem has a bit of a running joke about the person with the worst job in the episode and I think it's the carriage driver in this one.

The latest episode of #WellTheresYourProblem reminded me that one reason CrossFit is a cult is at one point they had a mascot called Uncle Rhabdo. I attached a photo in the next post but I'm putting it behind a spoiler because it's honestly pretty disturbing.

And like, these CrossFit people wear getting rhabdo as a badge of honor, which is in a word, insane.

And the founder of CrossFit is a racist. And a COVID conspiracy nut. And all around terrible person.

Listening to the @wtyppod@twitter.com podcast on The Silver Line youtube.com/watch?v=1pUQnb9BgC

Very, very snarky and irreverent engineering/design focused overview of the events that brought the Silver Line to the #MBTA and #Boston metro.

A client brought a bike to our shop for maintenance.

And oh boi

As I took the thing apart, I wondered why my throat started tingling...

Then I saw it. Mold. So much mold. 💀

It was so bad, the mold had like eaten away at the frigging paint in hard to reach places.

Also the gear switch, front v-brake and associated wires were all mangled, rusty and otherwise fucked. 😄

Hoy recuerdo , un sobre desastres ingenieriles (con diapositivas 🤔). El accidente aéreo de Smolensk (mejor descrito como suicide by señoro) ha tenido efectos políticos que seguramente no se han disipado.

@futurebird there is of course a Well There's Your Problem that goes through why this should all surprise noone, in a handy rambling 3 hour short format.
