My X Account Was Hijacked to Sell a Fake WIRED Memecoin. Then Came the Backlash

"Under the guidance of designer Paul M. Fuller (1897-1951), Wurlitzer jukeboxes showcased light, color, and form in striking, Art Deco designs. Wurlitzer also marketed a line of tabletop models for smaller businesses. These compact jukeboxes employed a twelve-selection mechanism that raised or lowered 78 rpm records arranged in a stack to the desired disc. All objects are courtesy of Joe Welch American Antique Museum in San Bruno, California. "The Automatic Age: Coin-Operated Machines" is on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/CoinOperated" This was posted to our Instagram account on March 06, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729358489/

Coin operated horse ride in front of a store. It is a light coloured horse on a blue and yellow base. It appears to be well used.

Coin-Operated Graphing Calculator Console

Longtime hacker [Peter Jansen] was so impressed with a piece in The Onion from last year that he decided to build this coin-operated Texas Instruments graphing calculator console on a whim (video below the break -- warning vertical orientation).

With nothing more to go on than the fake mock-up pictured from the original satirical article, [Peter] was able to scale the dimensions from the photo making a few reasonable assumptions. He built the project over the holidays, enlisting his father and son as helpers. The cabinet is framed in 2×3 lumber and faced with wood veneer covered plywood and vinyl overlays for the graphics.

The computing power is from a Raspberry Pi with an Arduino Uno serves as an I/O processor. It was a bit tricky to control a calculator with only two knobs, but he makes it work. However, at 25 cents per plot with no apparent hard-copy capability, this console calculator might be a bit pricey for all but casual plotting over a few beers at the local pub.

You might remember [Peter] from some of his hacks we featured over the years, like his home-brew CT scanner or placing fourth in the first Hackaday Prize contest in 2014 with the open sourced tricorder project.
