@TechConnectify "I've always been fascinated with the idea of building 7-segment displays out of weird things. Imagine a clock where each segment is a 4 foot fluorescent tube"

yes
I have done this a looong time ago and it's a nightmare to get the high frequency drive of the tubes right and if I'd do it now I would probably predict when to change digits (if it's a clock) to pre-heat the filaments to strike the tubes flicker-free.

@TechConnectify wonderful video as always. Did any actual products ever use these?

@TechConnectify WBEZ is an incredibly valuable resource for the community. Management has terminated nearly 15% of the 62 unionized content creators while the executive payroll continues to climb and appears now to top $4 million annually. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/363687394 #publicradio

@TechConnectify When I worked at WAMU, as it was climbing to become the most listened-to radio station in Washington, we had a staff of fewer than 20 people — everyone was either creating content, raising money or overseeing wires and cables (I produced the Diane Rehm Show by myself; the evening talk show was produced by the host). I looked at the WBEZ staff page today. (1/2)

@TechConnectify @brennen You should make a video about Menards.

@TechConnectify There's an idea. If you have a friend that happens to be a facilities manager or a plumber, you should commission a birthday cake shaped like a urinal. Use yellow candles.

@TechConnectify don't eat the yellow frosting

@TechConnectify This!!! I work in IT, and while I appreciate not everyone is knowledgeable about IT, so many seem to lack even the beginning of any troubleshooting skills at all - not just when it comes to computer related things. Might be the reason people so often tell us there is "an error", without specifying any of the information that is right there - they don't seem to get no one has an innate knowledge of every problem and how to fix, but that there is a "process" for it.

@TechConnectify I am starting to think this is just universal ... this is exactly how everything goes in coding too

@TechConnectify I tried this with the only regular powder we could find, this one, and can vouch for all of this advice. Everything perfectly clean.

@TechConnectify thanks again!

Your dishwasher videos were so good. I will be able to point to the shorter one for my friends less deep into the stuff. I would love a shorter combined video of the pinball videos in a couple of years to point to those friends too.

@TechConnectify Thanks! I hadn't seen either of the previous videos, and given their run-times, I might not have. This was great, and I'm already doing most of the tips, but I'm already looking forward to the hot-water trick.

@TechConnectify I absolutely appreciate all your videos on the topic. They have educated me a ton on how this all works. Besides the need for power/storage infastructure, education on EVs is paramount. It's gonna take decades to break old conceptions on how we "fill up" our cars. No one cares about fast charging their smartphone while they sleep for 8 hours at night.

@TechConnectify We have a variable tariff where the cost per kW changes every 30 minutes based on wholesale price. So a 7kW charger might make more sense for us as it would allow us to pull as much charge as possible during the low periods.

@TechConnectify surprisingly, I haven’t really noticed them in Iroquois County, Illinois yet

@TechConnectify simultaneously jealous you have cicadas and glad I don't have cicadas (yet?)

I've been waiting MONTHS because of all the hype and the only one I've seen was a preemergence cicada I accidentally dug up in a trench!

@TechConnectify not that pinball machine, apparently

@TechConnectify new video idea: the whoopie horn. It’s an old mod for cars (my grandpa put one on his 1970 jeep) it’s a old electric horn that can play one of 64 short songs. I would love a video on the internals of it! Cheers!

I've had this experience in do many arguments in real life, most recently with trying to go car free in my mostly car dependent city. Even if you have an answer to each individual nitpick they don't care. the nitpicks cover up their desire to ignore the holistic argument

@TechConnectify Pretty sure that should be nit-pickers

I just finished an engrossing biography of Nero, and left with the impression that it’s either always been thus or that things like this are somewhat cyclical.

@TechConnectify my 2011 Nissan Juke would put the wipers into their service position the same way.

@TechConnectify This got me thinking about if the glass got cracked what would happen to the sensor or if it would go haywire if, say, a rock flew up and chipped the glass near to the sensor.
