Будни ретро-компьютерщика: Fujitsu FMV-Biblo NB53E

Середина июня 2026 г. Вижу, что цена на один интересный мне ретро-ноутбук снижена до подъёмного уровня. Решаюсь заказать. Ехать в Краснодар ноутбук будет всего каких-то 80 км.

Простейшие самодельные вакуумметры

Изготовление электровакуумных приборов (ЭВП), в том числе и в первую очередь в любительской лаборатории, имеет большой камень преткновения — вакуумную обработку собранных приборов. Это агрегаты из двух специальных насосов для получения высокого вакуума, это высокая чистота материалов и элементов «системы» и самого ЭВП, специальные методы их подготовки и обработки. Это сложно, хлопотно, громоздко, наконец, это дорого. Даже такой, казалось бы, пустяк — измерить полученное разрежение, стоит изрядной возни, ухи Read more

Nobody talks about why people in their late 40s suddenly start sleeping better in hotels than at home, and it isn’t the mattress or the blackout curtains, it’s that hotel rooms have no unfinished tasks looking at them

In late 1971, Ray Tomlinson sat at two side-by-side PDP-10s in a Cambridge office and sent a message from one to the other across ARPANET, picking the @ symbol off his Model 33 Teletype because it was the only punctuation that couldn’t appear in a user’s name

On November 22, 1971, a 30-year-old BBN engineer named Ray Tomlinson stitched a file-transfer program to a local message tool and sent the first network email between two PDP-10s in the same Cambridge office. The separator he chose — the @ sign, picked because no human name could contain it — is now typed billions of times a day. Read more

Older adults who downsize their possessions late in life aren’t preparing for the end, they’re performing one of the oldest acts of love a person can perform, which is making sure the people they leave behind don’t have to sort through a lifetime alone

Late-life downsizing is often misread as surrender or morbid preparation. Looked at honestly, it's something else entirely: a deliberate, generous act by an older adult who remembers what it was like to sort through their own parents' house and is determined to spare their children the same burden.

It is a federal crime in America to sell a kidney to save a dying patient, yet a whole donated body cut into parts and shipped for research sits in a legal gap Congress never thought to close

The 1984 National Organ Transplant Act made it a federal felony to pay a donor family for a transplantable kidney. The same law left a parallel industry — whole bodies donated to non-transplant brokers and resold in pieces for thousands of dollars — entirely untouched. Read more
