This app calculates resistor values based on their ring colours, calculates series and parallel resistor […]

You may or may not know that I'm a huge hardware geek.
In fact, I recently found a Discord server where most (if not all) are gentle like minded minds, sharing the love and interest for all things Retro

So, if you're one of us, join us!

(mainly UK based but many people from all over) […]

Attached: 4 images The main attraction seems to have made it over more or less intact thankfully. Will have to inspect the innards more closely, of course (it needs repaired anyway). It’s huuuge and clunky and gorgeous and best of all, it’s mine now!!

As another display of incompetence from the right wing clowns Portugal decided to elect to govern itself, the new version of the public healthcare service app, SNS 24, which actually worked pretty well, is now completely broken after a 1.5M investment.
