A SPARC makes a little fire

news.ycombinator.com Leaded Solder 2025-11-27 17:11:52

Way back in May of 2018, I was unable to get the SparcStation 1+ to stop returning “Illegal Instruction” errors for any attempt at booting. This made absolutely no sense to anyone I asked about it, and they suggested replacing the PROM battery, because at least then we’d have fewer known-broken parts in the computer. I ignored this advice, and just stuck the computer in a corner with the other broken machines for awhile so it could think about what it did. A few weekends later, I decided to go

How Does an Electric Bicycle Work? (2025)

wired.com Stephanie Pearson 2025-12-03 09:00:00

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing. Even if you're pretty sure you know what an electric bicycle is—and that you're not, riding, say, an electric motorcycle from a dealership—the technology changes almost daily. Over the past 10 years, battery capacity has increased by around 50 percent, according to Joe Buckley, the e-mountain bike product manager at Specialized. In

The Anker SOLIX F3000 is my new favorite high-capacity power station for one simple reason

Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station offers high-end performance that is very similar to Anker's top-of-the-line options. It is more portable and affordable, though, making it a better choice for hybrid use and buyers who need elite power at home and on the go.

The Song of the Summer Is Dead

wired.com Jason Parham 2025-12-05 02:00:00

Devon Powers says there is one significant data point no one has considered in the debate around 2025’s Song of the Summer, or rather, why there doesn’t really seem to be one this year: Donald Trump. As media has become less centralized—music streamers replaced radio stations, TikTok killed the music video, and so on—how people consume music, and who they listen to, has become even more fragmented. But today, Trump represents a reawakened avatar of cultural togetherness. He may be the closest t

Why the US Is Racing to Build a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

wired.com Becky Ferreira 2025-12-06 15:31:50

NASA is fast-tracking a plan to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030 under a new directive from the agency’s interim administrator Sean Duffy. The plan revives a decades-old dream of scaling up nuclear power in space, a shift that would unlock futuristic possibilities and test legal and regulatory guidelines about the use of extraterrestrial resources and environments. Duffy, who also serves as President Donald Trump’s secretary of transportation, framed being first to put a reactor on
