A brief history of hardware epidemics

news.ycombinator.com Alan B 2025-09-15 09:18:39

Living creatures aren’t the only things to be ravaged by epidemics. Computers, even Macs, can die prematurely when there are widespread manufacturing failures. I’d like to unearth a couple of mass graves from the past that have surely contributed to landfill around the world: capacitor plague and lead-free solder, and a recent problem with butterflies. Capacitor plague 1999-2007 Capacitors or ‘caps’ have a chequered history. Acting as temporary stores of electric charge, they’re used extensive

We’re on the eve of a new Marvel show, and the House of Mouse has started allowing press who’ve seen all six episodes of Ironheart to share how they think. While the early verdicts swing pretty wildly between positive and mild shrugs at best, there’s also a lot of hints that the series’ back half includes a pretty wild climax.

I beat the original Death Stranding, but please don’t ask me what happened in it. There was a cataclysm — not quite a Gommage — that made the US more divided than ever, and you play as a babysitter-meets-delivery-guy who has special awareness of invisible, hostile creatures called BTs that are “beached,” which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds. There are grenades filled with pee, poop, and blood, and everyone who’s anyone was motion-captured to be in the game. There are whales, Guillermo del Toro (
