Inspired by the apocryphal "out of sight, out of mind" -> Russian -> "invisible idiot" and "the spirit is weak but the flesh is willing" -> Russian -> "watered down vodka but good food"....

I dunno aboot you guys, but ReBoot was an important part of my youth, and there's a project trying to restore it and re-release it in its original glory. This involves resurrecting 30-year-old digital tape technology, and of course the kind of money that only a bunch of weirdos like Linus would have lying around for such things, so there's even a few kilobits of good Karma for LMG.
Cheers!

Re: Interesting findings on the internet
My first wife is almost certainly highly proficient in LinkedIn-speak by now. Being good at maths and pretty, she cruised through an engineering degree without needing any innate engineering ability; so her natural progression was into management. It was only after a few years at the chalk face that I understood how pretty girls having no engineering ability could be awarded engineering degrees.
A girl I once knew was a competent engineer, but went back to school to get a maths degree. More power to her elbow! But what did she do with it? Did her ability at something that floors most of us benefit society and unblock problems? She became an accountant.
I'm not sure what my point is, but I expect LinkedIn-speak could conceal it even further.

Metrology time...
My best instrument is also one of the oldest: a JRL VDR106/7 KVD. There's incrementally more information about them at:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology ... msg6234951
Example: each one took 4 months to make, and they made 100/year.
Shame the photos and original are sub-optimal, even if the content isn't.

I watched about a minute. It sounds like the kind of AI slop, spun out of a vacuum, that Youtube is full of these days.
The comments are always worth reading. One is from a chap who worked on on that sort of gear for years, and he finds it completely unbelievable.
