Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N

People have long used the term "programming" about manually entering in drum patterns in drum machines. I'm not here to argue with that.
I'm here to express my my joy that in the latest version on Renoise you can now program drum patterns (and any other instrument) in Lua, like so:

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.
They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

I cleared an entire shelf and put in a blanket for her to lay in, but sure, get your fur all over the bed covers instead 🙄
This is too cute to be upset about though...

Just fucking horrifying.
The head of RFK's fake autism study once "got in legal hot water for running illegal experiments on children that are so weird that I fear readers will believe I'm making it up."
But it's all true and worth reading to see how sick these people are.

RFK's phony study into autism isn't just an assault on science — it's a war on children's health
The head of this "research" is no doctor — and has a history of torturing kids with fake autism "cures"

Amiga A1000 prototype. Fan boards are the CMOS versions of the custom chips, and board at the front is a Wire Wrapped A1000.
Wow... It always amazes me you can replicate complex chips using normal logic chips. 😂

…now, modern electronic musicians may not know that Roland meant the 303 to be a virtual bass player to accompany travelling gig musicians. Except they failed and it sounded nothing like a bass guitar. And to make matters worse, it was an unusable mess of a machine…
"And so, the initial Sugababes line-up formed way back in 1998, when Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy were just 13 years old..."
