#Linktober 15: Underwater

Ito, Iwata, and Takamoto on boiling circuit boards, 2009.

PEOPLE:
- Kuniaki Ito. Responsible for the Wii MotionPlus electrical circuitry.
- Satoru Iwata, age 49. President of Nintendo.
- Junji Takamoto. Wii MotionPlus hardware project lead.

QUOTE:
Ito: When the gyro sensor's casing absorbed moisture from the air, it would affect its sensitivity. … If it absorbed so much as a tiny amount of water, it would swell up and put pressure on the sensor which would prevent it from functioning properly. … In order to prevent that, you have to ensure that when it's being manufactured, it is in a completely dry environment. But even if you do that, it's inevitable that when players use it, it will absorb some moisture. …

Iwata: How did you solve this tricky issue?

Ito: We made it absorb moisture right from the start, but in a controlled and efficient manner. … So we boiled the entire circuit board.

Iwata: Circuit boards aren't normally something you boil, you know! [laughs]

Takamoto: There are ways to get plastic to absorb moisture so that it becomes stable. One of those ways is to boil it.

IMO game freak has done one of the most respectable things a game studio can do which is to trick the masses into playing xenoblade

Zohran Mamdani uses his appearance on Fox News to "speak directly to the president," since "he might be watching right now."

Mamdani looks straight into the Fox camera as he says this >>>

My Xbox and Switch Pro are both still doing fine. I had to clean my Switch Pro once in I wanna say '20? But it's been rock solid since

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Some Westerners are going to ask themselves why their own countries aren’t improving, take a long hard look in the mirror, and decide they have to become even more racist.

At some point the public will realize that China is racing past us in every way that matters and I don’t know what that will do to the country

The Chinese are likely going to return to the moon before Americans and it's going to hit the American space establishment like a nightmare

It feels very weird to have such an absolute lad as Pontiff. Like a Pope you know has gone to town on a big thing of wings.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

It should be noted that American companies did this in Venezuela for about eight decades, leading to the revolution that brought Chavez and Maduro to power.

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 1d

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.
