Solar Power Pack for AcuRite Iris® and AcuRite Atlas® Weather Stations
So that name is a mouthful. This battery backup solar panel, which I will henceforth refer to simply as the Solar Power Pack, is available at a discount if you act quickly, but chances are my average reader does not have an Atlas or Iris weather station, so we’re just going to sit back and…

Analog Computing: The Next Tech Bubble?
This came up on my YouTube rec’s and there’s a text article to go with it, and of course from there, I got other stuff on the topic, because the algorithm is a merciless thing. To set this straight, there are reasons this looks like the beginnings of the next bubble: The idea a company…

WonderSwan
