Ok #vintageElectronics nerds! tell me about these things…

The “MR” designation denotes some kind of diode (it stands for Metal Rectifier, a notation hangover from before silicon/germanium diodes) and they’re obviously arranged as full bridge rectifiers

They’re in a PSU made for the British Post Office in 1972

The brown stripe seems to denote the + end, but what does the other stripe mean?

Recommendation sought. Our current cell phone service, through Credo, is awful. I have had a bricked iPhone for several days since they sent me an eSim upgrade. It takes hours to get help, I have wasted too much time on this nonsense.

I am looking for a new cell phone provider.

It has to work all over the US, and in Europe (England specifically).

I am not averse to an American provider with a UK eSim.

I don't want a company who donates to the GOP.

Any suggestions ?

Phone Booth No 9.

From an ongoing series of Black and White photos exploring a now outdated and almost forgotten technology in and around the Toronto Canada area.

On Wednesday, Vodafone announced that they'd made the first ever satellite video call from a stock mobile phone in an area with no terrestrial signal. They used a mountain in Wales for their experiment.

It reminded me of an experiment of my own, way back in around 1999, which I probably should have made a bigger deal of. I believe that I was the first person to ever send an email from the top of Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon.

Nowadays, that's an easy thing to do. You pull your phone out and send it. But back then, I needed to use a Psion 5mx palmtop, communicating over an infared link using a custom driver (if you ever wondered why I know my AT-commands by heart... well, this isn't exactly why, but it's a better story than the truth) to a Nokia 7110 (fortunately it was cloudy enough to not interfere with the 9,600 baud IrDA connection while I positioned the devices atop the trig point), which engaged a GSM 2G connection, over which I was able to send an email to myself, cc:'d to a few friends.

It's not an exciting story. It's not even much of a claim to fame. But there you have it: I was (probably) the first person to send an email from the summit of Yr Wyddfa. (If you beat me to it, let me know!)

So I live out in the middle of country-side #Texas in a #TinyHouse I built on a big plot of land my family owns. My parents have a house on the same plot of land, but being Texas, it's actually a short drive to their house. They are old and like to check in but misplace their #cellphones a lot, and hate making the actual trip over. So I decided to build them a custom #telephone #network using a #PBX between our houses, running the wiring underground. Which means using old #landline #phones.
