Can't even remember the last time I got a new high tech gizmo. Maybe the microwave replacement I got as a Christmas gift 20 years ago? Still works as intended :D

I recently upgraded to a Logitech mx keys mini keyboard and liking it so far
Also just bought a ryobi rotary cutter because I've got some receptacles and switches to clean up eventually

The touch pad on my original builder grade GE microwave finally crapped out to the point that the only button that worked was the "popcorn" button. I had to use that to heat everything, and just pull the stuff out when it was hot. No replacement touchpads available, considered a $ 75 used one with no warranty, decided on a new one, which were about $ 200 at the time, got lucky, found a 1 year old GE, basically same builder grade but with more features, like the rotating turntable, locally, from a very nice house in town. Lady says, I wanted stainless appliances. I figured that already.
$ 45 later and about $ 10 in mounting hardware from the hardware store, and that microwave is still doing just fine, and I'm enjoying the fancy turntable.
Gave away the old one free on Craigslist, I hope the popcorn button kept working as long as they needed it. It should have, as it never got any use at all.

I bought my first 'smart phone' in July. From 2006 to 2023, it was a flip phone. Used to make phone calls. I'm in the 21st century now.

Not really high tech. Got it to locate survey pins on my property for the fence guy cause I'm too cheap to pay the surveyor $1200 to locate the pins he set 6 years ago. :mad: It did beep when I bumped the rebar pin sticking 3" out of the ground. :Jeff '79: So far I've had better luck locating them with my theodolite now that I got a line going.

A camera for my barn so I can see which cats are eating the catfood -- one cat I did not see for a year-and-a-half, but there he was a couple weeks ago. I didn't put any food out for about 6 months last winter; he was on his own. There's an endless supply of rodents around here so he must have lived on them for months. He's very stout and healthy looking, surprisingly.
Another cat that I've seen hanging around for years also goes in the barn, doesn't belong to anybody around here that I'm aware of.
I bought two cameras from AMZ, had to send each one back for various reasons because they sucked. So I made a thread here asking about them. Someone suggested the "eufy" brand, which was my third one and works perfectly for what I want.
No monthly subscriptions needed, camera works great and only $35. The menus are laid out quite messy but I'm getting used to them.

I have a couple of Denon receivers in use in my main system, the AVR-5805 and a AVR-3808CI. What I don’t like about modern day receivers is the lack of tape loops, not nearly enough offered.
Be sure to post pics of your new setup Curt.

I’m old enough to remember being taught about the abacus as if it were still a viable calculating machine. Mrvette probably used one along with his slide rule.:)
I went to the Rochester Institute of Technology as part of my toolmaker apprentice program, starting in 1968. One course was shop math, which was geometry and trig -- advanced over what I took in high school (which came easy to me).
There were no hand calculators yet. We did learn the slide rule as an aside (not really usable with shop math) but we had to do all the trig problems long hand on paper. With 5 divisors they became pretty lengthy.
First experience with a hand calculator was at a shop I worked at in 1973. The owner had one that we could use, but they were pretty expensive, over $100 as I recall so none of us guys had them. Counting inflation, that would be what, $800-1,000 today?
Then they got cheaper and cheaper, and in a few years they came with all the trig tables programmed in, so we threw our trig tables out, lol.
Then CAD-CAM came and everything above was forgotten about. When I first started using CAD around 1994-95 I didn't trust some of the numbers so I would do the math myself with a calculator. Son of a gun, the computer was always right.
As the years went on, sometimes I'd do a quick problem on a hand calculator, which by then I didn't trust, so I'd create the geometry on the PC to make sure the calculator was right.

After my first year of college I worked co-op jobs. In 1979 the company had a Wang computer. It was about the size of a portable microwave, and the software had to be written by an employee. Someone had written coordinate geometry routines, which were loaded into the Wang via little magnetic strips.
We did the design of about two miles of highway first at 1"=200' scale, hand drafting, pencil on velum. After the concept was approved we advanced to 40' scale, pencil on 3' wide rolls of velum. These were called "bed sheets", and two or three guys would draft it on a 20' long table.
From there we digitized the roadway baselines using the Wang. That process took me two weeks. We checked the computer calculations by measuring against the coordinate grid on the roll plans.
We then laid out individual D size mylar over the bed sheets, and traced out the final horizontal design pen and ink.
Next came the vertical design process, a profile view along the baselines. These were drafted on an exaggerated vertical scale, making the check of the digital version easier.
Next came cross sections every 50', drafting on thick paper. Super elevation was created (banking) at this stage. Then the cut and fill areas were established using a mechanical planimeter. Then cut-fill calculations using the average end area method.
If the cut-fill didn't balance, the profile had to be adjusted, the cross sections redrafted, and the calculations all redone.
That process took a small team several months. By early 2000s the PC, surveyor software, and then road design software, one technician can do that job in a few hours; a day at the most.

Right-of-way plans were to document land "taking", thus subject to public or even judicial scrutiny, and thus had to be of the highest quality. These were traced by overlaying a smaller format mylar sheet, one that could be displayed on a regular-sized table or judges bench. Pre-printed with state borders and a few lines of "boilerplate" text, we drafted these with several different colored inks according to some Massachusetts standard. I'd start from the upper left and progress towards the lower right to avoid smudging the inks. All the lettering had to be done using a Leroy scribe and templates. Very time consuming, but made an excellent presentation.

Stepping back into time again, how we skinned the proverbial cat before the computer age, this was around 1974-75.
I was working in a mold shop for an Austrian guy "Franz." (he turned out to be the best boss I ever had). He was in his 40s, had been here less than 10 years from Austria. Spoke very broken English but was a master moldmaker. There was just me and one other employee.
I came across a trig problem I could not get. Actually trig is the easy part, finding the missing side or angle -- geometry -- can be the really tough part. I was stuck so he looked at it. After a bit he gave up too.
So he says: "Bddduce, Bddduce, I tell you vott. Dddaw it up 20 times on the dddafting board and scale the answer."
Translate: It was probably some small blended area, involving numbers like .700 and .110", so a small area. So I drew it up as carefully as I could using a very sharp pencil, 20X bigger using the numbers we had, drew in the missing part and scaled it.
So let's say the missing side scaled .840" (our scales measured to .010.)
.840 / 20 = .042"
So the missing side was about .042", close enough for a blended surface. It worked out great.
Not exactly high tech, but it's the remote for my boat lift...:D :yesnod:

Last big tech purchase was a year ago when I bought myself a nice gaming laptop so I can play games when I'm away from home easier than taking my desktop rig.

You're the storyteller (liar) here. Again, I never brought up your wife. You're the pervert who wrote this:
I am picturing how I would have my woman bent over enjoying the view off the deck while I put my best foot forward. The motion of us with the water would slide metal on metal on your unsecured engineering feat resulting in our naked ass's being found below.

CHIRP is the programming software. It requires a programming cable. You can program it from the keypad, but it's a PITA. Plenty of videos on how to use them.
I keep one of these little gadgets in my pocket. Incredibly accurate and I can play three rounds off a single charge.
I'll check that out. :cert:

Looks like cheap Chinese junk, so it probably doesn't transmit at all. ;)
SRSLY, you're too cheap to spring for an iCOM or a Yaesu? :shrug:
I have a couple of Denon receivers in use in my main system, the AVR-5805 and a AVR-3808CI. What I don’t like about modern day receivers is the lack of tape loops, not nearly enough offered.
Be sure to post pics of your new setup Curt.
Need to start a media room/theater thread. Started working on it this weekend and my room is destroyed. Going from 2 stacks of equipment to 3 (analog, digital, processing). Putting the processing stack in a different room, running dedicated 20A circuits, new cable runs to pull and I have interconnects and power cords to build. Racks are mostly assembled, not sure where the record player is going yet. I think I have power distribution done, but still need another circuit for the sub. A lot of shit going into a tiny room meant for a nursery, but it’s the only space I have to work with.

Do you have a HAM radio operator license?

Didn't know I needed a license for this gizmo
