I have a vague memory of Dr. Smith being in a goofy kids series with Robby the Robot but I don't remember Peepo. I remember the girl was in a creepy Star Trek episode

A.I. Fish Taco's

It was 70 here Tuesday. It flurried on me on the way home tonight.

How about Space Academy?

One of those songs that sneaks up on you gradually. Robert Quine (Voidoids, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, Tom Waits) on guitar.

6 hours ago. Has been constant. Probably walking home in the snowmageddon. Uphill, both ways.

Very wet snow day. It dances between rain and snow.

Unlike Jason, I actually recall Isis.

Returning to missed shows from the exotic 70s, when every channel needed their own Han Solo/Buck Rogers, they kinda needed a Wonder Woman too - The Secrets of Isis. Starting with episode two, though one is further down. Personal space seemed different back then.

Once again, a new wireless standard is rolling out. The ISOAL lossless audio codec sounds interesting... I doubt many manufacturers will implement it, since Apple AAC and Qualcomm aptX have bigger install bases: https://www.soundstagesolo.com/index.php/features/481-bluetooth-6-0-is-here-sort-of

Man, they had the worst ships.

I think most everyone missed that one the first time around.

Playing catch up on a show I missed the first time around - Jason of Star Command.

Once again Tiny Desk inspiration. Several years ago Madi did a Tiny Desk At Home that led me to her Album at the time - "History Of A Feeling" which I really liked. And then I lost track of her and she has put out 4 albums since. oops. So... Fatal Optimist by Madi Diaz (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/nsfpkr7hq7ric Example: Good album. I will have to check out the others she has released.

Buying Chinese film on Temu - results as expected:

let me know if you need anything. I may have the parts if anything is unavailable. I squirelled away some of these devices. I have 1 TKD board and 3 Alpha's if anyone needs a board. I might be able to part with a TKD pot if needed

"The speakers ARE the room treatment."

I removed the positive reg and discovered it still worked on my bench supply. Soldering the pins onto these is getting harder for me, and I think one of the solder joints on this one was bad and disconnected when I had the amp running the other day. I think I may have lifted a pad, so will probably order another reg and figure out a better way to hold the reg and the pin(s) when soldering. These things are small. I hooked my amp up to the bench supply just to confirm the currents I was seeing and it was in range. Mine was actually higher at 330/320mA +/-, but mine is built using MPSW thru hole transistors with creative lead bending.

Let me connect the fax.

Hope that new dead ones is still salvageable TI TPSA7A4701 would oscillate under some extreme circumstance but most likely that's not the case especially you have electrolytic caps installed. I would go back to experiment with thermal like force air flow on regs to see if the problem is solve then thinkering with passive setup.
