The last really good thing TI ever did. How do I know? Because they're still selling a dumbed down version of this same machine. The TI-92 was really a general purpose computer with a computer algebra system as it's front end. With a 10mhz MC68000 and 64k of RAM it could be made to do all sorts of interesting things! #calculator #retrocomputing #ti

I was recently gifted of a magnificent #TI57 programmable #calculator. The LED display is amazing and I love it 😍 However, I would like to have a little chat with the engineer who thought it was a good idea to use a red wire for the negative and a black wire for the positive connections of the 9V battery. 😤😠 I’m glad I first checked online. I could have destroyed it on the first attempt. In the battery pack the NiCd elements are leaky and much probably the boost converted is gone, too.

I found a kewl compact long-period clock for Minecraft redstone yesterday, but calculating the settings to get the period I wanted was a pain.

With a bit of HTML, CSS, and JS and an unknown amount of my evening, I am now +1 period calculator for said clock:

Context: I've been quite enjoying the puzzle aspect of Minecraft redstone when designing contraptions for a survival world I've been playing for the past ~1-ish years (I forget exact start date), and I wanted a cactus flower farm.

Cactus flower farms, according to the wiki, need a period of 34 minutes and 6 seconds.
