I was of the understanding, it was in fact covid that caused 5g towers.

I think there's something in that for all of us... mmmm yes

5G towers do cause covid. Without 5G my WiFi would be far too shitty to book a cinema seat and get nice and infected by Karen her unvaccinated crotch goblins.

Edit: yes I am looking at a different provider.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

But also, it would be nice to invest a bit more in science and engineering (with smaller class sizes, more educated teachers, and more hands on experimentation) rather than doing "teach the controversy" shit in auditorium sized rooms full of kids who have already been indoctrinated to believe in magic.

Sounds like something an alien would say, which is just what you want me to think!

You'd make Charles Babbage very smug with that kind of talk

If you only care about adding numbers, you can e.g. do that using water or marbles. You only need to build an XOR gate, an AND gate and an OR gate.

In case of water, the gate will have two inputs as water streams. They should be aligned so that when the streams hit each other, the water will flow into a cup in the center of the apparatus. When the streams don't hit each other, the water passes the first cup and flows into another cup on the bottom. Carrying the water out at the bottom is the XOR gate, carrying the water out at the center is the AND gate and both cups together are the OR gate.

Then it's just about setting up the circuit and that would be a full adder without electronics.

Reject modern devices, true computers require large rooms and the output of a small NPP to operate

This stuff is half way up my professional alley and when I read it I had to think about the posts on hackaday the last 2 years which kind of document this new homebrew scene made of madmen.

I was thinking about making some miniature tubes, for audio purposes of course.

nVidia hallucinates—TSMC fabricates

The first point-contact transistor was invented in 1947. What a coincidence...

This one is called ASML and I assume they don't do tours too.

We don't have thingwazzas
