Tale of two vintage Radio Shack multimeters, a digital one from the 90s and another analog one probably 20 years older.

Trying to debug what is wrong with our Swiffer (tm) electric mop, which only goes click now instead of bzzz when you pull the trigger. My digital meter was going crazy with strange readings causing me to take more of this thing apart till I realized the 9v battery in it was probably low and causing it to act strange.

Not having a spare 9v battery, Hauled out this analog meter which in theory probably also has a dead battery in it, but it's only for the ohmmeter and the voltmeter is happy as a clam and instantly told me what I needed to know.

I'll get a new battery for the DVM... But I think I'm much more likely to reach for the analog meter. Not only is it nostalgic for me from my youth but it's actually still better in a lot of ways

Today is my 22nd anniversary at the Electronic Frontier Foundation!

22 years ago, I flew with two colleagues to LA and discovered a entertainment industry cartel conspiracy to ban general purpose computers. This led to a suit that killed the FCC's Broadcast Flag order. It was the defining day of my adult life.

If you want to wish me a happy EFF-aversary, you can join EFF and help pay the wages of people like me doing work like this.

Underground: The Julian Assange Story (2012)

An old analog telephone exchange.

----

In the analog telephone exchange era, phone hacking techniques were often referred to as "phreaking."

Phreaking involved exploiting vulnerabilities in the telephone network to make free long-distance calls, manipulate phone systems, or access restricted information.

Phreakers used various methods, such as tone dialing, blue boxes, and red boxes, to bypass billing systems and gain unauthorized access to phone networks.
