While opportunity charging is a practice applicable to both Lead Acidand Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for motive power systems, fast charging is a key differentiator for Lithium-ion batteries. Because the chemistry allows fast charging without damaging cycle life, Li-ion multivoltge batteries can be charged opportunistically during breaks and don’t require battery swaps. Learn about best practices […]

Spacelab was a European built laboratory module that flew in the Space Shuttle’s cargo bay. It carried three French made Mitra 125 MS minicomputers, not the Shuttle’s IBM machines. A teardown by Ken Shirriff posted at righto.com looks at the memory in one of those computers: 128 kilobytes of magnetic core, built in 1980. The […]

The FreeCAD blog has posted a talk from the FreeCAD North American meetup 2026 covering the History Workbench, developed by Ephi. The workbench adds file versioning to a locally stored FreeCAD project folder, so a project keeps a record of changes over time. It also lets you roll back a change that breaks something. It […]
