The end of Instagram as we know it is here | 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

But despite them being ‘commercial’, they’re still pretty hideous bits of cheap Chinese kit that I wouldn’t trust as far as I could throw them.

In case you hadn’t noticed, 2010 is the Year of 3D in the HDTV space, and all the television makers are rushing to add 3D capability across their product lines. Sony has come up with a clever way of capturing 3D images using the same "sweep" technology as in their normal 2D panoramas. As the camera is swept across a scene, it will naturally see various parts of the subject from slightly different angles at different points along its sweep. Sony’s engineers have taken advantage of this to add a 3D Sweep Panorama mode to a number of their cameras, the A33 and A55 included. While the 3D data is apparently stored in a fairly standard file format, viewing the 3D images currently requires connecting the camera’s HDMI output to a Sony 3D-capable television set. Sony’s promised 3D Sweep Panorama playback support for their PS3 game consoles, supposedly coming as early as this September. That’s still a bit limiting, but hopefully as 3D technology matures, various manufacturers will be able to read each others’ 3D formats.

Ah, sō desu ka… Time to get some more iron in my diet, if I’m going to continue this dangerous hobby.

I prefer polycarbonate chassis with see-through lids. That facilitates continuous inspection while the device is in operation. I do agree that an output circuit breaker is not a bad idea. I’m comfortable with relying on the individual breakers on the input circuits combined with the two primary relays, which rather indirectly achieve the same purpose as the trip bar.

Your friend reminds me of a domestic main voltage electrician that would test with the back of his hand. He’s dead now.

Farewell, then, Toyota Auris, welcome back Toyota Corolla. Goodbye countless marketing millions spent establishing a new name and fresh reputation, hello old friend. Out with the old and in with the older, although it is surely not just me pondering why the passing 13 years have replaced recollections of the dull but worthy family hatch with a nostalgic fondness, lightly sizzled by memories of victorious Castrol-sponsored world rally cars?

2) If breathing and everything seems fine, there can still be some arrythmia that will manifest only hours later. It is a good idea to visit a doctor for EKG readings, or at the very least have someone monitor you for the next few hours and if you go unconscious, be present to give CPR & call ambulance.

On the positive side, the mechanism does allow the LCD to be folded facing inwards, providing some degree of protection against minor knocks and smudges when traveling and when you’re content to use the EVF instead. The Xtra Fine LCD panel has a 921,600-dot resolution. The display also uses Sony’s TruBlack technology, which couples a reinforced glass cover plate with anti-reflective film, and a resin filling that removes the air gap beneath the cover plate, which the company says improves contrast and reduces glare under harsh sunlight.

We recently watched [MakeItExtreme] turn a couple of microwave oven transformers into a somewhat ill-advised wall-climbing rig. It looks like that may have been the inspiration for this build, and the finished product appears to be a tad more useful this time. The frames of three MOTs are cut open to remove the secondary coils and leave the cores exposed as poles for the future magnets. A shallow dish is fabricated out of steel and the magnets are welded in place.

AC does make you clench. I was unable to let go of some AC transformer wires once for about 10 seconds before I shook free.

Of note, too, is the fact that there is a choice of just two petrol hybrid engines, a decision Toyota says is down to there being no significant customer demand for either a straight petrol or diesel.  There’s the 121bhp 1.8-litre motor currently used in the C-HR and Prius, plus a new 2.0-litre version with 178bhp, each attached to different hybrid systems. These will be offered with the hatch and Touring Sports (estate), which will be sold in the UK.

The Sony A33 offers a lot of control for shooting contrasty subjects. Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) adjusts contrast and brightness to optimize the camera’s use of available dynamic range. Auto HDR modes use three quick shots to cover an amazing tonal range. (The shot on the right represents the maximum range of 6 EV.)
