Hackaday ☛ A Simple Line Injector Shows You The Wonderful World Of PSRR
[limpkin] writes us to show a line injector they’ve designed. The principle is simple — if you want to measure how much PSU noise any of your electronic devices let through, known as PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio), you can induce PSU noise with this board, and then measure noise on your device’s output. The board is likewise simple. A few connectors, resistors, and caps, and a single N-FET!

Computers Are Bad ☛ 2024-04-05 the life of one earth station
Sometimes, when I am feeling down, I read about failed satellite TV (STV) services. Don't we all? As a result, I've periodically come across a company called AlphaStar Television Network. PrimeStar may have had a rough life, but AlphaStar barely had one at all: it launched in 1996 and went bankrupt in 1997. All told, AlphaStar's STV service only operated for 13 months and 6 days.
AlphaStar is sort of an interesting story on its own. Much like the merchant marine, satellites are closely tied to the identity of their home state. Many satellites are government owned and operated, and several prominent satellite communications networks were chartered by governments or intergovernmental organizations. Consider the example of Inmarsat, a pioneer of private satellite communications born of a UN agency, or Telesat, originally a Crown corporation of Canada. As space technology became more proven, private investors started to fund their own satellite projects, but they continued to operate with the imprimatur of their licensing state.

Gaming Industry Layoffs Criticized by Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev
Recent layoffs in the gaming industry, including those affecting the team behind Baldur’s Gate 3, have drawn sharp criticism. Larian Studios’ publishing director, Michael Douse, has voiced strong opinions against this trend, labeling it as unnecessary and detrimental.
Douse points out that layoffs are being used as a tool to appease shareholders, rather than being a necessity for companies’ survival. He argues that this approach is harmful, impacting developer morale and the overall quality of games being produced.
In an industry struggling with job security, Douse emphasizes that layoffs are an “avoidable mess.” He criticizes the decision-making processes of large gaming companies, suggesting that they choose layoffs too readily, influenced heavily by shareholder interests.

As part of a long running battle over the mark DERMAPEN, the Board deemed that mark abandoned because the respondent's parent was the user of the mark but the registration was owned by a subsidiary. And the third case demonstrates that discovery is very helpful, if not mandatory, in proving nonuse.

Weekly recap
I am trying something new today. Every week I look forward to reading Annabel's Friday post at The Bluebirds are Nesting on the Farm. She writes about all of the things she accomplished during the week and it is a lot of fun to follow along. I'd like to do something similar, except I am in a stage of life where I mostly take care of small children and I don't accomplish a lot. Another blogger I really enjoy, Barbara at Stray Thoughts, does Friday's Fave Five where every Friday she writes about five things she enjoyed or was thankful for from the previous week. I think I could do that. I'm not making any promises, but I'll try.
