Bad Apple или с Днем Радио, гики

Сегодня очень немного было поздравлений с профессиональным праздником некоторых гиков, хотелось бы поднять настроение себе и остальным, достать что-то такое любимое теплое ламповое… И да! это будет приятный человеческому глазу зелёный осциллограф.

Как все знают, прибор осциллограф очень простой, обычно используется для наблюдения сигналов в реальном (теперь уже и не только) времени, осциллографы развиваются, становятся цифровыми, но так было не всегда. К сожалению, первое поколение осциллографов с приятным аналоговым зелёным цветом вымирает, а ещё столько всего можно с ними сделать. Так почему бы не сегодня.

Кроме того, чтобы показывать сигналы, на нем хотелось бы получить что-то более осязаемое и почему бы это не Bad Apple, и почему бы не «простым» каким-то способом.

Идея пришла в голову предельно простая (каемся, что она даже уже где-то описана), использовать VGA видеовыход, а именно цветные сигналы R, G, B для кодирования положения луча. Один, например, R использовать для отклонения луча по X, второй G для Y, а B — для отключения луча, во время обратного хода строки и кадра.

Но Bad Apple сам по себе растровый-растровый, а нужно его перевести в вектор. Так как мы не в раз не программисты, посыпая голову пеплом, решили забивать гвозди микроскопом, а именно взяли матлаб и с помощью функции bwtraceboundary выделили контура растровых объектов, декодировали, отфильтровали, а получившиеся вектора обошли. Что-то подфильтровали.

И, на наше удивление получили довольно четкий контур. Для радиотехников, которые скорее на «вы» по обработке изображений, без глубоких копаний в математику — был очень даже прогресс.

Далее полученные вектора перегнали в обход луча, а уже луч растянули на вот такое растровое изображение кадра. Это та же картинка, что и выше, но уже цветом закодировано положение точки на изображении.

Дальше 16 мегабайтный исходный Bad Apple был перегнан в 13ГБайтный Green Apple c вот таким результатом =)))

С Днем Радио, коллеги! не знаем как вы, но по крайней мере этот день мы провели в окружении теплой ламповой техники.

P.S.: Некоторые могут правильно заметить, что C1-94 не имеет возможности смещения луча по Х, изображение должно было быть смещено на пол-экрана вправо, но это не монтаж, для смещения добавлен внешний операционный усилитель.

Ну и в качестве некоторой полезности, зачем это может понадобиться.

Самый приятный бонус — это возможность сделать для себя зелёные часы, которые в заголовке статьи, ещё бы оснастить будильником и был бы вообще класс, я бы поставил у себя дома, несмотря на габариты.

Ещё один приятный бонус, когда есть возможность сформировать точную развертку на экране осциллографа — это довольно детальный замер времени экспозиции видео или фотокамеры.
Для примера, если сформировать вот такую развертку:

где каждый штрих — это 10мкс, можно с точностью около 5мкс определять длительность экспозиций, при этом длительностью единицы миллисекунд, если создать несколько таких таблиц, то можно измерять экспозиции камеры в разных интервалах от единиц микросекунд до примерно до 1/25 секунды (и даже больше).

Выглядит замер на видеокамере примерно так:

здесь экспозиция составила 520мкс. К сожалению, немного мешает послесвечение люминофора, но это вопрос практики и выбора осциллографа с минимальным послесвечением.

Так что вот так =) надеюсь, было интересно и хотя бы немного скрасило будни серого карантина.

Ваши Pyhesty, которому пришла идея и Алексей, который реализовал прекрасное Зеленое Яблоко на C1-94.

Just how bad is it for Apple?

Dave Lee
North America technology reporter

Commentary on this seems to range from minor blip to complete disaster. But here’s how I see it.

A few years ago, I could have told you the very day my phone was due for an upgrade, and I’d stride into a shop eager to get hold of the technology that had emerged in the year or so since I got my current handset.

No longer. Fact is, the quality of phones now means we’re not desperately counting down to getting a new one. That, and iPhones cost $1,000 now, which doesn’t help (but isn’t in itself the reason for Wednesday’s news, despite what everyone on Twitter keeps yelling at me).

A better battery, a lack of big new features, terrific software that updates for free anyway… these are all factors that keep you happy with your device.

This isn’t a surprise to anyone, not least Apple, which has been preparing for the iPhone’s downturn for a while now by a) putting in place plans to entice you, such as the Upgrade Program and, b) starting to aggressively move into new areas.

Services, health and fitness, entertainment. It’s done a simply spectacular job of building serious cash beyond selling hardware. The Services part of Apple makes almost as much money as Facebook’s entire business. Apple is not a company in trouble.

China’s economy, on the other hand, is — and it’s meant the iPhone’s decline has happened much more quickly than Apple — or anyone — had bargained for. And for that you suspect, privately, Mr Cook holds the current US administration partly responsible. The trade war is trickling down and affecting consumer confidence, Mr Cook told shareholders.

That’s basically it. Now, what this might mean is a slow year (or more) while other parts of Apple grow to plug the gap. That process has started.

Apple could take a more drastic step and get its chequebook out and snap up a Netflix or a Disney, as some have suggested. Apple can certainly afford it, and it will keep investors more than happy while the other stuff is ironed out.

Or (or maybe, “and”) China’s economy could improve, the trade war could be resolved, and Chinese Apple fans will no doubt go out en masse and shovel money into Tim Cook’s pockets once again, making everything investors are worried about today seem like a brief, distant nightmare.

Question: Q: Why is Apple Music so bad? It actually *****

I am trying so hard to like Apple Music. As time goes on it keeps getting worse. Is anyone else unhappy with Apple Music. My kids are pushing me towards Spotify. They are in their 20’s and inform me that NONE of their friends use Apple Music. What happened? I am a Macintosh person since «88», I am wondering if that is the problem.

Here are my grips

Lack of detail on the Artist compared to Spotify

No concert support, like Spotify

Lack **** web page to Apple Music — Old looking compared to Spotify

What does everyone else think?

I cannot be the only person who thinks Apple Music *****.

I have canceled my subscription and I am going to give the family Spotify a try. Sorry Apply, Sorry 401K

Helpful answers

I think she is here because Apple Music is exceedingly disorganized and a sick hole of time causing great frustration. She is attempting to understand the reason for this in comparison to other common services. The response, from what I assume are technical support people of Apple Music is telling. Seems to convey a sense of defensiveness to an inferior product blocking the ability to improve. Should dissuade the hope of people, such as this writer, to Apple brand loyalty to think things will improve based upon previous successes such as the iPhone.

So it seems the only logical action is to use Spotify and allow Apple to wallow on it’s laurels, while the streaming music industry continues to progress leaving Apple further behind.

I am an Apple Music subscriber and am very pleased with my service. It is your prerogative to use what ever music service you wish and which best fits your needs. Likewise you can leave product feedback to Apple by following this link.

Perhaps not. But you can’t start this type of conversation here.

This is a technical support community, where we answer answerable questions.

It would appear you should use Spotify then. Not sure why you’re here.

She is attempting to understand the reason for this in comparison to other common services.

As I said. that conversation is not allowed to happen here.

The response, from what I assume are technical support people of Apple Music is telling.

Your assumption is incorrect.

You and she have not heard from Apple’s technical support people. The silence you hear and seem to be interpreting as indifference is the same as any hypothetical question will get here. They do not answer «why» questions.

I am not an Apple technical support person.

Seems to convey a sense of defensiveness to an inferior product blocking the ability to improve.

I am merely educating as to how this community works. I am not defending anything.

You and she have been provided a link for a way to speak to Apple and offer your views.
