End-of-life notice for Samsung/Nexell S5P4418 processor

Samsung/Nexell S5P4418 SoC is being phased out, according to a somewhat recent post by EmbSoM/Graperain stating that the SoC was discontinued by the original manufacturer.

Enjoy!

[update: added photo of top side, since the ware was already guessed – just for more enjoyment]

Winner, Name that Ware December 2025

The Ware for December 2025 is a Spectral Instruments Series 800 camera. I was pretty shocked at how quickly this was guessed given the very small portion of the instrument that was shown, but, then again – that’s how it goes sometimes. Congrats to johslarsen for nailing this one; email me for your prize.

I had prepared a series of “hint” images in case it turned out to be too hard to guess the ware – they’re too neat not to share, so here they are:

The module above is the “other half” of the assembly – you can see the tips...

Большая модернизация настольной стеклодувной горелки своими руками

Горячая работа со стеклом, декоративным или техническим, в наше время обычно выполняется при помощи ручных или стационарных горелок — в их пламени стеклянные заготовки размягчаются и формуются, а края деталей спаиваются. Тип, количество и форма горелок, конечно, сильно зависит от марки обрабатываемого стекла, другого оснащения мастерской, потребных операций и манеры работы мастера, однако, более или менее универсальным вариантом, как и десятилетия назад, остаются горелки настольные, по возможности с большим (для формовки) и тонким (для спаивания) факелом или же горелка большая настольная и малая ручная. Горелка стеклодува — предмет его гордости, основной инструмент, от удобства и безопасности работы с ней зависит многое. Жалеть времени на совершенствование и настройку своих горелок ни в коем случае...
