So have you heard or have thoughts on what is going on with the Internet Archive? If you haven't they've been under attack for a while dealing with at least two major issues: The first is a rather significant data breach involving e-mail addresses and hashed passwords used on the site (which users visiting the site were presented with a Javascript popup (visible in the images)). The second which is still ongoing if you try and visit the IA has been with DDOS attacks which have been leaving the site offline. They're busy upgrading site security and other components to get the site up and running while still dealing with the fallout of the data breach. So if you've been trying to access the INternet Archive for some time these are at least the two big reasons why you've been having trouble...

Working on a new project for another channel of mine. Any guesses on what it is? 🤔

Have you liked/followed the MausolfB #Facebook page at www.facebook.com/brian.mausolf/ ? If you haven’t you’re missing out on additional content I keep there. I keep photos of events I attend (especially for the #LEGO people), posts on interesting news/projects and of course… the memes!

And there you have it folks! The video of the last remaining projects of the CI-73 system went up today. After several years in the making the Snap Circuits series comes to a close and everything is back in the box where it all started from (though it certainly has been worn down). Question now is… what’s next? 🤔

Argh… they got me… 😱 A new variant of the STOP/DJVU #ransomware is circulating around and my main #computer seems to have caught it. This’ll be a fun mess to clean up 😅 #malware #virus #technology #windows #infection #encryption

Some of you have been asking about Snap Circuits. Projects 409-430 are being processed at this moment and will show up soon. The last of the projects for the SC-500 system should be all done by the end of the year. And then we do it all over again... with the SC-750.

Something familiar may be coming back to the channel soon... Any guesses?

Almost a month without uploads? Uh oh! We need to fix that... Four Viral Rewind episodes will be up later today featuring Techno, Poshkill, Apparition and Kela-17.

Well I'm sad to say any videos featuring the IBM PS/1 will no longer be possible as the system has essentially bit the dust (and I can't say I'm happy about it since it was due to my incompetence). Take my advice: When removing connector housings (the plastic housings that support/guide IDE/floppy cable connectors onto the motherboard) don't pry them up off the board with a screwdriver. Your motherboard will thank you :/

You my have noticed videos hadn't appeared (namely Viral Rewind) the past few weeks... That's what happens when the User becomes infected (and recovery takes much longer than a PC). Rest assured though, four episodes of Viral Rewind will be appearing later on today.

Want to understand computer malware over the years? What about building and fixing things? Or even doing crazy science stuff? If you want to learn and get educated, you're in the right place.
