It’s an old IBM “Bus and Tag” peripheral interface cable. Before my time – I’ve seen 'em, but only in parts bins, not in actual use.

I’d be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn’t be transferrable to anyone else’s environment. I’ve already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.


So according to that, the company’s address (both physical and mailing) is 3739 E Sandstone Way, Washington, UT, 84780-1952.

…yeah, honestly that’s about what I expected.


I’ve actually been really impressed by some of their recent videos. I especially liked the one on jet turbine blades (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxVdC7pBQM), and their explanation of how displacements propagate through crystals, and how the blades are made with variations in crystal structure that limit that propagation. Yeah, they’re using clickbaity titles on it, but the content’s solid.
