"How to build a difference engine at home (2026 edition) "

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now you've ended up in the Lego builds part of YouTube.

Knowing my YouTube feed it's most probable that I end up in one of those DIY videos where they tell me how everyone can make thing easily at home and then proceed to use their thousands of dollars worth of professional workshop machinery to show me how to make thing.

You mean to tell me you don't have a CNC machine at home? Even the most barebones of homes must have arc welding gear stashed somewhere, right?

I keep my arc welder next to my water jet cutter. Check out my next video where I build a fusion reactor. The follow up shows you the quantum computer I used to model the plasma.
