“So what does the #physicist bring to #Ferrari? “I think a few things. In #physics, one of the first lessons is that you need to keep in mind that all the points of view are important to understand reality.”

“Vigna is one smart cookie. At European tech company #STMicroelectronics he led the team that developed the 3D motion sensors that allow mobile phones to do so many clever things. Vigna has filed more than 200 #patents. Yet, curiously, he opposes the digital-first approach.”

“In the last, let’s say 15 to 20 years, too many cars became too difficult to be used. The reason why the car became so digital, with so many #TouchButtons instead of #MechanicalButtons … is because they are #cheaper.”

The joy of fixing something that has been broken for over 5 years!!
We had an electrical fault in a socket in the house that connected our dishwasher! But the dishwasher was broken and we didn't use the socket so it got left. Multiple times I tried to find the cause for the issue (a faulty earth) which only affected this one socket!
A had a suspicion that the fault lay behind a cupboard that was put in when we had the kitchen renovated but didn't have sufficient belief that made it worth ripping the cupboards out! Yesterday I freed the cupboard from the attachments and found a live socket and switch point! And inside the switch a disconnected earth wire! I reconnected the earth and the fault cleared.
Joy o joy ... But why couldn't the workmen that did the job have converted the switch and socket into junction boxes! Now I need to decide ~ put the cupboard back or do the conversions first!!
(Get an electrician in!!)
