💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌈📺 Color #tv had to solve one stubborn problem.
Millions of black-and-white sets were already in American homes, so #RCA had to encode #color signals that rode invisibly inside existing broadcasts and only color receivers could decode. That backward-compatible #breakthrough, coming after John Logie Baird’s fragile 1928 mechanical system, finally made color TV possible.

Danish #WaveEnergy firm step closer to commercial pilot project in #Barbados
Danish wave energy firm #Wavepiston has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Export Barbados (BIDC), an agency of the Barbados Government, as part of its journey towards commercial wave energy deployment in the Caribbean.
February 4, 2026, by Nadja Skopljak
"Initial results show that Wavepiston’s flexible sails prove effective in mitigating peak forces during extreme events, thereby validating the company’s approach of using sails composed of flexible panels to passively counter extreme events. Data was collected by multiple gauges, including force gauges, motion trackers and video recordings from multiple angles."

Cool short report of how we came to have automatic rice (and other grain) cookers. I use an automatic grain cooker regularly now — very convenient.
