    YouScope!

    I can't believe there isn't already a YouScope thread!

    So here it is.

    I've been busy harassing, oops, HELPING my body shop guy to finish the Trabant so haven't really had the time to stop in.

    But I did come across this little gem: YouScope. YouScope is an audio file that you can feed into a scope set for X-Y mode. It causes a neat "video" to appear on the screen.

    Here's me running it on a Tek 2235A

    YouScope has been around for a few years now so I'm sure someone else here must have found it.
    There's one thing I noticed.... It ties up your computers audio port unless you're clever about playing more than one thing at a time.

    I'm not so clever so I tried playing YS on an iPod which gives poor results.
    But if one uses Ubuntu to burn the FLAC file direct to an Audio CD and then play it on a Discman.... it works! Audio CDs aren't compressed and have better sound than MP3 players or iPods. The difference can be seen on a scope. Especially if it's playing YouScope.


    On an unrelated tangent, here's the Trabi shaping up....

      Compressing the audio file doesn't really work for anything with high-frequency sounds like this.

      Color NBTV files are even worse. You can basically just guess what you're looking at if you compress the .wav (or .flac) file to .mp3 or .ogg or any other lossy format and then try to play it back.

      Here's a stupid little NBTV demo video I uploaded ages ago.
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xsbvn12L8U

      If you leave the "decoder" running and set your soundcard recording to "stereomix" you can just about see the video if the youtube video plays back in 720p. The audio compression of youtube (AAC LC 152KBit for 720p) kills the color and a lot of the little bit of details NBTV has.. (see attachment)

        Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
        by Forest79
        Hello,

        I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
        The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

        However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

        BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
        by Sebastian Codrean
        Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
        The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
        So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

        Help to get Lenovo BIOS bin file for Thinkpad T560
        by maanee11
        Hello Everyone,

        I have Thinkpad T560 Which has corrupted BIOS. I have acquired Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, i need a bin file for the BIOS. I was able to extract the .exe file of BIOS from Lenovo given here in this link:

        https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/p...me=BIOS%2FUEFI

        In the extracted files, I see that BIOS containing file has extension .FL1 and I need to extract or convert it...

        Decrypt Keychain file
        by pretendjury84
        Hi,

        Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.

        I need to decrypt a .keychain file. The methods listed on github (https://github.com/n0fate/chainbreaker) unfortunately dont seem to work. Im getting stuck on the first bit,
        1. Navigate to the directory containing the file setup.py
        2. Enter the command (from terminal): $ python setup.py bdist_wheel -d dist. This creates a wheel file (extension: .whl) in the /dist folder.
        qashifmasud@Qashifs-MacBook-Pro chainbreaker-master % python setup.py bdist_wheel -d dist
        zsh: command not found: python
