Facit 1126 - Early Digital Calculator

[@atlbroad]

Seriously some of the best asmr on KZbin! So much better than other ASMR artist with millions of subscribers!

[@1stSpyGuy]

I'm still stunned that people actually enjoy me yammering on about stuff, but it's heartwarming all the same. =) Thank you so much for the kind words!

your voice and presentation of these video is so relaxing I love it

Towards the end of the video, I was thoroughly relaxed, half asleep, and still learning about how early calculators always showed leading zeros since it was difficult to hide. You earned a sub!

[@TehInfamousLol]

Your videos are awesome because you learn something really interesting while simultaneously getting really drowsy because of how relaxing you are, subbed man!

[@1stSpyGuy]

I've fulfilled my greatest wish - to become one of those learning tape thingies people put on when they sleep! Really glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for the sub. =)

[@loic9711]

isn't it? I googled the 355/113 thing: it's incredibly close to the pi number

[@cowboyfunkk]

I came here from your comment on unintentional asmr's channel... I simply love these videos because of how interesting they are while you're not shouting down the mic to explain it

[@shy1000]

I got really excited when you said the display was vaccuum florescent. I had watched a video on it a few months ago and seeing it again just made me excited.

[@1stSpyGuy]

I wish I could show off how it actually looks in real life. The camera does take away some of the unique appearance from this display.

[@shy1000]

Yea I've heard that cameras don't do it justice

[@ryanlogue232]

really cool videos, I like the way you handled the unintentional ASMR channel thing as well.

[@1stSpyGuy]

I'm very glad you enjoy the videos! Always fun to hear! =) Also yes, I was a little bit ruffled when I found out the video had been reuploaded like that, but at least it reached a whole heap of folks who enjoyed it too, so that's all well and good with me. Although I have to admit people getting asmr from my voice is kind of unexpected and perhaps even a bit startling!

[@carterflaer7841]

You seem like a really fun guy to hang around with. Congrats on a new sub!

[@robertlozyniak3661]

6:10~6:15 It makes perfect sense to me that the display would not be suppressed during a calculation. When someone calculates on a chalkboard, or on an abacus, you can watch as the result takes shape. So why should it be different with a calculator? Do you have a slow motion camera? I would like to see this multiplication process in slow motion.

[@1stSpyGuy]

I don't have a proper one, unfortunately, but I might be able to do some trickery with my current camera to slow it down somewhat, at least.

[@1stSpyGuy]

I went ahead and did it with some editing. It'd no doubt be cooler with a real slowmo camera, but I'm happy with the result: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6iXc4KjjKp2eKc

[@binkbonkbones3402]

@@1stSpyGuy you should do an asmr series on the history of personal calculators

[@Koexistence13]

This calculator sounds like the work its doing is very important

[@RyanSchweitzer77]

IMHO, those are some funky-looking characters on that calculator's VFD display, they kind of have a handwritten style to them. Still an awesome piece of technology though, definitely quite state of the art in its era. And to think VFD displays are still used today for displays in some DVD/BD players, stereo receivers, status displays, and such. Probably the last "hollow-state" electronic technology still in common use today.

[@starknit]

i mean this in a good way, you sound so cute

[@RalseiSmokinAFatBlunt]

i agree sm😭

[@amoledzeppelin]

Fluorescent tube displays were common even for such advanced calcs as Electronica MK-52 (which they ended production only after USSR disintegration). But this one is a really old type... And yes, I'm always curious what happens when you divide by zero in any old machines.

[@JAPEASMR]

Aaaaaand I'm asleep! So relaxing to watch!

[@MillerMeteor74]

We have an 1125. It has 26 keys, and a 16 digit Nixie Tube display, but there's some kind of electronic glitch now. When I turn it on and clear it out, all the digits light up 7s and 9s at the same time, no matter what. If I try to do any calculations at all, it goes into error. This started happening suddenly, maybe 10 years ago.

[@sd-mv2zf]

When are you coming out with more videos like this!!??

[@1stSpyGuy]

Today 😎

[@afrose71]

Cool, but the lack of a "+" button would bug me.

[@rChaoz]

The answer to that big division there actually is 125.9638937681. The calculator said 125, which is correct (without decimal places of course). Maybe the numbers are too large for it to get the decimals? On an old mechanical calculator, the number of decimals you can get depends on the input numbers; maybe this one's design is just the same old, mechanical design, but made digital. After all, it's facit's first (or one of, I don't know this information) electrical calculator after many, many mechanical ones!

[@rChaoz]

You could try repeating the same division but with the decimal places knob in different positions, maybe you can get different results?

[@DrZ99]

the facit 1126 was manufactured by Sharp Electronics for Facit in the 70s.

Nice old machine, but that display would give me a headache. I grew up in the era of vacuum tube displays like this and there were much clearer displays from the same time period with plain block characters and none of the extra gibberish on the display all the time.

I’ve read all the comments where you’re busy with your degree and work, which is totally understandable. When uni finishes up, do you think you’ll have time to make any videos? I mean hell, even two a year would be a treat, hahaha. Excellent for falling asleep (and I mean that as the highest compliment). Subbed as soon as I found this video on the unintentional ASMR channel

[@1stSpyGuy]

Hey! I'm sure I will have some time. Right now it's a matter of things being busy, along with needing to work up the courage to put out another video after such a long time. =) The long delay since the last one has riled up the inner perfectionist and he's taken a dim view to just chucking something out there (in spite of that being the strategy so far).

[@1stSpyGuy]

Yes, a sad fact of life about those channels are that they tend to take videos without asking. Normally (this isn't my first rodeo) they give decent credit first in the description. I don't mind that so much, it's ok to want to share videos with your community, as long as you ask. This guy was instead abusing people by trying to get them to click some dodgy survey link. I won't have my work used like that.

Maybe someone was dividing by zero when you last used it and that is why the display was full of rubbish.
