@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange I noticed, but institutions and manufacturers poisoning the pool of knowledge is really crossing a line. Here's a 2024 publication on PBT-GF that's hopefully authentic. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/382416629_The_Effect_of_Glass_Fiber_on_the_Notched_Izod_Impact_Strength_of_Polybutylene_TerephthalateGlass_Fiber_Blends%27

The second "industry expert" site I run into which has "knowledge" articles that are completely fabricated, now including materials, machinery and even pretend-SEM images. https://salesplastics.com/pbt-gf30/

Anyone tried to DIY some TGVs yet?

"Heating [Schott’s FOTURAN II photosensitive glass] to 500–600 °C causes doped Ag+ within the glass to absorb electrons and convert into silver atoms, becoming a nucleation center to develop lithium metasilicate crystals (L⁢i2⁢S⁢i⁢O3). The hydrofluoric acid etching rate of L⁢i2⁢S⁢i⁢O3 reaches 20–50 times higher than that of the unaffected zone, enabling the selective etching of the glass and unveiling microstructures like vias [41]."

Of course AliExpress is eager to exploit the current push for "age verification"

... to see a pair of side cutters. And probably because there are skin tones in the product picture.

No, just no.

@aislerhq Strange presentation. If the project does not permit showing snippets or making example designs then probably paying for consulting is a non-issue. As for approaching the subject, I find it helpful to conceive a shielding challenge as, inversely, "how to make a bad antenna". This is also accessible via simulation, either by looking at the far field, or extracting emissions through multiple ports in the simulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWPC2ud1rXo

@alpenglow@mstdn.social I'll post a pic and details if I can find it again (it's been a fair number of PCBs recently). The lesson is perhaps that one always needs to look at the Gerber output before ordering. But then again, sometimes the manufacturer previews even don't render correctly.

@kde The state should recognize the highly flexible and scalable mode of working on an open source project and create and exemption, removing the 15 hours/week barrier and requirement to announce such work beforehand. Sent with my Siemens Faxgerät.

@kde Ways Germany can and will turn this against people: If this is passed without further additions, contributing more than 15 hours / week as an unemployed German citizen can be interpreted as "not being fully available to the job market" and penalized. If you receive more than 250€/mo via patreon or something as donations for your open source work, this will be penalized by counting as income. You also have to know how much (highly variable) work you'll be doing. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verordnung_%C3%BCber_die_ehrenamtliche_Bet%C3%A4tigung_von_Arbeitslosen

@RueNahcMohr that's ignoring the rounded "B" that also could be an "8", so people keep not finding the part on account of getting it wrong

@astro_jcm The physical build really makes the CGI version look bland in comparison. I remember when documentary-style pieces about such places or lore were structured around a narrator having a model on a desk they could take apart and point at, so your work hits a soft spot. The CGI version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0sRNqfiwfw

@PalmAndNeedle @zardoz03 @kicad I too would rather be excited about what a force multiplier another full-time dev can be for KiCad. So many issues just closed just to make them go away, so many things people are eagerly awaiting. Yet here we are, wondering why a piece of random corporate art sticks out in a way that borrows from features that have become synonymous with "we couldn't be bothered".

@MisterMaker Found an example that can be realized with half-etching - the metal shopping bag (ridigly foldable) as seen in this lecture (Folding the Future: How Origami is Transforming Engineering | Dr Mark Schenk) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKUqy5gWwOU

@MisterMaker it's actually pretty useful as is when it comes to prototyping #SheetMetal parts as well, since it inherently supports half-etching, which creates a preferential straight or curved creasing line.

@MisterMaker it's Jet ECM, and it can be improved by adding a wire coaxially: "..current density distribution of the electrolyte jet flow is not concentrated enough, which also affects the shape accuracy. Hence, a wire-preposed Jet-ECM method is proposed, in which a wire electrode is put in the high-speed jet and passes through the nozzle. The electrode can feed into the structure to follow the dissolution of workpiece so that a high aspect ratio will be ensured." https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2020.02.274

I really enjoy making eval circuits / breakouts for stuff. (Maybe I should offer that as a service for a small fee. $Person gets the board with optional customization, I get the hands-on experience.. under the condition that I can publish the result as an open source deliverable.) My MP8862 board for reference: https://github.com/MisterHW/EVAL-MP8862

LT8362 (60V) and LT8361 (100V switch) boost/inverting/SEPIC converters are a pretty good match for a helper supply that needs to start up at 3V from a rail that's at 48V nominal. I have a soft spot for SEPIC converters and I cannot lie.

(LT8362 and LT8361 are available in the same package, don't pick the DFN one right away)

@Daojoan@mastodon.social ChatGPT is nothing more than the game of "someone said something wrong on the internet", but as-a-service. Sometimes it finds some legit information, sometimes it takes stuff out of context or screws information from a pdf because columns are difficult. Then it repeatedly claims it's right. Sane humans won't win against this firehose.

@jcoglan sorry for the literal screenshots, but check this out. Wrote a library, then got asked to "put the problem into ChatGPT and see how close it gets to yours". Well, it took me quite a long time to get the over-confident, defensive PoS to admit it f'ed up OCR* on a table. (*kinda. I still don't know what exactly went wrong along the way, but since it barfs out and executes python code to get there, it might as well have screwed up some indices under the hood to mix up the table cells.)
