Review: The New Essential Guide to Electronics in Shenzhen
- the__alchemist 3y agoV interesting! I wonder how much is applicable, now that we have sites like https://jlcpcb.com/parts https://jlcpcb.com/parts. eg " At which point for an American or European without a word of Chinese even sourcing a resistor becomes an impossibly daunting task.". And along those lines, it's interesting how datasheets in Chinese can be comprehensible to a foreigner, due to the interesting parts being the (Arabic) numbers and diagrams.
