at first I thought it was a tool designed to 3D print casting molds... it isn't, it's just a nozzle creating a casting profile by direct injection underneath what amounts to fine sand.

It's not hidden very well [referring to "lies" in the title] when the ESP32's website about the ADC has a graph showing noise of ~10 LSBs normally, which with a proper input capacitor goes down to about 5 LSBs and down t

To an extent, for banging into shapes, but it's challenging to add more material to it if needed. None of the options are especially good compared to welding, though that's just my opinion (compared to fasteners - size, brazing -

It was selecting seats that was too broken to continue, though I mean, I already "worked around" the issue. I tried until it was less work to redo all the manual data entry in Chromium, I usually try pretty hard to avoid using it.

Maybe you can share your configuration? I wonder if you are lucky or they are unlucky.

I'm confused, how easy do they think it is to answer the phone, and then use the phone simultaneously for a call while opening their app and (presumably) authenticating with the app in order to get this information? I can barely handle

They don't define "ethical collapse" in terms of the company failing to make money. I imagine a fast growing startup could behave unethically without anyone really noticing (or at least saying anything) for a while.

If memory serves, the van der graff generator at the Boston Museum of Science was literally used as a particle accelerator at MIT for decades (apparently built by the Van de Graaff). I think the generator itself was the accelerator and ju

Oh for sure, I expected 3. I'm amazed it works at all. But for each different purpose it might as well be easily found as a spec. I'd use that for a phone display, to be honest.

I should probably clarify that I mean to say that the reason I think there is so much disagreement here is that the autorouter is an advanced feature, and using it as a wizard to make your PCB work is very unlikely to work out well. In th

I think an autorouter does come in handy, but not if you use it blindly. How well it does is as you would expect of any other tool that operates without complete information. It can't trivially tell which areas of your board you have i

I spent long enough getting tired of routing low impact traces that I actually learned to use the autorouter. And I mean *learned* because it was not as simple as clicking a button. Using it right means dropping down keepouts over sensitive
