@MikeKonrad thanks so much for having me on the show. I'm grateful to be able to provide a quality tool for helping folks fall asleep at night 😆 youtu.be/e02OFqVxoDU

@zachglabman Any plans to get up to New England?

if you are or know a value-added manufacturer in these areas, I want to meet you (and get you a beer) I'm driving through Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland looking for a few more intros along the route, stopping in Kalamazoo and a few smaller towns along the way

I love when people push boundaries. I love building stuff for them. Hey @Waymo what a cool car! Any chance of an invite?

Love this

Here we go #IPCAPEXEXPO

Super excited to be attending #IPCAPEXEXPO and even more excited to announce that we'll be doing a meetup! Join me (Chris Denney) at 3:15 - 5:00 in Room 209A on Tuesday April 9th for the official Pick, Place, Podcast Meetup.

The Pick, Place, Podcast now has over 50,000 downloads. Incredible. Thank you so much Melissa for helping me stay on track! LOL @CircuitHub buzzsprout.com/1066066/achiev…

@otherdev @Google Dude I’m in the same boat. What happened!? All my codes are gone.

@google authenticator app updated and deleted all my 2FA codes. there is also no support team you can reach out to for help. being a google one customer only gets you support for storage issues

@YadnamOebar I’m having this same issue. All of my codes are gone.

#Google Authenticator #app is having a huge bug preventing it from updating #OTP codes because some BOZO in #Google decided to screw it by an unneeded update! People are blocked from accessing services due to that and #Google closes topics opened to complain! FUCK YOU GOOGLE!

They’re finally here!!!! New pick and place machines from @fujiamerica

@mikerankin You certainly seem to enjoy a challenge. Care to try hand soldering some metric 0201's? I put some on a $20 bill for perspective.

First prototype hand assembled using 0201 resistors and capacitors. Lost quite a few picking them up with tweezers but it went pretty well. A good quality microscope is a must have. #atlium

@jordanyte @Raspberry_Pi 🤢

The @Raspberry_Pi #PICO datasheet provides a text book example of how *not* to dimension a footprint for ECAD users. Try and change my mind...

Most #PCBs are green – why? Because #engineers find it easier on their eyes during optical inspection? Because it was the regulation color used by the US military? Or because the original color of glass epoxy is naturally green? How about all three? #FunFactFriday

@krilno @lukeweston +1

@lukeweston This placement is abjectly terrible, and the boards are simple enough that a place and route can be done in a matter of hours. Why not respin rather than commit to this shit? Shortcuts are truly the longest path.

Are you a contract PCBA assembly contractor who likes a challenge? These boards have no regard for the keep-out courtyards and component spacing. Components almost touching. I didn't do the layout. Yes I have budget. I'd like a "yes we can" answer. Would you assemble these?

@therealjpster @lukeweston

@ahl The most visually bonkers pick and place machine is for sure the Fuji CP6 machines. 🤯 youtu.be/SRu02F6AOmg

Also from the space, check out pick and place machines on YouTube. Start with the Fuji XPF-L and let the algorithm wash over you: youtube.com/watch?v=MpScc1…

Big thanks to @mrskatehicks for joining me and @bcantrill for Monday's Oxide and Friend Twitter Space talking about the supply chain crunch, war stories, and some of the (incredible!) ways we've navigated the supply chain at @oxidecomputer. Recording here youtube.com/watch?v=e0UKvT…

@CircuitHub We’ve officially made it. People are making memes about us now.

@hugs If you’re driving, shouldn’t be a big deal. Flying they usually care more. Tell them you’re there for vacation and they’ll treat you like royalty.

Question for my US Citizens-that-visit-Canada friends: Can one enter Canada from the US with a passport that is expiring in less than 6 months (let's say it's expiring 4 months for a short trip at end of September). Should that person renew and expedite now... or after the trip?

Engineering for the win! When you need to fish a bunch of Cat6a cables through 200ft of conduit…. #engineering #levers #usingyournoggin

@therealjpster Oh, it’s already on the list 🤦‍♂️😂
