@EvaFox I am totally unqualified to run a daycare center but it turns out that in Minneapolis it doesn't matter! 🤣

If you were choosing a career now, with the knowledge and understanding you have now, what would you choose? How different is it from the direction you chose when you were young?

@yunta_tsai It's nice to see it on proper winter tires, Michelin X-ICE.
English
I often think about our winter testing picture. It represents the beauty of the vehicle and the hardness of our grit.
Beauty can grow from hard work.

@blind_via Good timing this time, I was away from my computer and didn't even notice.
English
@blind_via I recommend people be careful what they use RPAKs for. I've seen them demonstrate strong cross-talk between adjacent signals. For LED current limiters, probably fine; for mixed clock and date, not fine.
English
Custom PCB packages are at the discretion of the manufacturer. No real standard for resistor packs, so the manufacturers can do it how they see fit. If you know of a resistor pack footprint standard share it. Which is better: overall external dimensions, or 4x discrete method?
Sahaj Sarup 🐧@sahajsarup
8x 0602 array means each resistor is 0602 4x 1206 array means the entire array is 1206 Wtf?!?! Kicad is consistent with each resistor in array being a particular size but manufacturers are not 🤦♂️ What am I not getting here?

@TeslaBoomerMama Many of the NATO allies are now effectively Muslim countries. Any attempt to help could get them attacked from within.

Your view on Nato allies not participating in the Strait of Hormus strategy?

@JCChristopher They are not arbitrary, they're cherry picked.
English
Why do they always select these arbitrary date ranges? Is this the last time he got laid?

If you invested $10,000 four years ago: $NVDA: roughly $110k–$140k today $TSLA: roughly $16k–$18k today If Elon just kept his mouth shut, Tesla could have doubled and/or at least not lost every bounce it ever had from every "catalyst" it announced.

@blind_via Taylor, TX. Ground breaking should be in a week or so.

Let's freaking GO! Tesla has been developing their own custom AI chips for their self-driving car technology for many years now. Excited to see them finally take the leap to wanting to build their own Fab. Any guesses on where they will build it? Texas?
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
In just 7 days, Tesla is going to start building Terafab, that’s their own chip factory from the ground up. They’re done waiting on TSMC and Samsung (who are honestly maxed out) and plan to crank out advanced silicon for autonomous cars, Optimus robots, and AI supercomputers. The goal is brutal: 1 million wafer starts per month by 2030 (matching TSMC's current output) at 2nm nodes, with a $20–25B price tag they can easily cover from their $44B cash pile.

@blind_via Locally there are several extermination companies that all seem to be thriving. I suspect that has something to do with the decline in bug populations.
English
I learned about this recently. It has been observed that that the general bug populations are significantly declining. Likely as a result of our presence. I feel like this could implications for the food chain if the trend continues.

@blind_via 0402 is my preferred size.
Regarding titanium tweezers, I recommend them also and recommend that you buy more than one. Mine seem to disappear whenever I really need them.

Hand building PCBs with 0402 discrete? Don't sneeze
Kytor@KytorIndustries
0402 is a fun size to work with

@blind_via Engineers are not all created equal. Figure out which one knows what he's talking about and disregard the other one.
English
@blind_via True. The reflow temperature must be the lead-free temperature, i.e. the lead-free solder balls must liquefy. At that point there's no good reason to not use lead-free paste also.
English
Mixing solder alloys when building is a problem. For example, if you're using leaded paste and all you have is a lead-free BGA, or vice versa. The ideal PCB reflow temperatures for those 2 solders are different. And reflowing them together will result in less ideal result
TheOtherJohnSmith (Unsupervised)@AllTracDaily
@blind_via I should elaborate, there were times when I could only get the RoHS version of an FPGA and was forced to do a lead-free build. In those cases I recommend vapor-phase reflow. It prevents the board from ever exceeding the condensation temperature of the special vapor used.
English
Do you choose leaded solder for your PCB builds?
PCBWay@PCBWayOfficial
🔧✨Use 63% solder wire for smoother and faster soldering.

@blind_via Yes. I never had RoHS requirements so I could get away with it. That's not the case for everyone though.
