Saw Jerobeam Fenderson's N-Spheres but I've been more of a fan of this one - sounds more like music and the visuals are much more complex. Factory floor is also a good one

You're not going to believe this

Ceramics arent unheard of in terms of pcbs and ic packaging, though forest clay certainly isnt the ideal ceramic by any means. Ceramics also are much harder to work with and create things like vias. They are sometimes used in interposers or for creating interconnects in chiplet designs due to their capacity for high density microvias

The amount of plastic waste we generate is ridiculous. Walking into a store at the mall, theres walls, racks and containers of crappy toys, stickers and knicknacks that only an old person, who isnt familiar with what theyre kids like, would buy. As far as i could tell, at least 60% of it would probably end up being burned or landfilled without ever being sold to a consumer. Who is going to buy a shitty little rubber generic controller keychain? Or 5000 funko pops. Or a 600$ gameboy game

Boost / firefox beta on android - works for me. Could be internet speed or adblock/noscript settings blocking something. Could also just be time of day and or servers overloaded

Companies in the late 1800s to early/mid 1900s would build towns and housing around the mines and pay workers in "credit" only redeemable at the company store for necessary goods, food, etc. Due to the high prices and single company monopoly over all aspects of life there, people would go into debt and be essentially locked in with fences like prisoners and forced to work off the debt.

It is called an electret. Same thing that makes electret microphones and N95 face masks work

I think modern steamos is based on a different distro then it was then. Also proton is good enough now to justify switching for a lot of people

I miss purple and chrome

 
 

I usually use an optical microscope at work. Makes hand eye coordination better so even if my hands are shaky, I can solder 0402 easily. Digital scopes are pretty hard to use on account of the lag

SMT ICs I check back with the microscope after reflow / rework

Considering getting one for home use but I dont have the space. Need to make like 20k more a year to be able to afford renting somewhere and got knows how things will go the next couple of years
