As an off-topic remark, I've used the qoitech arc power analyzer quite a bit and it's quite nice and easy to use, when your DUT is <5V and low amps. There's also the Nordic PPK2 ki…

It is. You can basically check out the company linkedin, people in similar roles/YoE, then google their name to find out their birthday, then just call our IRS. Ask for declared in…

To add and not nitpick, but to add the 'a' to the subjective, we make a verb out of it. But it's not immediately obvious what that means, could also be "to put in a cabinet" (which…

A fun thing you can do with this excellent sw is to slice a 3d object into slices to cut with a laser cutter. Ie you'll get a bunch of layers of eg cardboard or plywood, which you …

Yup, an important caveat. And sometimes, it may not be available, due to it not legally being allowed to be sold there (eg not following relevant regulations). And that's a valid e…

It's like with cars - better performing drive trains (et al) is used to increase the power envelope instead of lowering fuel consumption, since that leads to more sales allegedly.

IIRC lego had two actual patents: the basic brick, and the classic figure. The brick is expired while the figure isn't. Hence you can find "alternate" bricks, but not figures. They…

I would assume, yet _another_ standard. There are a bunch of them, and product builders are taking a long long time to properly implement, and often buggy. And they often result in…
