It depends which language you're talking about I guess. The "Arduina" bit is clearly a joke
>The "Arduina" bit is clearly a joke How familiar are you with subversion of gendered language in feminist spaces? Calling it an "Arduina board" would not be out of the ordinary at all. Which, by the way, they would definitely know, and I very much doubt they are satirizing feminists.
Yes I would say I am quite familiar with such spaces and have even read relevant theory.
The subversion of language is sometimes poetic, sometimes just "play".
Regardless, the fact that so much of this masc-biased website's energy is being sucked in on this little prickle is evidence that the strategy is quite effective

To clarify, I really do enjoy the premise of the article. I’m a big fan of circuitry-as-art so I was excited to see what new ideas this brought to the table. It’s clear my tone in my original comment made it seem like I was fully disregarding the article and I’m sorry for coming across that way. In retrospect it was very snippy and it shouldn’t have been. I was just very thrown off by the comment in an article that i…
Fair enough, thanks for clarifying. Feminist spaces love to play with language. Many people just aren't accustomed to it

#114I understand but if they succeeded, it would mean that they would be destroying even more the environment as they would be able to take mud from everywhere

#115Interesting experiment, but on the other hand, maybe 3D printing would have less emissions than an open fire? I’ve not tried this, but it sounds like a good way to get fast turnaround for very simple circuits: https://bsky.app/profile/castpixel.bsky.social/post/3mf52azn...
They're not great for anything that might produce heat. Seeing a MOSFET slowly starting to imitate the Tower of Pisa after dissipating a measly 1 W for a few moments was a sight to behold. For about two seconds before I cut the power.
If heat dissipation matters and we're determined to 3D print at home then extruding a clay is probably the way to go. Laser sintering also seems relevant. For anyone concerned about an open fire a small electric oven isn't particularly expensive.
If you really wanted to go the route of printing plastic I guess you could fix the heat dissipation issue by using the plastic print to do lost PLA casting of an iron die with which you could cut a much thicker sheet of copper. But if you're going to melt iron you might as well give in and fire clay.
I once encountered a very old ceramic board related to telecoms. I'm not sure about the why but it consisted of a ceramic tablet with some sort of conductive resin printed onto it. A crude sort of layering was accomplished by printing a small spot of insulator on top of the junction where two traces crossed one another. I'd guess the board I saw dated to the mid 80s or earlier.

#117TL;DR: basically 1960s thick-film hybrid technology[1], but now drenched in 200% more eco-virtue-signaling BS. Stopped reading after the first few sentences as this is clearly preaching to a choir I'm not in.

And it's taxpayer funded, to boot. I definitely wouldn't be happy as an Austrian if I knew my taxes were going to something like this (meanwhile hobbyists elsewhere do projects like this on their own dime).

I’m just providing my perspective on an article written from a different perspective that I found interesting. I’m not looking for a fight.
