worst part: this is the reference standard that WCAG 2.2 follows, so if you want to follow W3C accessibility guidance correctly you have to pay ISO for access to the standard.

"here's a standard for protecting folks with photosensitivity. it costs over 100€ to view"

absolute ghouls.

@azonenberg nice! I assume you're targeting Zdiff=100Ω on this?

@azonenberg nice. I just noticed the trace seems to be on both sides of the pad - what's the deal with that?

@azonenberg ah, cool, thanks. I did wonder if it was a simulation thing. I've still not managed to get my head around EM sims, I'm hoping to get time to follow along with niconiconi's guide before too long (although I can't say I'm looking forward to battling FreeCAD). shame Sonnet is just insanely pricey.

@azonenberg I vaguely recall you talking about it before but I can't remember the details.

@azonenberg lol how did that come about? worked there, or just patched it in?

@azonenberg hahaha

@tef this human is provided as-is

scammers preying on people's basic decency fucks me off no end.

I gave two of the "desperately need money for insulin" ones the benefit of the doubt a week back, despite being pretty sure they're bots, and lo and behold today I see another three accounts using the exact same images with slightly different pretexts and donation links.

scamming people out of donations while also eroding trust in people who really are desperate is the lowest of the low.

@foone @unnick lol bitplanes in 2bpp

@whitequark TPS5430 can have a little rail collapse,,, as a treat

@whitequark iirc you said it took a heavy hit at some point, so not surprising the MLCC cracked and you have shorted layers inside it

I love wikipedia

ISTR there's a wikipedia rule specifically about people doing self-inserts of their pets, because everyone wants *their* cat/dog/whatever to be the article picture, and if that isn't the most wholesome reason for an edit war I don't know what is.

@whitequark @4censord oh while we're on this subject, avoid FedEx right now if you can. they're tacking on >£100 disimbursement fees and hoping people think they're tariffs that they have to pay. they have no legal basis for the fee and you can just say "I have no contract with you and didn't ask you to pay the customs fees for me, I'm not paying that" but it's a whole headache.

(EDIT: although if it's DDP - duty paid at checkout with JLC - then you don't need to worry too much about it)

@4censord @whitequark 99.5% arrive within 15 days, 0.5% arrive after 15 days.

@4censord @whitequark and honestly I love this feature on JLC, it gives you an independent overview of how reliable / fast each delivery service is and how often there ends up being a problem, and there's no way in hell you'd get this kind of breakdown from the actual courier companies (and even if you could there's no way you could trust them not to fudge the numbers).

@whitequark idk, not _terrible_ considering they're, uh, actually I don't even know the term for percent but per 10000 instead of 100.

@whitequark try heating it directly in the frame, with the stencil in place. the solder balls will preferentially stick to the pads, not the stencil.
