@whitequark@mastodon.social I got a no-name brand from a random Taobao vendor, no manual, no calibration report, I don't think it's purchasable out of China. I don't even know who makes them. :woozy_baa:
You're in a maze of incompatible SMA connectors, all alike. Just updated my SMA tolerance super-reference, with more legacy standards (IEC 60169-15:1979) added. Apparently even big firms like Rosenberger are still making legacy 60169 connectors that violate the modern 61169 protrusion rule. https://gist.github.com/biergaizi/2420faf4fa2dbb8ca4666c3a75918455#electronics
Connector savers? More like connector destroyers. Just look at the center pin protrusion of the left adapter in comparison to a good one, visible even by naked eyes! #electronics
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me@mikoto@akko.wtf@chjara@akko.wtf@xwyqi@den.lonewolf.rocks There's a hidden panel from the repo's README.md, click to expand. It says there are 8232 standard five-digit Misakas (from 0~20001), 764 five-digit Misakas (w/ Leading Zeros), 164 four-digit Misakas (w/ LZ) 23 three-digit Misakas (w/ LZ), 10 two-digit Misakas (w/ LZ), so at least 9193 Misakas.
@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me@chjara@akko.wtf Here are some examples of the Misaka sisters clone army meme accounts in China. I can't use regex, so I can't match names without the word "number/No" - the true account count is likely over 9000, some were even web celebrities. Not limited to Bilibili, it used to be everywhere. Unfortunately, newcomers probably don't know this phenomenal 2010s online meme.
@chjara@akko.wtf Fun fact: Back in the 2010s when Railgun ruled the anime world in China, if you're not sure what name to use online, you can simply be "Misaka + 5-digit ID". I know three Misakas sisters, two are/were on Fedi. :mikoto:
Q: How do you know if the RF part you got is of high-quality? A: When it comes with a wooden box.
Wood packaging is a relic of the 1960s and earlier lab gears, but since buyers are spending enough to pay for the boxes, they escaped the plastic downcosting by high-end part vendors...
