I just saw a commercial for a Chinese PCB house that entertained me. The voice over had a perfect American pronunciation, but the text was a bit... Engrish. For example, "we invested [sic] the most updated equipment". So I'm just imagining some voice over actor going "I'm paid to read the lines, not to fix the text".

Really cool KiCAD plugin for generating interactive BOMs. I haven't used it yet, but the demos look great: https://openscopeproject.org/InteractiveHtmlBomDemo/
I have decided to delete my YouTube account. It is done. I will set up a Peertube instance instead. Peertube is a decentralized video hosting service, and entirely Free Software: https://joinpeertube.org/

Um, 1) How did no one notice a drug we've been using since the 1970s is very explosive
2) How did anyone NOT think THAT drug was explosive? LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT ALL THAT NITROGEN.
I knew most #electronics probe holders are outrageously expensive and there must be some "makeshift" versions that cost less. What I didn't expect is that all of those cheap ones are all marketed for hacking ECUs on cars. Apparently car modding is a big enough thing to give vendors an incentive to sell cheap probe holders for that. I guess they can be pretty useful for signals below 10 MHz.
