do you get any sort of notification on here if someone denies a follow request? There's one person I could swear I clicked follow on who apparent I am not following and now I'm worried I might have done that multiple times and I hope that didn't seem creepy to them I just have a bad memory >.>

Why does it seem like every op amp bills itself as a "precision op amp"?

the word kind of loses meaning when it's applied to everything on the market

today's random space fact:

The rings of Saturn are over 70,000km wide, but their average thickness is only on the order of 30 meters.

HOLY SHIT EVERYONE SHUT UP A SECOND, I JUST REALIZED THAT "UMBRAGE" AND "THROWING SHADE" ARE ETYMOLOGICALLY RELATED

procrastinating? read xkcd's What Ifs! you'll be amazed and astounded at the ridiculousness.

(also it's fine if it's just a buck converter, but buck/boost or SEPIC or Ćuk or some other thing that can do both above and below input voltage would be preferred)

For all the electrical engineers out there: Do you know if they make digitally-programmable DC-DC converter modules with a wide output range? I'm looking for something that can do up to at least 12V, preferably up to 18 or 20, and that can ideally go all the way down to 0V output but I expect it'll probably have a minimum around 0.7V or something

The problem is that digital potentiometers aren't usually rated for more than 5-ish volts on their terminals.

I like the Ćuk converter topology for the simple reason that it was invented by someone named Slobodan Ćuk and that is a very strange name to our western ears

Talk like a pirate day 

“They vilify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this difference, they rob the poor under the cover of law, forsooth, and we plunder the rich under protection of our own courage; had you not better make one of us, than sneak after the asses of those villains for employment?" - Samuel Bellamy

sudden "messing up in every social interaction I'm having" feelings so I'm going to go play video games for a bit

I love this package for a dc-dc converter, it's tiny and kind of cute with the capacitor and inductor poking out the top like that

apparently Sony is copying Nintendo and making a playstation version of Nintendo's NES/SNES minis

How the hell are they going to narrow down the games to put on that thing? The PS1 had such a lot of great games on it.

🆋 why does this unicode character exist

hey, have y'all heard of the tufted deer? it's a species of deer that has fangs instead of antlers, and they're the most Furry animal that i've never seen anyone use as a fursona

That got a lot of replies very quickly, thank you everyone

Question about some terminology I saw someone use: what does it mean for someone to be "a neet"?

oh dear, youtube has started recommending us those weird youtube videos about people attempting to make perpetua mobiles
