well, we've finished live a live
good game. i hope the upcoming remake does it justice; square enix has shown they have some pretty unpredictable quality when it comes to remakes--sometimes you get a final fantasy 7 remake, and sometimes you get a chrono cross radical dreamers edition
-F
still think agilent was a much better name than keysight
-F
also they only come in n-channel but good luck finding a p-channel jfet that can handle that kind of voltage anyway, they don't make p-channel SiC devices
-F
vacuum tubes are really just jfets that you have to get hot
-F
i wonder how long it will be before we no longer have vacuum tubes in every household
will they ever find something to replace the magnetron? is there even much reason to try to replace the magnetron?
-F
this means that trying to simulate a silicon carbide fet or even a bog-standard silicon igbt is near impossible unless you make your own model (which takes a lot of time and care) because all the models have convergence problems
-F
not in terms of accuracy but in terms of simulability, they always seem to have discontinuities in at least the first derivative if not the i-v relationship itself, tons of b sources with conditionals and nonsense like taht
-F
why are manufacturers' spice models always so bad
-F
randomly thinking about possibly the best post we've written: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/543921/why-are-multimeter-batteries-awkward-to-replace/543935#543935
multimeter safety engineering is quite a thing

sorry french people, the internet (at least my totally representative seven-person sample of it) prefers prance and trance over france

kemet/yageo otherwise makes pretty good capacitors though, get a lot of mlccs from them and they also make some nice high-voltage high-capacitance electrolytics (we're talking like 220 μF 550 V capacitors for not even all that much money, i think they were like $5 each)
dunno why they would want to buy a company like rifa that's known primarily for making capacitors that explode
-F
apparently you can still buy RIFA capacitors; they're owned by kemet now
i don't know why on earth you would ever want to though. they're notorious for being horrendously unreliable and dangerous
-F
soldering is nice
-F
unrelated to anything: fuck the riaa
-F
why did they call it a veterinarian when they could have called it a dogtor

@kobi_lacroix you make a lot of good art <3

long (1500 characters): Computers are literally magic
microscopic sigils etched into ritually purified crystals to give them the ability to think, linked together with carefully designed patterns made of highly specific materials to other thinking crystals, with a panel of liquified crystal--or, in the case of the emerging μLED panels, millions of tiny crystal balls--used to present information to the mage operating it, and other crystals with different microscopic sigils that let them see instead, that the mage uses to tell the artifice what it should be doing, in conjunction with more of the carefully designed patterns that have deliberate gaps in them, gaps which the mage can close and open as another method of telling the construct what to do. These constructs can also link to ley lines that span the globe, allowing rapid communication with other like constructs--and large sigils made of miles of precisely positioned and sized copper wire can make additional, miniature ley lines through which the devices can both draw power and link to the main communication leylines. Sorcerers are currently experimenting with longer and longer range communication without the use of leylines, sending information through the aether using specialized arrangements of copper and purpose-made magic-infused stone that can transfer information, though not objects, between the physical world and the aetherous otherworld where information can move without leylines to be transferred back to the world of physicality using another identical magic-infused stone
