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

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

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

Tellurium!

just misread "reverse voltage protection" as "beverage voltage protection"

look, I don't know what kind of life hack this is and I don't want to know but I definitely don't want it anywhere near us

@ShugoWah@snouts.online aaa your icon finally federated yay

so we have no idea what happened to that prescription but now we're terrified of sending it in too early because what if that happens again

but this leads to us always sending it in too _late_ instead, meaning we run out of medicine for several days each time it's time for a refill and that's always very stressful

I really really hate this >.<
Our insurance requires that we use one specific pharmacy, which is a mail-order pharmacy. We have extreme difficulty mailing in prescriptions because of one time when we sent the prescription too early (it's a controlled substance so there are restrictions on when they can fill prescriptions) they said they'd hold the prescription until they could fill it, then they promptly lost the prescription and later told us they aren't allowed to hold them
