sometimes I like to just look on digi-key and click the most extreme values in their parametric search stuff (yes, i'm a nerd)

apparently, you can get an op amp, the LMC662C, with a maximum input bias current of two _femtoamperes_. 0.002 pA. That's _ridiculous_. How do you even measure that‽

...apparently they make 8-pin SOT-23 packages. Huh.

imagine a microcontroller with digital i/o pins that can source 50 amperes....

oh dear, they were talking about drawing this power from a _digital i/o_ pin

*looks on stackexchange* *sees someone asking if they can use a 10A 24V power supply for a 10.4A motor* "Okay, that's probably fine..." *notices that they say "it will take 5V power from my arduino and step it up to 24V to power the motor"* "No, nope, not gonna happen, no way."

A store we went to the other day sold both non-flammable and regular aerosol dusters. For the same price, too, and the same weight.

okay does anyone know anything about fixing android phones after they update

apparently they decided it was a good idea to animate the home button now and I do _not_ like it. _at all._ That section of the screen is supposed to be monochrome and it should not have multicolored dots swirling around

@ashiinu@snouts.online every time I see your name I think that the emoji is a scoop of trans-flag-colored ice cream at first because it's scaled down so much

I find this mildly amusing and worth sharing!

Very few games have ever managed to get really deep emotional responses from us. I consider those games some of the best we've ever played:

Mother 3
Tales of Xillia 2
Every Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game

(we've never seen the game before but we have heard that it's bad)

*sees literally three seconds of footage of Metroid: Other M*

Holy crap how the hell did they mess up Samus's characterization this bad
