Thank you for the gift basket @LinusTech ! The ratcheting mechanism on the screwdriver is actually pretty slick. I can see now why you are proud of it.

About a year ago I found out the CO2 levels in my home office were high enough to impact my cognitive function - NOT good.

If you work from home or in a tight space, I highly recommend finding an air quality sensor with a good CO2 capability.

I loved watching Allen Pan's laser razor video

This guy built a neural network that controls a toy truck out of jellybean analog components!

@MrBeast If they are indeed lying, destroy them. They view you as a "nice guy" who can be taken advantage of time and time again since you won't stand up for yourself. Also, if they are lying about you, you think they aren't lying about other people? Can those people afford to sue?

Sam Aldhaher made some unintentionally funny videos about electronics using Google veo3 AI

@eevblog This sounds like how Buzzfeed used misleading Facebook video view counts to swindle advertisers into giving them more money than they were worth. Source: https://t.co/Ms9yucSGqa

I made a new Youtube video.

This guy tested some tantalum capacitors from Aliexpress versus other suppliers. The results were not surprising.

@siposdmihai Ok after 2 months I can tell you it is absolutely fantastic

Protip: If you have a portable air conditioner it might be worth insulating the air hose with bubble foil.

@toly Also, taking a guess and reading between the lines here, try looking into multistage coilgun designs as single stage designs are very inefficient.

[Afroman @afrotechmods]

@toly More detailed answer requires you to tell us what the load is, as that will determine the voltage on the capacitor array, which will then in turn help answer which specific capacitors to buy, what switch to use, and what conductors. There might also be impedance matching needs.

[Afroman @afrotechmods]

@toly Simplest answer is used surplus Maxwell ultracapacitors, silicon controlled rectifier, and multiple very thick conductors to minimize inductance and skin effect.

@corkeram2 It's an old Fluke. You can get much better nowadays for cheaper.

@siposdmihai I got an LG LP1419IVSM. This is my first day using it so I can't give you a proper review. At least it's quieter than my previous air conditioner which is nice!
