Amazon was toxic from day one, anticompetitive, borderline illegal, definitely corrupt as hell. It is what Epic Games Store would have been if it had been long before steam lol. The amount of shit that they bankrupted into the ground with cheap Chinese copies off the backs of VC funds while making tons of loss and then removing their storefronts…

But as soon as GabeN dies, steam will become shit probably as the vultures close in.

What people never seem to realize is that the most popular solar panel + inverter + battery configurations do not work when the grid goes down. Newer systems often have 1-2 outlets that are dedicated as “works with grid failure”.

This is by design so maintenance workers don’t get electrocuted working on lines that are thought to be unpowered.

You need special inverters with built in grid detection and independent frequency generation AND a switch between your meter and your house so that it will dynamically start/stop grid tying (or at least have a manual DPDT/DP4T high amp switch.

This is the biggest bait ever hahaha.

Android below red hat in corporate/authoritarian and equal to Ubuntu 😂 the OS that is trying to take away installing apps not from them and trying to fully track app developers while not giving a damn about malware that effects the user because it doesn’t effect their bottom line?

Cool, what does that have to do anything? Are we just swapping facts about ourselves?

I am a professional electronics engineer with experience in high speed data signal integrity analysis, years of circuit and pcb design experience in medical devices, industrial, and consumer electronics with multiple products on the market, and designing and debugging for EMC.

Vias are necessary for literally every part of electronics design beyond the basic I take a premade module and hook it up to these other 2 premade modules (which all have many vias on them), not just small packages.

Most PCBs nowadays are ≥4 layers. You need vias to use the center layers. Vias are necessary for ground return paths, stitching, shielding, RF plane coupling, signal integrity, and much much more. Single layer designing simply does not work if one is actually designing electronics and not just quick and dirty throwing 2 data busses together for a proof of concept.

BGAs don’t need vias, they are so small (0.5mm pitch and smaller) they usually need microvias (0.15mm/0.3mm ID/AR or smaller, which brings PCB prices from 15€ to 300€ for a set). Then the vias generally have to be filled at least and capped, optimally to not suck the solder through the vias from the balls. That is a whole other ballgame.
