Ok #electronics nerds. I must be doing something wrong.
(Edit: Narrator: he was doing something wrong. As usual. Probes plugged into the wrong holes on the multimeter!)
If I put my multimeter on resistance (that’s what I have done, isn’t it?) and I touch the 2 probes together, I expect to see basically 0 resistance. But I see 12.59. Then I touch the probes to the 2 terminals of my thermistor. I get basically the same reading. That makes no sense to me.
I mean, I think the thermistor has gone bad, but I also don’t understand whether I’m doing this right. Is this actually a common failure mode for thermistors or am I doing something dumb with my multimeter?
@paco Are plugs in right sockets for resistance measurement?
Many meters have different sockets for passive and active measurement (voltage/resistance vs current).

@paco it should be near 0 for probes together- perhaps a probe is bad?

@revk I think so?

@revk I think so?
@paco Should black always be in COM? Red in Ω
I mean that is confusing, but looks that way.

@paco @dashrb This is a lovely example of *** 4 MINUTES *** on the Fediverse.
A random person asks a deeply technical question.
4 minutes later they have working answer.
The fucking fediverse rocks.
OK, I am no linguist, it may be "The fediverse fucking rocks" - someone tells me which.
Glad to be a part of it.
I may go to the pub now...

@brendan Yep. I am embarrassed. Wrong hole, you idiot. https://infosec.exchange/@paco/116273308690418878

@FritzAdalis @revk @paco @dashrb I read “fucking Fediverse rocks” as being about one who is fucking rocks from the Fediverse.
While “Fediverse fucking rocks” is about the entire Fediverse have sex with rocks.
