CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Fishrock I love that this generates as much revulsion as my goatse footprint

@JoshuaACNewman Yeah that's actually a thing. I haven't had the opportunity to use it, and I don't think I'd want to find myself in that situation.

Advanced: Embedded PCB Components - The Tech Blog

Based on a Reddit question, I thought I should address the topic of Embedded components on PCBs. In its simplest form, embedding components is the process of taking any parts like capacitors, resistors, or active ICs which you might place on the top and bottom layers to the inner layers of your PCB. This means […]

@JoshuaACNewman Way too long, but I was giggling to myself the whole time so it was worth it.

But the routing was weirdly easy, the vias already touch every layer so you just assign each fill a net and it connects them.

@YetAnotherGeekGuy Just have them dunk the whole thing in solder

It could also be fun to make this a solid cube of PCB with parts on all 6 sides

@MLE_online I just need like 1000 people to want these to amortize the insane $1200 "engineering fee."
I wonder if I could talk to a fab and let them know that this isn't some crazy radar board and they can do it kinda shitty.

@MLE_online Shitposts (but now I kinda want to make a real sideways PCB)

This is my worst and favorite idea I've had in a while.

I finally found a use for 32 layer PCBs!

@FurryBeta @MLE_online This gives me an idea for increasing international demand for US dollars...

@thriftwicker @MLE_online omg without the text this meme is a perfect depiction of waking up after drinking *right on the edge of* too much and just powering through through it like an adult.

@FurryBeta @MLE_online I love that being able to afford to smoke cigarettes is slowly becoming a flagrant show of wealth.

I imagine some silly future scene where some dude rolls up in a Bentley and another person in a leather jacket's like, "oh yeah?" and then casually lights a cigarette (that costs the same as that car.)

@joeycastillo I can't believe you made me do this.

@joeycastillo Goatse is fucking everywhere man. I swear one day the hands of God will hold open a portal to another universe and a bunch of us will just be like "heh"

@joeycastillo omg fuck, now I see it.

@jasoncoon I would too if there was an intermediate footprint between 0805 and 1206

Okay I prettied it up a bit

Which footprint should I use here?
Yes.

@elyn @csolisr I mean, complaining about Python's type system and edited Lovecraft quotes on their own are popular pastimes here. You blended them together with a sprinkle of 4th wall breaking into pure Mastodon catnip.

@elyn omg I was right holy shit
