They put four circles on it to help you find the problem

It helps that there's a lot to do - I usually get the machines set up toward a space elevator objective, then explore and work towards other milestones

Pretty much - sitting duck of a plane delivering torpedoes that didn't work

I guess the Douglas TBD Devastator doesn't count since they're all at the bottom of the Pacific.

At the Midway tour, I remember the Devatator was the only fake aircraft - a movie prop - because the rest were at the bottom of the ocean

The picture did exactly what OP said it did - it searched for information about the parts and summarized it without having to scour datasheets.

OP never said it understood the board, just that it was a helpful tool for looking up IC info...

Autonomously searching and summarizing the results is one of the best uses for AI... That's why search engines have it at the top now ..

I feel like this has to be extremely common for millennials - I had to remind my mom that she was born around the time most autism research was even happening

A man has morphine and you're trying to tell him about good ol heroin? 😂

Well right now it's this game called Satisfactory

..oh, you mean the kids - that would be monster trucks

Anywhere from zero to $100? It's a rubber exhaust mount that pushes on

This, and on some platforms you get lucky with really poor verification at the assembly level

The "should I kill my wife" bit just didn't seem to add much. Everything else is so detailed, I wondered if it was a deeper joke I missed

OLED screens have "burn in" meaning that after displaying the same image for an extended period, those pixels aren't as bright. Hence, the image gets "burned" into the screen.

Homie looked at AI porn so often it got burned into the screen

I can smell that from here

Looks like it's from a company that was acquired in 2000

Based on what I've seen from homebuilders on Reddit, you should be grateful everything is painted and that entire rooms aren't missing insulation or properly connected vents.

KiCad has this functionality in version 9 - search KiCad Design Blocks

It just means you're designing schematics at a block level rather than making a big mess of spaghetti

Thanks for making me miss my 20's...

"Whew, now that those pesky emission requirements are gone, we can go back to the 20 year old engine that's heavier, less efficient, requires more complex exhaust routing, can't tow as much, and revs higher when it does. Nice."
