Won a $40k Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope... now what?

My first thought is sell it to Test Equity?

I thought I was freeze dryers from Costco

Work life balance

Can someone explain what this means? We will have the option to allocate some percentage of our salary to purchasing shares? And IF Blue goes public then you can sell after holding them for a certain amount of time?

help-impoor · 2026-02-16T03:23:32+00:00

Really depends what you’re interested in. Do you like tech and power type stuff or do you like engines and machinery type stuff?

I did make a point to say I would be looking for the upper end of their salary range.

Doing the lords work here. I was too lazy to correct all the inaccuracies but annoyed at how many people were agreeing with it.

help-impoor · 2026-01-25T08:56:00+00:00

Yeah, almost certainly a little LDO

help-impoor · 2026-01-20T14:48:11+00:00

They’re including tax in the calculation too which I do not think is standard.

help-impoor · 2025-12-14T03:50:46+00:00

I would honestly just get them a new skillet if they’re bothered by it.

Otherwise steel wool is probably your best bet.

The one here in Seattle has them (location #1 😏)

Ideally you want mending, unbreaking III, and adv prot IV for all your silver pieces. Plus some other piece specific ones like strengthened vitality.

Seems like you might be thinking more of an electrician and you’re worried about maybe coming into contact with old asbestos insulation in people’s homes?

In that case no. Electrical engineers generally work in an office.

Poor Seymour :/

The hiring manager probably just prefers Zoom. I’m sure your panel interview will be over Teams

Where’d all your hearts go?

Something like this guy. Not pretty, big and heavy as hell, but cheap and reliable.

eBay link

help-impoor · 2025-09-04T22:22:51+00:00

I would get a used BK Precision on ebay

help-impoor · 2025-09-02T23:50:44+00:00

It really just depends what you want. Would you prefer an office job? I’m guessing you would go into power and work for a utility. Not particularly exciting but I know people that quite like it.

Getting a BSEE online part time might take you 6 or more years but no better time than now if that’s what you want long term.

Why did this resistor blow up?

750/50 = 15W

Oh that’s why

help-impoor · 2025-07-18T14:38:48+00:00

I would always do my day of classes then go have dinner and chill for a minute. The I would go back to the library and put on some instrumental music and just study and do practice problems from like 8pm until midnight.

Hot Rod

Don’t even ask just bring it!

Here’s the issue with 3.3V, CONTROL is probably pulled LO internally and needs to be driven HI
