Pin pitch means how tiny the physical pins in the connector can be spaced apart.

IR drop losses happen because a wire has resistance, it isn’t a perfect conductor. 28AWG wire has about 0.22ohm/m. Given a 2 meter cable, you might expect to see 0.44ohm one-way. Current is also travelling back, so the circuit “sees” another 0.44ohm. That’s a total of 0.88ohm

A wire will cause voltage drop following ohm’s law. V=I/*R. So for 1A of current, you will see 0.88V lost.

Say you’re trying to charge at 15W (5V 3A), your phone is only going to ‘see’ 2.36 volts, and 7.9W are wasted in the cable.

For a 100W device (20V, 5A), 4.4V are lost, also meaning 22W are wasted.

The concentration of them is rising exponentially, that’s the part that terrifies me.

It’s possible we just haven’t crossed a threshold yet.

And formula fed

They’re everywhere, i’m not sure that’s even physically possible.

So, middle school

I’m with you, it’s so fucked. And every time we lose manufacturing, we lose everything else. Engineering, sourcing, quality, follows manufacturing.

Ya because the tarriffs mean that a device already sold LOSES money to fulfil. Medical devices already don’t have great margins…

Bro mocking the unstable guy holding a gun for being chicken sounds like a good way to get shot

Oh i’m sure it will

If we’re making fun of him for chickening out, he’s def going to double down.

Microwave point-to-point radios are fastest because they travel through air, but more importantly, are typically the shortest path possible by line-of-sight.

Being 66.7% of speed of light doesn’t matter terribly when you consider that the cable path is shorter by more than 66.7% of path taken by satelite link.

Wait really? Butterworth is more like honey than maple syrup?

I guess butterworth is just flavored HFCS.

Rtlsdr too

How long until our very own tiananmen square?

Unchecked social media and smart phones. I don’t think humans are meant to be this connected.

Lead doesn’t help either.

It would be great to see people stand up to these kidnappings. Maybe even some good guys with guns

Allegedly, it only takes 3.5% of a population to enact change through nonviolent protests. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

Maybe give that an honest try first? Hard to unring a bell.

Oh we’re so cooked guys. It’s all over. We got switcheroo’d. The prisoner has talked the guard into the cage without his key.

We serve no purpose to them. They have all of the manufacturing, and the skill, and we have zero manufacturing.

They’ve made so much money doing work for us, now their rich are the ones buying the stuff they make.

We rocked the boat, but we are the ones that fell out. It’s literally the meme of the bike rider who sticks the branches into the spokes.

Apparently our country has decided to kamikazee the world econony, but we missed and yeeted ourselves into the ground. We attacked ourselves in confusion.

We pissed off everybody in a world where we fully depend on others.

This is getting scary lol
