Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️Electronics used to be all 5v. You can't do that anymore. It's all 3.3v. Because of woke.
>> @foone in reality they've taken 12v away from us
Ángela Stella MatutinaWill the government pay for our DC-DC converters?
@angelastella I dunno, that sounds like COMMUNISM to me. Electronic communism, the worst kind!
Gotta beat the commie perverts at their own game. Ruin them! We'll call it "voltage-affirming therapy" or something.
Ticktok@foone for now. We'll be doing level shifters to 2.1v or 0.8v at some point soon I'm sure of it.(especially as fpga's get more common in the maker space.)
@ticktok at least those voltages have the common sense to stay in their lane! Behind level shifters!
No one is making a microcontroller where the whole thing has 0.8v IO. Yet.
Andreas Bombe@ticktok @foone Not to get too serious in a jokey thread, but I haven't yet seen a FPGA that isn't able to handle 3.3 V in it's I/O banks.
Of course you can have only one voltage per bank, and you might want to connect chips that don't support or are not at their full potential at 3.3 V supply/IO voltage.

Nicolás Alvarez@recursive @aburka @foone I still have that complete electronics kit, and I recently scanned and uploaded all 1200 pages that came with it: https://archive.org/details/fg-electronica-modular
@recursive I once got curious anyway and tried to cut a resistor in half with my father's wire cutters. I damaged the tool 🙈

@nicolas17 @recursive @aburka @foone I learnt electronics by converting 4000series circuits to 74(ls) because my dad wouldn't buy me any 4000series parts for the projects in the book I had. ( But I could take anything from his 74 series stock)
King Naga Calyo Lucere-Delphi@foone It's all a scam by Big Coulomb to sell you less volts for more amps. >:(

Back in my day we had -15v and we *liked* it

@rolenthedeep @foone I'm so glad we don't need bipolar biasing supplies for much these days, those were such a huge pain
Ole-Morten 🚀👨🚀🌻📚@foone 48V or bust!

This is all too modern for me!

Kevin P. Fleming@foone I'm designing a small circuit now that has to have both +5V and +3V3. It's not dead yet.

C-27733@foone what do you mean 5 velocity and 3.3 velocity ???
robryk@foone do you know why 5v got chosen in the first place?

Andrew@foone now they’re trying to make 1.8V happen! I say we all go back to ±15V like god and the founding fathers intended
marinheiro@foone True, this woke idea that you shouldn't use power unnecessarily...
Irenes (many)@foone ouch. don't manifest this into existence. we've met people who think the concept of undecidability in mathematics was invented for partisan reasons and must be opposed for partisan reasons
rk: it’s hyphen-minus actuallyThere was that thing a while ago where the talking heads were somehow conflating General/Special Relativity and moral relativism and saying Relativity therefore was a hoax and it was exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.@ireneista @foone Their insistence on binaries means everything must be decidable!
The incompleteness theorems are just Marxist influence over Godel, and their acceptance by the Mathematics cabal is just more rot that must be excised from society. /s
@BoydStephenSmithJr @foone yeah if we had to try to describe the psychological and ideological roots of this sort of thing, it's that reductive world-views aren't compatible with the world having anything that isn't fully understood, and there's some sort of emotional reaction related to unwillingly realizing that
@BoydStephenSmithJr @foone but that's a guess. we are speculating about the inner experiences of people other than ourselves, so we don't want to pretend like that's ever more than guesswork.
Li ~ Crystal System@foone about as accurate too “you can’t do that anymore” (thing that you can still do it’s fine there’s just another thing you can do too)
Stumpy The Mutt@foone The Altair I cut my teeth on had an 8080 that needed +5V, -5V and +12V. Add -12V for the RS-232 interface and you had the full complement. None of this woke 0.8V FPGA nonsense!
