bitsavers.orgI just posted "don't clean electronic boards with piezoelectric resonators or oscilators in an ultrasonic cleaner"
and someone replied "it works for me"
fuck hobbyists
No Starch Press should get someone to write an electronics book called
"Don't Do This"
and then explain why for each thing
for example:
"Do not let PVC jacketed cable (especially line cords) come into contact with styrofoam, especially packing peanuts." The peanuts will dissolve the jacket of the cable.

Bill, organizer of stuff@bitsavers Yep... Seen that happen in storage. It's messy.
Tube🌈 Time@bitsavers i hate it when this happens, it really ruins the jacket
Oblomov@bitsavers wait what
"Stone Cold" Yours Truly@bitsavers they could release a sequel called "Knock it Off" for when after you read "Don't Do This" and proceed to do it.
or
"Hold My Beer and Watch This"
some things that are bad ideas
1 - trying the "cook a hot dog with two nails and a zip cord" on a dill pickle (there is a DEC tech report on this)
2- gathering worms for fishing by wetting your lawn and taking the same zip cord but this time with two copper rods and sticking it into the ground
Andrew@bitsavers @Somarasu Dont you hate it when you want to cook a pickle and all you have is a power cord and some nails?
Luna Ruby Artemis 💛🤍💜🖤
Aaron Mahler@bitsavers I’d buy that and learn a lot for damn sure.
mmu_man@bitsavers now let's discuss how to remove SMD caps 😅
phooky@bitsavers if you write this book i will buy a dozen copies
Neko May@bitsavers It won't help, sadly. Anyone who *needs* to read it won't.
