Next time you think no one will use your software project, just remember: someone is working on a navigation system for a car's built-in head unit.

A fully open-source alternative to the Analogue Pocket is coming to a Crowd Supply campaign. Game Bub targets GB, GBC, and GBA games. It's an FPGA-based emulation platform. And it looks pretty slick. crowdsupply.com/second-bedroom…

Before PDFs, you could order a Microfiche version of test equipment manuals to stay up-to-date.

TDK introduced a 1uF, 100V capacitor (MLCC) in an EIA 0603-sized case. The press release suggests it targets 48V systems (like data centers.) At 50V, the effective capacitance isn't even 200 nF. product.tdk.com/en/search/capa… That DC bias effect is real.

I just came across Visashot - a Python tool for creating beautiful screenshots from vintage test equipment. Up to 120 instruments supported. damien.douxchamps.net/elec/visashot/
