Nothing competes with JLC but circuit hub isn’t terrible

This and sheet metal manufacturing from Oshcut have been game changers for me

To throw another in the mix, SendCutSend has consistently been a reliable and affordable option for 2D cut parts. They recently added CNC machining offerings, though I can't speak to their affordability on that.

Overseas will almost always win on price (at least in small quantities), but it's hard to beat the turnaround from local manufacturers...

Overseas can work with crazy turnarounds too. Once I ordered a bunch of stuff from Digikey, and the parcel came around from the tiny village of Thief River Falls MN to rural Bavaria in less than 30 hours, picking/handling included. And free shipping, despite being less than 100€ in volume.

They were just on Linus Tech Tip.

Not true, you can make the R G and B points far enough out to capture the entire human gamut

Maybe they wired up a agent to file lawsuits

I always leave a 0 ohm DNP on any TX/RX line.

I’ve been working with MIP solvers a lot at work recently, and the depth of black magic is so deep it’s hard to comprehend. Even after the presolve there are so many tradeoffs and structures to exploit it’s hard to understand the whole system

I’ll believe this when I see it on GitHub - rooting for them

I agree with your premise, but I think it’s also important to reconcile this with the idea that nothing is simple. Everything that’s made is usually much more complex than it appears in the surface

I just use Debian these days

ERCOT operates under a “connect and manage” interconnection philosophy. This means things can actually get built quickly (unlike other ISOs), but some management is required.

Of course, there are some downsides to this approach, but overall I think it’s a superior. Just look at renewable and battery penetration compared to other ISOs.
