I think you overestimate the austimal level of /g/

No it's full of 90iq weebs uwu

Less than almost anywhere

@Tendril I stand corrected

Sadly I deal a lot with normies irl

>I'm above it all because I have an anime avatar

This makes you worse than normies

The omni-psyche turbo wizard 40+ year olds who REALLY know their shit lurk BBS forums.

Not /g/ or /tech/.

eevblog maybe

I like Dave

There are some smart people on /g/, I won't deny that, but not many.

/g/ is visited by wizards once in a while

I knew that one tripfag Marisa for like, 5 years on and off

They're REALLY sharp in ganoo/loonicks and C

But that's about it uwu

compsci is more compatible with channers than hard science or engineering /bait

I dunno.

I spent a year doing hardware fault-finding and the process you have to go through every time is autismal as fuck.

no doubt

My boss was one of those turbo wizards though, so that helped.

It's frustrating debugging bad connections

Especially when they're faulty by (bad) design

are you one of the fuckers that add a shitload of 0 ohm resistors unmarked so its imposible to reverse engineer?

Turns out that EEs aren't good mechanical engineers

I once had to diagnose a desktop which kept powering off for temp reasons

and eventually we just ruled that the temp sensor itself was fucking knackered

Which is really frustrating because the only way you can rule that is to stick your fingers in the heatsink and note that it's fucking cold even when the machine is 'overheating'

Imagine trying to do that for something like a guidance system

Horrifying.

And then convincing them "well, it's the motherboard's fault"

And you're shipping the built-in-test for the next contractor in the chain

can you change a temp sensor on a motherboard? , I thought most sensors are etched in silicon

And you can't do shit because contracts are already signed and you can't do a complete redesign because your little firm may be bankrupted

Yeah, sounds like it'd have you really backed into a corner.

software is comfy

You can always ship a patch

exceptvin embedded design...

Hardware is frightening and nightmarish in comparison

So you'd have to forgive if us hw guys are more autist

We literally have to have whole designs in our heads running in pseudo simulation casually
