i built @ApexWaves in one of the strangest lanes imaginable: legacy test and measurement in a dying niche - but they are parts engineers need when serious systems go down. no vc, no hype, or theatrical marketing. just a penchant for quality, collector level inventory & a desire to deliver. welcome to the niche.

πŸ“‘ Industry News: Samtec Pushes Millimeter-Wave Connectivity to 120 GHz Samtec has introduced the 100-CM Series, a new 1.0 mm vertical compression-mount connector designed for advanced RF and test applications from DC to 120 GHz. Its solderless, field-replaceable design and precision alignment features are built to improve repeatability, simplify integration, and maintain strong signal integrity through W-band and into D-band frequencies. For engineers working on next-generation RF, microwave, and high-speed digital systems, this new connector offers a flexible alternative to more complex or costly interconnect solutions.

In honor of Matthew McConaughey’s birthday tomorrow, here’s a reminder to write down your goals. At 22 years old, McConaughey wrote down 10 goals for his future self. Decades later, he realized he had accomplished or was working toward every single one. πŸ“·: Getty

πŸŽ₯ Featured Part: NI USB-4431 This week’s featured part is the NI USB-4431, a dynamic signal acquisition device built for high-quality sound, vibration, and AC measurements. With simultaneous analog input and output in a convenient USB form factor, it’s a strong choice for portable testing, acoustic analysis, and signal characterization. Watch the reel to learn more about the USB-4431 and where it fits in dynamic measurement applications. #FeaturedPart #SoundAndVibration #NIHardware #DataAcquisition #TestAndMeasurement

the f/a-18 has an obsolete parts problem... so does every test system that qualifies those parts. PXI engineers know where to find us.

another great use was building a local β€œsite” with all my X bookmarks, that i gave to hermes as a study guide. for local models, it’s a great way to dump your interests.

i believe all engineers should now become product managers. there are already startups with one founder doing everything with agents. people who have been laid off can build their own companies.
