There are people who dedicate their lives to solving problems 99.99% of humanity does not even know it has. If you have these people in your life, and are one of the 0.01% who understand, be sure to thank them in the name of the other 99.99% as well, they need it sometimes.

Europeans seem to think they have better green policy than the US; however, it seems they are simply better at moving industrial production overseas --which is not green at all.

We are big enough now, but I would have never founded my company in the EU with these laws; I would have flown to the US and done it there. I'm not joking; in the first year, we did like 40 packages in 10 countries.

Final version of our new Edge-Compute. All sensors are connected via PoE (IR-Cam, Temperature, Digital In, vibration/acceleration, humidity, oscilloscope, 4-20mA, EVERYTHING). Via the WAN interface then connects the edge device to the data-warehouse. I am actually really proud. Great Teamwork @odinthenerd @tabeatheunicorn @PhilippTheCron

Unfortunately GSIs FAIR Project just burned recently. I just needed a few powers to the ten of Antiprotons and I won't even get these. Not gonna lie, I'd be pretty upset if you now got some. youtu.be/OaoniOIdDz4?is=rBNh… – at Vienna, Austria

Do you need support, doing EMC compliance testing? Let me know. I think this is going to be my new job now.

Apparently I am now a marketing figure for a Chinese chain of pubs, that posted on social media, that even Germans come to drink their beer. To be fair, it is good beer 😅

OMG, who designed those sexy products?
EMC labs in China definitely have more personnel than the German ones 😅

Shenzhen is worth a visit. Especially when you want to go home twice as big. There is just too much delicious food around. If you ever find an electronics company, that is willing to hire me on a US salary, but work in Shenzhen - sign me up. – at Yuen Long District, Hong Kong

I don't know where this guy is going to end up, but wherever it is, they will be productive as hell.
I bought the domain pcbmiller.com to save you even more time, no need to use GitHub at all. Visit the site, upload your gerber files, and get the gcode in under 20 seconds, faster than it takes to install the alternatives. More improvements to come.

PCB MILLER IS WORKING! You can now generate the gcode to mill a PCB in UNDER ONE MINUTE. No installation, no dependencies, just ONE HTML FILE!!! I still have a lot of improvements to make but I would call this a complete victory. You can just make your own software.
