am i being paranoid and reading this wrong or are bluesky (or their contractor) retaining indefinitely all the data they collect for age verification?

why is shopping for simple hair care products multiple orders of magnitude harder than shopping for electronics components? where are the datasheets? meowwww
@saraislet i did not know about that book before seeing your post. i have been out of work for a year cos too burned out.
@dannyjpalmer yea but it's never one bad password or one employee, it's systematic failure and a weak password was the last straw
@saraislet halp it me
i have had this LED tester for years but only just realised the current markings printed on the front of the box bear no relationship to what it actually does...
across the top it claims:
2*2ma 2*5ma 3*10ma 4*20ma 2*30ma
but actually:
3*6ma 3*13ma 5*25ma 2*38ma
like not even the number of options or how they are arranged matches lol
what did that google pixel 6a battery capacity change software update actually do to my phone...? oh heck

@cccpresser thanks for explaining! kicad is doing great here, it's my just guessing as i go along that is mostly the issue. and if "SOP-4" and such is more a vibe than a standard then yea not much that can be done...
i am just going to wait till all the parts arrive, print the design on paper, and see if everything seems to vaguely line up :)
i guess if i was being very wish-list; maybe the footprint preview could show a 3d simulation of a component on it that the user can scale/adjust to see how well it matches? but that would still be a lot of assumptions and guessing
@janamarie yea... as a very beginner getting most of my components cheap with only vague details proved, i am rarely confident i am actually looking at the correct datasheet lol
modern electronics is trying to work out why are there 3 versions of "SOP-4" in KiCad and if any of them actually match what you just ordered from aliexpress... (and none of the datasheets you can find ever explicitly mention that chip coming in SOP-4, just a dimensions diagram that does not seem match any of these)

@lukegb none of them?
Age 7: princess phase
Age 17: no, I am SMART and INDEPENDENT and LIKE VIDEO GAMES, I'm not like those other girls
Age 27: *weary sigh* so patriarchy deliberately singles out tomboys for a condescending pat on the head to reinforce the idea that any woman who embraces femininity is inherently inferior, which only serves to further–

02:00 thoughts that turned out surprisingly useful: most kitchens come with a Faraday cage for 2.4 GHz
@flamingspork mmm and it feels very relatable
@flamingspork loved the storytelling via todo lists :3

taking votes on what the standardised food would be for energy efficiency calculations for air fryers
a Very rough estimate says that it will take ~400 cycles of cooking something for 15 minutes for a £100 air fryer to pay for itself in energy savings vs my oven. 500 cycles if it's 1h of cooking.
