Actually thatās a lot of turns of wire. My bet is an LF card.

If only they had RFID, that would be the cherry on top.
Also why does Aliexpress always try to translate things into my local language!? Spanish kinda sucks already, Chinglish that has been automatically translated into Spanish is even worse!

Right?! I have to switch the language every single time. I wish it was saved. The translations are funny though.

Mouser also does this and they translate the component labels when shipping to Latin America. So the human readable text gets mangled into meaninglessnessā¦ Whatās the point of adding that text if Iām going to have to look up the datasheets and write my own notes on said labels while prototyping. And those notes are often along the lines of āred LEDā or āschottky diodeāā¦
Seriously, who came up with this dumb idea!? It just gets in the wayā¦

I seem to recall someone here owns/works at sticker company, or maybe a hobbyist, but my search skills brought up nothing, or my skills just suck. If itās you, was wondering if you do small time commission work. If so, can you DM me?
I donāt want to sound like an angry guy screaming about never doing business with somebody again.

I think Iām done with amazon prime. I signed on for 2 day shipping, which went to a week or more during covid, but never came back. The only reason I stayed was the prime video, which I use alot. Now theyāre going to fill it up with ads, on a service Iām PAYING FOR.
Done. Just done. Will be pulling the plug just before the ads go online.
The only change Iāll have to make in order to get everything the same with/or without prime is to group orders to 35.00 or more. Shipping will still be slow, videos will still have ads, and Iāll get to keep my 14.99 / month.

I dropped Prime years ago. Was a subscriber when it was only $100/year, stayed on when they bumped it to $120/year because I still got value out of it. When they went to $140/year, I said āhell no!ā Prime video has some decent shows, but nothing that canāt be sourced elsewhere. Often times my orders are over the free shipping minimum anyways, so it just wasnāt worth it for me.
