Go Through the Details of Board Game components Preparation

To produce cards of different sizes, die-cutting machines or modified automatic punching are used for cardboard components such as boxes. There are two processes used by board game maker for this purpose: plasticization and lamination. The thickness of the plastic is the only difference between plasticizing and laminating. The plasticization is much more rigid as the lamination is 100 to 200…

SMT Boardgame Kickstarter Smells Like Suspicious Fish

There's an SMT boardgame. Curb your enthusiasm, you shouldn't back it. And if you did, lower your pledge to like a buck until they clear things up, because as it stands it seems like an incredibly suspect product.

Checking through the Kickstarter comments and Japanese Tweets about the boardgame makes the entire thing seem poorly planned at best. I'll summarize as best I can;

The designer is incredibly infamous in the boardgame community

Naoki Matsunaga, a self-described "board game sommelier", is the designer. You'll find tweets lamenting that "the board game sommelier is involved". Why is he so hated? This thread goes into detail: co_boze on twitter. Part of it is they bashed Werewolf over one game they saw of it, another is they took on a kind of public-face role for boardgames appearing on late night TV shows to talk about them in ways that annoyed boardgamers. They seem to have designed a boardgame based on "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" which ripped off Sid Sackson's 'I'm the Boss". But it's what co_boze talks about next that's really bizarre. The game was apparently banned from most board game cafes and playing spaces. Seminars where people could play the game were hosted, but the venues that hosted these seminars all closed down.

If you keep looking through comments, you start finding claims that his company does multi-level marketing (ie pyramid schemes). To be honest, I don't know if this is true. But even if it isn't, it is really not hard to find people who know of this guy and would really really really REALLY prefer he was not involved.

"Oh fuck, it's THIS guy" is not a reaction that inspires confidence

2. Questionable development and presentation issues.

A regular collaborator with Atlus recently tweeted "The use of AI in Atlus works or derivative works is stictly prohibited." He responded to a reply asking if this was about a board game.

The staff running the SMT BG Kickstarter later clarified the actual -game- wouldn't use AI graphics... but from the looks of it, the promotional materials do.

Dig that... generic metal pipe aesthetic. Nothing screams MegaTen like black plumbing to nowhere.

In totally unrelated news, a board game manufacturer recently tweeted that a Kickstarter used their name without permission, and they're not sure why.

Quote tweets on the post would suggest it was the SMT board game. The comment they are loosely referring to is this:

In a follow-up post, they do specify "The product figures will be made of PVC." and "We will be manufacturing the games in partnership with a factory in China that has a proven track record... " "Figure director Kimura Yuzuru has over 10 years of experience..." and other boring development stuff that I have no issue with. What I do have issue with is how they can say things like they're "considering" which manufacturer to use and namedropping other companies that they're unrelated with. (While I was typing this post, they posted an update that clarified the CMON issue and literally nothing else: here.)

The boardgame is being presented with machine translated English printed on the same cards as the Japanese. But the actual game will have a translator check everything.

they hire translators to localize all game content

Additionally, there was a week long radio silence on the Kickstarter. For reference, Kickstarters are normally very active with the project planners dropping updates, responding to feedback and clearing up any concerns.

Some of the concerns were "How does the game actually play?", a question that would be best answered by dropping a rulebook for people to look at, or better yet showing them an entire run of the game. The SMT BG Kickstarter has boldly chosen neither. Devs have commented the game is on Version 11 and plays well, which makes it strange that they can't share any of it with anyone else.

Actually, when you compare this to how most Kickstarters are run, it becomes very clear the SMT BG Kickstarter is, uh, kinda failing in all possible regards. The first Backer Goal is "Jack Frost Dice" at 2000 backers (not funds raised, BACKERS). Despite getting 300%(!!!) of the initial pledge needed, there are no bonuses or unlocks.

Mind, this lack of information comes after they already delayed the start to supposedly improve Backer Goals and other aspects.

There aren't a shortage of issues - it's ICREA's first boardgame (but not their first tango with SMT; they made the SMT30th Logo, for instance.) The timeline seems totally wack. The staff have been incredibly slow to respond. Cards with tiny font and two languages printed on them. Etc, etc. Maybe individually these issues wouldn't be too concerning. But all of them combined make the product seem incompetently run at best, and at worst an actual scam.

I'm hardly a big influencer in the SMT scene (my biggest contribution is when that fucking succubus gif gets 36k likes on Twitter every 5 months) but I haven't seen any English speaking sources discuss this in detail, when there really should be at least some noise about all of this. Still. if just one of you end up saving 600 bucks on what ends up being a trashfire carcrash project because of this post, then that'll have made the past 30 minutes of typing this shit worth it.

[andmaybegayer]

Hello. So what's the deal with computer chips? Let's say, for example, that I wanted to build a brand new Sega Genesis. Ignoring firmware and software, what's stopping me from dissecting their proprietary chips and reverse-engineering them to make new ones? It's just electric connections and such inside, isn't it? If I match the pin ins and outs, shouldn't it be easy? So why don't people do it?

The answer is that people totally used to do this, there's several examples of chips being cloned and used to build compatible third-party hardware, the most famous two examples being famiclones/NESclones and Intel 808X clones.

AMD is now a major processor manufacturer, but they took off in the 70's by reverse-engineering Intel's 8080 processor. Eventually they were called in to officially produce additional 8086 chips under license to meet burgeoning demand for IBM PC's, but that was almost a decade later if I remember correctly.

There were a ton of other 808X clones, like the Soviet-made pin-compatible K1810VM86. Almost anyone with a chip fab was cloning Intel chips back in the 80's, a lot of it was in the grey area of reverse engineering the chips.

Companies kept cloning Intel processors well into the 386 days, but eventually the processors got too complicated to easily clone, and so only companies who licensed designs could make them, slowly reducing the field down to Intel, AMD, and Via, who still exist! Via's CPU division currently works on the Zhaoxin x86_64 processors as part of the ongoing attempts to homebrew a Chinese-only x86 processor.

I wrote about NES clones a while ago, in less detail, so here's that if you want to read it:

Early famiclones worked by essentially reverse-engineering or otherwise cloning the individual chips inside an NES/famicom, and just reconstructing a compatible device from there. Those usually lacked any of the DRM lockout chips built into the original NES, and were often very deeply strange, with integrated clones of official peripherals like the keyboard and mouse simply hardwired directly into the system.

These were sold all over the world, but mostly in developing economies or behind the Iron Curtain where official Nintendo stuff was harder to find. I had a Golden China brand Famiclone growing up, which was a common famiclone brand around South Africa.

Eventually the cost of chip fabbing came down and all those individual chips from the NES were crammed onto one cheap piece of silicon and mass produced for pennies each, the NES-on-a-chip. With this you could turn anything into an NES, and now you could buy a handheld console that ran pirated NES game for twenty dollars in a corner store. In 2002. Lots of edutainment mini-PC's for children were powered by these, although now those are losing out to Linux (and now Android) powered tablets a la Leapfrog.

Nintendo's patents on their hardware designs expired throughout the early 2000's and so now the hardware design was legally above board, even if the pirated games weren't. You can still find companies making systems that rely on these NES chips, and there are still software houses specializing in novel NES games.

Why doesn't this really happen anymore? Well, mostly CPU's and their accoutrements are too complicated. Companies still regularly clone their competitors simpler chips all the time, and I actually don't know if Genesis clones exist, it's only a Motorola 68000k, but absolutely no one is cloning a modern Intel or AMD processor.

The die of a Motorola 68000 (1979)

A classic Intel 8080 is basically the kind of chip you learn about in entry level electrical engineering, a box with logic gates that may be complicated, but pretty straightforwardly fetches things from memory, decodes, executes, and stores. A modern processor is a magic pinball machine that does things backwards and out of order if it'll get you even a little speedup, as Mickens puts it in The Slow Winter:

I think that it used to be fun to be a hardware architect. Anything that you invented would be amazing, and the laws of physics were actively trying to help you succeed. Your friend would say, “I wish that we could predict branches more accurately,” and you’d think, “maybe we can leverage three bits of state per branch to implement a simple saturating counter,” and you’d laugh and declare that such a stupid scheme would never work, but then you’d test it and it would be 94% accurate, and the branches would wake up the next morning and read their newspapers and the headlines would say OUR WORLD HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE. You’d give your buddy a high-five and go celebrate at the bar, and then you’d think, “I wonder if we can make branch predictors even more accurate,” and the next day you’d start XOR’ing the branch’s PC address with a shift register containing the branch’s recent branching history, because in those days, you could XOR anything with anything and get something useful, and you test the new branch predictor, and now you’re up to 96% accuracy, and the branches call you on the phone and say OK, WE GET IT, YOU DO NOT LIKE BRANCHES, but the phone call goes to your voicemail because you’re too busy driving the speed boats and wearing the monocles that you purchased after your promotion at work. You go to work hung-over, and you realize that, during a drunken conference call, you told your boss that your processor has 32 registers when it only has 8, but then you realize THAT YOU CAN TOTALLY LIE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL REGISTERS, and you invent a crazy hardware mapping scheme from virtual registers to physical ones, and at this point, you start seducing the spouses of the compiler team, because it’s pretty clear that compilers are a thing of the past, and the next generation of processors will run English-level pseudocode directly.

Die shot of a Ryzen 5 2600 core complex (2019)

Nowadays to meet performance parity you can't just be pin-compatible and run at the right frequency, you have to really do a ton of internal logical optimization that is extremely opaque to the reverse engineer. As mentioned, Via is making the Zhaoxin stuff, they are licensed, they have access to all the documentation needed to make an x86_64 processor, and their performance is still barely half of what Intel and AMD can do.

Companies still frequently clone each others simpler chips, charge controllers, sensor filters, etc. but the big stuff is just too complicated.

On May 14, Washington slapped new tariffs on China in what looks at first glance like the latest round of a familiar trade spat. The White House imposed duties of 25 to 50 percent on a range of industrial, medical, and clean tech goods—including semiconductors, solar cells, batteries, steel, aluminum, graphite, magnets, syringes, and ship-to-shore cranes. Strikingly, the latest measures also include a whopping 100 percent tariff on electric vehicles, effectively shutting the U.S. market to Chinese-made EVs.

Seen from Washington, these measures also look like a political move as U.S. President Joe Biden courts blue-collar voters in industrial swing states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania ahead of the November presidential election. It’s unlikely, however, that Beijing shares this benign interpretation. Seen from China, the tariffs look like a serious escalation of the U.S.-China contest and are probably raising alarm bells. Here’s why.

1. Washington is playing the long game. Stories of how China has become the world leader in EV manufacturing and is flooding the world with cheap vehicles have flourished over recent months. At the global level, there certainly is something to this analysis. Chinese exports of EVs jumped by a whopping 80 percent last year, propelling China to the top of the global ranking of car exporters. Yet this does not apply to the United States, where China supplied just 2 percent of EVs sold last year. (U.S. consumers appear to have a distinct preference for South Korean, Japanese, and European EV imports.) In other words, a 100 percent tariff on a few thousand cars will not hit Chinese firms hard.

A closer look at the list of targeted sectors suggests that batteries, not cars, will be the real pain point for China. The U.S. market is important for Chinese battery firms, which supply around 70 percent of the lithium-ion batteries used in the United States. For China’s battery sector, this means that the impact of the latest U.S. tariffs will likely be huge: The usual rule of thumb is that a 1 percentage point increase in tariffs entails a 2 percent drop in trade. With tariffs rising from 7.5 percent to 25 percent, the rule suggests that Chinese battery firms’ U.S. sales could drop by around one-third—or by $5 billion when one includes the entire battery supply chain. With Chinese battery-makers already seeing their profits plummet amid softening global demand, this is certainly bad news for Beijing.

Crucially, batteries are also an area where the U.S. government is investing huge amounts of public funds, in particular through the Inflation Reduction Act, which seeks to boost U.S. domestic production of clean tech goods. Seen in this light, the latest U.S. tariffs are preemptive measures to protect a nascent clean tech industry and make sure that there is domestic demand for future U.S. production. This suggests that the United States is playing the long game here, with little chance the tariffs will be lifted anytime soon. On the contrary—the U.S. clean tech market could well be closed to Chinese firms from here on out.

2. The White House is trying to force Europe to come on board and impose similar tariffs on China. Biden is probably seeking to score electoral brownie points with a 100 percent tariff on EVs, making former President Donald Trump’s proposal for 60 percent on U.S. imports from China look almost feeble. (Not to be outdone, Trump just announced that he would apply a 200 percent tariff on Chinese-branded cars made in Mexico.) Yet the reality is that Biden’s tariffs will not prove game-changing in the short term: Their implementation will be phased in over two years, and supply chain adjustments typically take time. In short, the measures are unlikely to fuel a U.S. industrial boom in time for the November elections.

What will happen before the election, though, is the conclusion in June or July of the European Union’s ongoing anti-subsidy investigation into China’s EV makers. Rumors abound of a possible tariff of 20 to 30 percent on Chinese EVs. Such a prospect is probably unnerving for Beijing; the EU is the biggest export market for China’s EVs, absorbing around 40 percent of Chinese shipments. The United States hopes that its 100 percent tariff on EVs will compel the EU to not only follow Washington’s example in imposing a tariff on Chinese EVs but perhaps also consider a higher one. This bold strategy could well work. Europe is unlikely to enjoy having its arm twisted by Washington, but the bloc will also worry that Chinese EV makers could double down on their push to dominate the EU market now that they have lost access to the U.S. one.

Chinese EVs look set to be a key topic when G-7 leaders meet for their annual summit in June. The United States will probably try to cajole Germany, which has long been dovish vis à vis China, into supporting sharply higher tariffs. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has pointed to the fact that European auto manufacturers “sell a great many vehicles that are produced in Europe to China”—hinting at German fears that China could retaliate against EVs and internal combustion engine cars imported from the EU.

3. The tariffs are a serious escalation from Washington’s previous de-risking strategy. In recent years, U.S. de-risking has focused on reducing the United States’ reliance on China for crucial goods and curbing Beijing’s access to dual-use technology in a bid to avoid fueling the country’s military advances. To implement this strategy, Washington has so far relied on two main tools from its economic statecraft kit: financial sanctions (for instance, on firms linked to the People’s Liberation Army) and export controls (notably on semiconductors, which are dual-use goods found in most military equipment).

Washington is slowly realizing that these two tools are imperfect. China’s massive sanctions-proofing efforts mean that sanctions do not always deal a blow to Chinese firms, which may no longer be using the U.S. dollar (China now settles around half of its cross-border trade in renminbi) or Western financial channels such as SWIFT, the global payments system. Washington also understands that export controls on clean tech would not curb China’s ambitions in the field, as Chinese firms already have all the tech they need. This leaves only one option for U.S. economic statecraft: tariffs that leverage one of the country’s greatest economic assets—access to its market.

This is why the latest U.S. tariffs are likely raising red flags in Beijing. The United States is now severing access to its market in clean tech and other areas that China sees as crucial for its plans to become the world’s future economic superpower. If the EU plays ball, this approach would expose a central flaw in Beijing’s industrial strategy: What if the world’s two biggest markets—the United States and the EU—become no-go areas for Chinese firms dependent on exporting their vast production, leaving them with piles of unused goods? Few other markets are available for Chinese clean tech exports—outside Europe, North America, and East Asia, most countries lack the infrastructure for large-scale EV adoption, for example. This prospect may well keep Beijing’s planners up at night, with no easy solution in sight.

The question now is whether and how Beijing will react. Serious retaliation is unlikely, since the United States exports far less to China than vice versa. Given its current economic woes, China also has little interest in further weakening its economy—for example, by imposing export bans on critical raw materials, rare earths, or other crucial goods for Western economies.

As the latest skirmish in the battle for economic dominance between Washington and Beijing, the new U.S. tariffs raise a number of bigger questions: Will Washington succeed in its efforts to create a domestic ecosystem for clean tech? Will the United States and Europe manage to cooperate—or go their own ways in their economic relations with China? Will the United States continue to curb Chinese access to the U.S. market for the purposes of de-risking—and if so, in which sectors? There is probably only one certainty in the U.S.-China economic war: The conflict will continue well after the November elections, whatever their outcome.

Oh boy, here's a doozy.

Things have shifted far enough that Trump/Vance is actually more left than the alleged left

This is easily verified as untrue, but let's see what ridiculous points you try to use to back it.

what with their aims of ending war in Ukraine (thus derailing the current gravy train the military-industrial complex is riding)

Their solution to "end the war in Ukraine" is to withdraw aid and allow Russia to invade. It's literally pro-Genocide. So we're already starting out with the dumbest take possible. Not looking good for you.

introducing tariffs against China and, in time other popular outsourcing havens to bring manufacturing home (because of both security issues and the fact that an economy comprised of unskilled labour service jobs is going to generate anything but poverty in an economic race to the bottom as your domestic consumption dies) *and* he pinned the blame correctly on the bankers and international corporations for a lot of fuckery that is afoot, rather than the usual Republican rhetoric about pesky neo-marxists.

Tariffs are just going to make things more expensive for the working class and no one else. That manufacturing isn't coming home. It'll just move to countries other than China where it's still more profitable for major corporations and the supply chain.

Look, I can break this down further, but it's clear we're dealing with someone who has fallen down right wing talking points so badly that any discussion is useless. They think the GOP, the party where folks want to remove bodily autonomy and are mad about women voting, is somehow "left."

Whether you agree with me or not, if you believe a word this person says, I don't know how to talk to you.

I've said this before, but no one moves left in the general election. When a block of voters says they're not going to vote for their candidate, Democrats tend to believe them. So they decide to go court the people who they think will vote for them. That's why you've seen the Harris campaign trying to court moderate Republicans who might be iffy on voting for Trump a third time.

Leftists don't win by allowing extreme right wing candidates to win the White House. Instead you keep pressuring Democrats during their term and it works. Like Biden is continuing to work on forgiving student debt even though he doesn't have an election ahead of him. Because they know that what he does reflects on the future of the party. To really move the party left you need to focus on local and state based races -- get involved with your school board, city council, and state level governments. Get leftist candidates to run, and get them into office. That's how you drag a party over politically, and how you reform it. It's also how you move the national political discussion towards your cause.

We know it works because that's exactly what the Republicans have been doing for 50 years.

Voting doesn't end this game, it's the start of it.

And don't listen to weirdos who try to tell you Donald "Finish the Job" Trump and JD "Incel Couchfucker" Vance are somehow leftist.

This is the thing with the "I won't vote for Harris" supposed leftists.

None of them will tell you how allowing Trump to be elected helps.

Because they don't have an answer.

Because they don't really care about anything other than how they personally feel.

Actual leftism involves making pragmatic moves. The public will for revolution doesn't exist, and we live in a two party system. If you want to fight that system, great. There are things like ranked choice voting and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact we need to be fighting for. But those are fights that have to happen year round, at the state level, and not just in an election year.

And in the meanwhile, you vote defensively and strategically, in an attempt to save as many people as possible.

Saying you aren't voting for Harris isn't taking a stand against genocide. It's putting your head in the sand and admitting you care more about your own comfort than making a difference in the world.

Why aren't you getting involved in your local politics? Why aren't you running leftist candidates at a local level, so you can move them up in the system and eventually move the political discussion left. You want to know why politics have moved right? It's because the right wing has been doing that for decades.

Your refusal to participate won't save a single life.

It only means you're abandoning everyone else.

3D Scanner System Solution Based on FET3576-C Embedded Board

3D scanning, an integrated technology of optics, mechanics, electronics, and computing, captures 3D coordinates and color information of object surfaces through non-contact measurement, generating high-precision 3D models. In game development, 3D scanners have significantly enhanced the realism and detail richness of game scenes, characters, and objects.

The production team of the popular game "Black Myth: Wukong" spent a year using 3D scanning to create precise 3D models of real Buddhist statues, temples, and rocks across China. These models not only provide rich materials and inspiration for game designers but also ensure the authenticity and detail richness of game scenes. By capturing real-world 3D data, every detail in the game accurately reproduces historical features, enhancing the game's cultural depth and artistic value.

Not only in the gaming field, but 3D scanning systems, with their high precision, non-contact measurement, and digitization characteristics, can also contribute to the preservation and restoration of cultural relics. The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in 2019 attracted global attention. Prior to this, Notre-Dame Cathedral had already undergone comprehensive data recording using 3D scanning technology. This allows experts to use this data to carry out precise repair work after the fire. In addition, it can also be widely used in surveying and mapping engineering, industrial manufacturing, architectural design, education and scientific research and many other industries.

The 3D scanner, as the core component, is responsible for data acquisition and conversion. It consists of a probe, lens, and camera. The probe collects surface patterns without contact, the lens adjusts the probe position and viewing angle, and the camera converts captured images into digital signals for further processing like denoising, stitching, and optimization.

Hardware implementation faces several challenges:

Complex data processing: Limited by onsite conditions during data collection, processing can be complex, requiring extended post-processing like noise removal and mesh reconstruction, demanding high-performance hardware.

Compatibility issues: Incompatible hardware and software designs for point cloud data processing across different manufacturers hinder resource sharing and conversion, increasing learning and technical difficulties for users.

Environmental sensitivity: Lasers and optical systems are sensitive to temperature changes, requiring frequent calibration and affecting efficiency. External factors like temperature, humidity, and vibration can also impact measurement accuracy, necessitating strict environmental control.

High cost: The hardware cost of 3D scanners is often high, potentially leading to increased product prices and affecting market competitiveness.

Forlinx Embedded recommends using the FET3576-C embedded board as the main controller for 3D scanners. Based on the RK3576 processor, the FET3576-C is a high-performance, low-power, feature-rich, cost-effective solution tailored for AIoT and industrial markets.

Game Changers: How New Technologies Are Transforming PCB Manufacturing

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the unsung heroes behind every electronic device you use. From your smartphone to your gaming console, none of it would work without these intricate little boards that bring everything together. But as our gadgets get smarter and more advanced, the way PCB boards are made also has to evolve. New technologies are shaking up the world of PCB manufacturing, and these innovations are helping printed circuit board manufacturers stay ahead of the curve.

Let’s look into how these tech advancements are turning the game upside down!

AI and Machine Learning in PCB Manufacturing

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) aren’t just for science fiction movies anymore—they’re becoming crucial in making PCBs more efficient. By using AI, PCB manufacturers can quickly detect defects or potential issues in a board's design before they become costly mistakes.

Machine learning algorithms can analyze tons of data from past manufacturing processes. This helps manufacturers predict the most efficient way to produce boards and avoid problems down the line. This not only speeds up production but also improves the quality of the final product. So, if you’re dealing with a PCB board manufacturer in China, for example, you can be sure they are utilizing the latest AI technologies to produce the most reliable products.

The Role of 3D Printing

You’ve probably heard of 3D printing for creating toys or even medical devices, but it’s also making a big splash in the PCB world. With 3D printing, manufacturers can create complex PCB prototypes quickly and without the need for traditional tooling. This is a huge advantage, especially when companies need to test new designs quickly.

Imagine being able to print a whole circuit board layer by layer in just a few hours instead of waiting days or even weeks. That’s exactly what 3D printing offers. Plus, 3D printing allows for more complex designs that wouldn’t be possible with traditional methods. This gives designers the freedom to innovate without being held back by manufacturing limitations.

Advanced Materials for PCBs

When you think of PCBs, you probably imagine green boards with lots of little lines and tiny components. But there’s more to the story. New materials are being used to make these boards faster, more durable, and even more flexible.

For instance, flexible PCBs are made from materials that allow them to bend and fold. This is perfect for wearables like smartwatches or fitness trackers, where space is tight and the board needs to flex. High-frequency PCBs, made from advanced materials like ceramic-filled polymers, are also becoming more common. These materials allow boards to work efficiently at much higher speeds, which is essential for 5G technology and beyond.

Automation and Smart Manufacturing

It’s no secret that automation has taken over many industries, and PCB manufacturing is no exception. Robots, automated assembly lines, and smart manufacturing processes are becoming the norm. Printed circuit board manufacturers are investing in automation to reduce human error, lower costs, and increase production speeds.

In a PCB board manufacturer China facility, you might find robots assembling tiny components with incredible precision. These machines can work around the clock without breaks, producing a massive number of PCBs in less time. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), these smart manufacturing systems can even communicate with each other, sharing data to make the entire process more efficient.

Laser Technology for Precision

When it comes to manufacturing PCBs, precision is everything. Even a tiny mistake can lead to a faulty board, which could cause an entire electronic device to fail. That’s why laser technology is becoming such an important tool for PCB manufacturers.

Lasers are being used to cut and etch PCBs with incredible accuracy. This allows manufacturers to create boards with more complex designs and tighter tolerances. Laser drilling, for example, makes it easier to create microvias (tiny holes that connect different layers of the PCB) with extreme precision. This is especially important for high-density boards where every millimeter counts.

Sustainability and Green Tech

Sustainability is a growing concern in every industry, and PCB manufacturing is no different. Thankfully, new technologies are helping manufacturers reduce waste and energy use. For example, some companies are using environmentally friendly materials that are easier to recycle.

Additionally, advancements in manufacturing techniques mean that less material is wasted during production. This is especially important as the demand for electronics continues to rise. By making the process greener, PCB manufacturers can help reduce their environmental footprint while still meeting the needs of modern tech.

The Last NOTE!

New technologies are revolutionizing the way PCBs are made. From AI and machine learning to advanced materials and 3D printing, these innovations are allowing printed circuit board manufacturers to create faster, more efficient, and more reliable products than ever before.

Whether you're looking at a PCB board manufacturer in China or anywhere else in the world, these advancements mean better devices for everyone. And with the pace of technology continuing to accelerate, who knows what the future holds for PCB manufacturing? One thing’s for sure—it’s an exciting time to be in the world of electronics!

Types of Printed Circuit Boards

PCB board fabrication are integral parts of all electronic devices, ranging from simple digital wrist watches and handheld games, to highly complicated satellite systems. PCB are manufactured in several ways to meet the unique requirements of varied industries. They can be fabricated in single sided, double sided, and multi-layered configurations as per the demands.

The following listed are the three basic types of PCB used for several industrial, commercial, and domestic applications.

Single-Sided – This is the simplest and the most commonly used type of PCB. As the name suggests, these PCB are designed with single substrate. The design of these PCB is such that all copper traces are etched on one side, and the electrical components on the other side of the board. Compared to other types, these PCB are easier to design and fabricate. They are commonly used in calculators, printers, and sensor products, among others.

Double-Sided – These types of PCB are constructed by mounting electronic components and copper traces on both sides of the substrate. Demands for double sided PCB are on the rise with increasing complexity and density of products. Common applications include control relays, converters, power supplies, power monitoring, and traffic systems.

Multi-Layered – These types of PCB are characterized by several substrate layers. Each layer is separated from the other by an insulating material. Depending on the complexity of the application, these PCB can be designed with 4, 6, 8, or 10 layers. The layers can even be increased up to 42. Multi-layer PCB are chosen for extremely complicated electronic circuits like central fire alarm systems, fiber optic receptors, nuclear detection systems, and space probe equipment.Having a comprehensive understanding of the basic types of PCB will help you choose the right board for your applications.

A solid question should ask yourself before deciding who to vote for, is "what has this candidate done that no one seems to know about?"

For Biden, it's a lot of real leftist shit, like, stuff we have been asking for, for years, and stuff we didn't even think to ask for but damn it's smart. Does he do everything we've ever thought of, are his positions perfect? No, and we all know no one will, so don't be a child about it.

Everything we didn't know Trump did while he was in office was extremely bad. Everything we didn't know Biden's done, has been pretty good, actually, go look.

Even if you're upset about what Biden hasn't done about Palestine, I ask you to chill for a minute. If you look at Biden's M.O., his form of diplomacy is always behind closed doors. Behind them so far that you will not hear a whisper of what's happening. Did you hear a goddamn thing when Biden negotiated for the railway workers? You didn't, until he got them what they deserved. You didn't even know he was on that shit.

After a lifetime of public service, please look in detail at what he is accomplishing now as President. Actually go look, in great detail. Go pull apart every policy. What you will find is some of the greatest Leftist ambition that has ever been in national office. He seems very, very boring, and THAT IS WHY HE'S ABLE TO DO IT. If people really caught on, there would be a fucking uproar from a lot of people.

But my perception of Biden is that he is playing the Hamilton song "History Has Its Eyes On You," on repeat, because a few hundred years from now, his quality as a president is going to be undeniable. He's a point guard still putting up numbers long past the question of who will win.

Where has he made progress?

Student loans, child poverty, climate investment, gun violence, prescription drug prices, minimum corporate tax, economic sanctions on Russia (likely preventing WW3), going after rich people who cheat on their taxes, returned computer chip manufacturing to US soil (after a long dominance by China), halted federal executions, massive infrastructure package (that's been needed for decades), judicial reform (placing more judges than Trump or Obama), first president to walk a picket line (and helped unions negotiate), inflation reduction (never actually been successfully managed before by a president on a short time frame), increased overtime guarantees, over the counter birth control, renewable energy, updated anti-redlining framework, crack down on overdraft fees, dealing with the Colorado River water crisis, supporting small/mid-size farmers, downgrading marijuana on the federal list, new restrictions on data privacy, the Cancer Moonshot 2.0 (funded the goal of halving cancer deaths over the next 25 years), greater labor powers, expanding broadband access, new board investigating cyber attacks, strengthening protection for consumers with airlines, directing federal money to be prioritized for projects in low income and hsitorically disadvantaged communities.

What's still on his to-do list that I think we'd see work on next term: immigration reform, abortion access, more things he's keeping close to his vest.

He's not playing this game for you or me, he's out to win over historians a hundred years from now, who will fangirl over him and babygirlify him like you would not believe.

If you know what you're looking for, and you look at some of what he's done with the perspective of a history professor 100 years in the future, you can see the outlines of where he's making the case that he'll be the most transformative US President of all time.

He is looking at Washington, he is looking at FDR, he is looking at JFK, and he is measuring himself against them in a way that shows real ambition.

https://www.tumblr.com/qqueenofhades/743255237060689920/the-thing-that-confuses-me-about-the-dont-vote

The “don’t vote” left’s point is basically that, if Biden gets a second term, it’ll basically signal that “They’ll vote for us as long as we’re not Republicans, why don’t we do some REAL fucked up shit, if we can get away with it?” It takes the power out of the people’s hands and places it firmly in the party’s.

I can’t completely disagree with that, my caveat is that there’s no real alternative system or party in place, because top-down change is ineffective; a third party president has to contend with a two party congress.

Except no. This whole "Biden just wants to do as much fucked up shit as possible while not being a Republican, and if you give him a second term he'll do more fucked up shit deliberately to spite you" mindset is only possible as an interpretation if you a) deliberately and comprehensively ignore everything he has done to date, and b) you approach the situation with the maximum bad faith possible. Not to mention, the ultimate outcome of this Big Important Teaching Biden A Lesson is that Trump gets back into power and makes everything orders of magnitude worse, because he does in fact want to deliberately do evil shit to everyone and says so at every opportunity. There is not some magical happy alternative that springs into existence by not voting. If you choose this as a year to Teach Biden A Lesson, you are enabling Trump. Trump will be much, much worse. If you don't care about that, I still do not care what your Great Ideology is. You are not helping anyone and you are directly and irreversibly hurting everyone.

I made a post a few days ago wherein I mentioned that I want to assess Biden fairly, taking into account both strengths and weaknesses, but the rampant bad-faith, lying, misreading, misrepresentation, and open sabotage of him (especially by the online left; the GOP sometimes only wishes they were as good at turning Biden's voter pool against him) makes it really difficult to do that. My frustration with those people makes me just want to go "BIDEN IS GREAT THE END." I know he is a flawed old man (though by literally every account of a career spent in public service, he really does care about making the world a better place and any remotely good faith reading of his accomplishments thus far can see that). It is also very likely that he goes MORE left in a second term because he won't have to face the electorate again, he has always gone more left when pushed before, and he's not actually the scheming genocidal mastermind that leftist social media paints him as. Shocking, I know.

I know there are things in the world we don't like and don't want and want to stop, and therefore we blame our own president for not making it stop. But I have zero, no, none, absolutely none whatsoever sympathy for this pseudo-populist "WE NEED TO TEACH BIDEN A LESSON BY ELECTING TRUMP AGAIN, I AM VERY MORAL MUCH ACTIVIST" mindset. There's this funny thing about America wherein it is still (for now) a democracy. If Biden wins a second term, he can't run again. I would take literally anything these people said more seriously if they focused on developing their dream progressive successor for 2028 (and also figured out how to get that person elected and in a place to make real change) rather than cynically sabotaging Biden in the most consequential election year, again, of our lifetimes. If you don't like him now, find a way to make his successor a better option. Throwing a toddler tantrum and handing the country back to a senile, deranged, fascist, revenge-riddled, theocratic Trump HELPS. NOBODY. I still don't know how many times I'm going to have to say that, but yeah.
