+Questionable 3am idea hit me and I figured I'd run it by you fine gentlemen. I own a savage mk ii 22lr rifle. The rifle is great, the magazine (design and manufacture) is trash. No aftermarket mags exist and people go so far as to epoxy weld and sand the mags to make them sit well and feed. So I wanted to know, assuming one has CAD knowledge and a small CNC machine, how hard would it be to design and build a non-shit magazine? 
+
+By necessity it's single stack and light guage metal so a simple stamping die should be a feasible project to design and build right? Then it's just a matter of actual welding them unlike the originals which are just pressed into shape.

+
+But yes, they picked the cheapest manufacturing method which means it is easy for thirdworld stampers to make and easy to reverse engineer. That is designed to a cost so improvement is likely very easy.
+
+I just recommend that you are careful with welds. It will easily distort the sheet steel. Consider a spot welding process instead of a full bead. You can even make a glueable assembly with a few spots for strategic welds. Most glues can survive a few seconds next to a small weld spot.

If you’ve done research into the required tool chain and such and have decided you can handle it, then go for it. Soldering SMD is pretty easy with a non-shit tip, at least for SOICs. TSSOPs and QFPs are somewhat worse, QFNs and the like are getting into hot-air or reflow plate tech.

+By the way, I noticed something: 
+I found an old as fuck PIC16F428A at uni. Looked it up on Microchip's website and they recommend using the PIC16F18444 for new designs.
+16F18444 is objectively superior to the 16F428, has far more peripherals and is half the price on retailers. However, there are barely any projects/tutorials using them. And almost every tutorial for it is ancient (back when CCS/MikroC were still relevant, almost no XC8 resources).
+The same happens for other classic PICs like 10F202, 12F629, 16F84, 18F4550, 16F877 that have superior models released later that everyone seems to ignore. And because of that, stores in my country only seem to carry the old models while the new ones are unobtainium.
+I understand that this is because of the Arduino phenomenon, which made everyone drop PICs as soon as they could stop having to deal with their crap. 
+But then, why the fuck didn't Microchip start making cheap USB programmable boards immediately after noticing how practical Arduinos were, to recoup their losses?
+Those Curiosity Nano boards look pretty cool and do have more recent PIC/AVR offerings, but they're expensive as fuck so I've never seen any mention of them in the wild. Now it seems that the only guys on PIC are due to momentum, weirdos/contrarians, or the ones who use them professionally.
+For the amount of peripherals, you'd think it's a decent deal for more specific uses (except for all of the Microshit garbage you'll have to deal with).

+Aviation regulations require that radio towers have aircraft warning lights along their length, so the tower will be visible to aircraft at night.[2] The high voltage on the tower poses a problem with powering the lights. The power cable that runs down the tower and connects to the utility line is at the high voltage of the mast. Without protective equipment the current from the mast would flow down the cable to the power line ground, short-circuiting the mast. To prevent this, a protective isolator device is installed in the lighting power cable at the base of the mast which blocks the radio frequency power while allowing the 50/60 hertz AC mains power for the lights through.

+"[...]the term "malt liquor" lacks a stable definition"
+
+"A typical legal definition is Colorado's Rev. Stat. ss. 12-47-103(19), which provides that:
+
+ "Malt Liquors" includes beer and shall be construed to mean any beverage obtained by the alcoholic fermentation of any infusion or decoction of barley, malt, hops or any other similar products, or any combination thereof, in water containing more than three and one fifth percent of alcohol by weight."
+
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malt_liquor
+
+So, no it's not really. "Malt Liquor" is some type of non-word that some government clerk without a clue what beer is pulled out of his ass to shove some drinks into a different category of taxation.
+There are a lot of beer styles which work with corn sugar and candi sugar to boost the ABV, e.g. the Belgian Quadruple which is a very prestigious style.

+
+The architecture book I actually happen to have on-hand, it's called "ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING & DESIGN", pic related.
+I recommend older textbooks in general for learning the basics of technical design.
+
+To get a good "mind" for seeing how things go together, I recommend Keith Appleton's YouTube channel, he restores antique steam engines, excellent explanations for each part, and even some quality commentary on how good / bad parts are, it gives you a good intuitive understanding of good and bad engineering practices.

 Whether you actually need a high-speed gate driver is a function of your switching losses, and how significant they are. Calculating switching losses isn’t that easy, but what you can do is calculate the time it will be transitioning (some form of gate charge put into the I=C*dV/dt equation) and see what that’s like compared to the cycle time.

Repair is going to be more intellectually stimulating than assembly, while design/prototyping is going to be better than both. If you only have assembly jobs available, aim for a position that has the potential for upwards mobility, smaller companies without dedicated HR teams are probably more likely to let any old unqualified yobbo climb up the ladder compared to a big company. Larger companies are also more likely to have automated everything besides inserting THT components and packaging odd things, I ended up in a job doing nothing but tying cables in knots and putting them in plastic bags for hours.

+>>2600969
+If you PWM in the low or mid kHz then that's easy. There are some reasons to avoid PWM, mainly just aliasing with fast shutter speeds on cameras and optical/IR receivers, the other option being basically a current-mode buck converter.
+
+Are you designing an LED display from scratch? With so many LEDs it's infeasible to add an LC filter to each, so constant-current switching is probably out of the question. Varying current linearly using BJTs (or JFETs lmao) is an option, but you'll effectively need a DAC for each one, with as many bits as needed for your full colour depth (e.g. 8). A monolithic resistor ladder (apparently these exist) as a current-mode DAC is probably the cheapest way to do this, otherwise you could have fewer DACs multiplexed via sample+hold circuits, or just analog switches and only turn on certain pixels at once. It may be possible to multiplex analog methods with rows and columns, but I'm not sure how (please tell me if it's possible with 0-100VAC).
+
+But I think PWM is the way to go. Dedicated display driver chips can likely do this reasonably easily, but you have to know what you're looking for. You can kinda multiplex a few hundred LEDs just with 74HC595-like shift registers driving rows and columns (probably also higher current driving chips like ULN2003s) and a microcontroller, as is done in LED cubes. I'd do the math on how many sub-pixels you want to see the required bit rate, and see what would be required to piss that out ~16 I/O pins at once. Pretty sure a ~100MHz MCU can handle that kinda stuff.
+
+For example, if you want to drive a 360x480 display at 60fps with RGB pixels, that's 518,400 sub-pixels. For 8 bits of colour depth, you need to give 2^8=256 clock cycles per frame, which is 15360 clock cycles per second per sub-pixel. Multiplying by the two and we get 8GHz. That's not really feasible without an FPGA or ASIC. If we scale things down to 150x100 and 4 bits of colour depth, then it's only 43MHz, which is doable with DMA.

+For an actual MOSFET I type in NMOS or N-ch or something like that. Assuming you’re implying no driver at all, you have the problem that you’re feeding it your I/O voltage instead of 12V or whatever (FETs turn on better at higher voltages). Also the gate drive current will be lower, and so your turn-on time will be longer, meaning more switching losses. If you’re switching quickly the extra losses could definitely kill your FET.

+Only in tiny amounts for most of that time. Peak asbestos in my city was 60-80. In my building it was in the flooring, popcorn ceiling, and mud. But the mud is only about 2% asbestos, just above the legal cutoff (<1%) for "asbestos containing material". The flooring and popcorn on the otherhand were pretty much solid asbestos (>90%). And the modern stuff around the building was also tested, came in at much less than 1% asbestos for everything. So yeah legally they can still use it in tiny insignificant amounts, and such usage has been common through the years, but in practice it's the concentrated stuff that matters. And of course everything is different depending on location. For example in India they apparently still use tons of asbestos in housing to this day
