Looking back at some of my old decaps compared to one I did recently. Amazing what a difference 15 years of practice makes lol.
The etch is so much more surgical now (and I can preserve copper bond wires which was a pipe dream before - although to be fair back then copper wires were not in common use)
The clipped pin on the recent sample is intentional, you'll find out why in a few weeks

8-pin SOIC on a SEM stub with a nice clean rectangular cutout etched in the middle exposing a die and copper bond wires
100ish pin rectangular TQFP with a giant crater etched in it partially exposing the die and some blue RTV rubber around the perimeter
Dirty silicon die surrounded by gold bond wires, some broken, on a rather mangled decapped package
28 pin DIP with a giant crater etched in the middle exposing the die at the bottom of a deep hole

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
The polar vortex has caused a cold snap here, and the Great Lakes are rapidly forming ice. Under this thick ice, algae are growing. These are normal diatom phytoplankton, which change to form thick chains, attaching to the underside of the ice where light is optimal. We clearly see this brown ice and water in the wake of our icebreakers. This occurs near the pole…

The cover of this week's edition of Science..
The details say it all - everything that Trump's shadow touches is broken.

Let's do what we can to preserve science (which is an international endeavour) and support our US colleagues until the US gets rid of Trump!

A journal cover, in blue-green tones, showing a view from above of a scientific bench with many tools, beakers, scales, notebooks. About half of the bench is cover by the shadow of a person, which has the characteristics of Trump. Under the shadow, many of the items are broken.

Several times now, I experienced discussions that reached a point where someone replied with "But ChatGPT says..." and screenshot. Usually it went downhill from there.
Is this the new Godwin's Law?

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who replied to compare notes. The gist seems to be Facebook is "better" than Instagram, and some of it might depend on where you are (you might get better search results if the event is in your own community b/c the algo likes to feed you local stuff?). Bluesky is finally showing the protests on its trending list. It's been a weird afternoon. I guess we'll see what corporate media does with the story.
