    Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it’s a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

      You’re not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. “Nerdy” is a really, really, really wide category.

        You can be a nerd about anything. A language nerd who speaks 20 languages and studies ancient Akkadian for fun won’t know what those are.

        I mean I am a nerd, but I haven’t much of a clue about trees and plant life.

        “Enchanting nerds and alchemy nerds are two different groups of wizardry. They don’t share their secrets outside the group!”

        -some guy named Clarke or something, I dunno.

      Could just be my client but the image is so pixelated and the resistors are quite small. So it took me a while to see as well.

      I found two posts in this entire thread asking what these actually are. That’s not a whole lot.
