Can I work from the pub?

You type of people sure do like to write a lot of words that don't mean much...

So is uncertainty!

what does this even mean.

Competitive with what?

Engineers tend to need more than the equivalent of a shiny powerpoint to make them want to do something...

Doesn't it find stuff for you?

Shouldn't it be able to help you find "ELECTRONICS EXPERTS"?

[retrolefty]

Another Uber wanna-be, where the clients are not the people looking for real work.

Exactly.  Just use the "operator service" and they should be able to put you in touch with the right bodies to pimp.
While you are at it you might like to get some mathematicians/computer scientists to help out with the recursion you might encounter.

I didn't see anything in the video that would need "ELECTRONICS EXPERTS" I think it's more of feeding the advert to the forum user base more than actually a job offer.

Edit: from their webpage about Expert -- Electronics / EXPERT NETWORK ON OPERATOR

Are you an electronics expert? If so, which categories are you most knowledgable about? (check all that apply; we'll send a screener for each)

Mobile phones and accessories

Computers and accessories

Speakers and headphones

TVs / other AV (e.g., DVD players)

Cameras

Gaming

The first line says it all:

Operator helps people get great personalized product recommendations from a network of experts.

Translation: You'll be working from home as an "expert" giving "personalized product recommendations" to users of the Operator. Congratulations! You are the Operator.

Perhaps the OP thinks an 'electronics expert'  is someone who knows a lot about electronic devices for consumers. He is certainly not looking for design engineers.

This sounds like they want to make a forum just without the fun fanboy wars.

[KD0CAC John]

This is how an HR department looks for engineers .
Or spams a forum and gets nowhere .

[c4757p]

Considering he clearly wanted to just drop a link and run, and not engage, I think this should be considered spam.

[bitseeker]

It is spam, but it provided more value to the forum in the form of entertainment, than the spammer likely get in return in the form of forum members jumping to become a cog in their Mechanical Turk.

this thread is now about angle grinders.

i am very happy with my milwakee 18v brushless angle grinder. it is quite a beast.

[Brumby]

Ever since somebody used my flush cutting side cutters for chomping up some steel wire, I've used my angle grinder for taking care of all the through hole component leads.  It's really fast, but if you dance across the board a bit too much, you could take out a few traces.  But that's OK - you just use the excess leads to bridge the gaps.

I have been looking at one of them, I have a porter cable 18volt works well but not such good battery life.
We needed a good angle grinder thread.
thanks

Thats what EEVBLOG is for.

Aussie ingenuity at its best..... the utility material of choice:

In the country, it's fencing wire.
In the suburbs it's wire coat hangers.
In the office, it's paperclips.

A thousand and one repairs made easy

Well while we're on with angle grinders, does anyone have a preference for one that you can use to reprogram PROMs with...

Recruiting sock puppets?

Recruiting sock puppets?

ah, that explains it.  was wondering what that smell was.

[Wilksey]

Seems legit, where do I apply...

[WireEd]

I've tried battery powered grinders. I prefer AC powered for the higher torque, keep it right next to my Lincoln stick welder. I did weld one to a car battery once though. Do they make battery powered stick welders?

This is my first and only post so far here. Trying not to sound like too much of a hack. Is it working?

Sulphur and vinegar. Plenty of it!

That said, it would have been fun to have some "submarines" applying for the job in order to learn which kind of products they would be expected to expertly endorse.

Maybe next time
