Digikey gone mad?
« on: April 26, 2015, 10:36:51 pm »
Anyone else noticed that everything on Digikey's site is obsolete and can be programmed?
For instance...

I didn't take it apart.
I turned it on.

The only stupid question is, well, most of them...

In your screenshot, the "Extended Price" column is also fubar.

Hard rebooted the laptop, flushed the caches, etc.etc.etc.
Tried with:
Chrome 42.0.2311.90 m
Firefox 36.0.4
Same results.

IE 11.0.9600.17728 seems to be the only one that's correct at the moment!

I noticed the same thing yesterday as well.

All the parts I searched for on digikey.com.au were showing as obsolete.
Searching for the exact same part number on digikey.com was OK.

These damned screws and their silly programming architectures. I invested so much time on my prototype and the bastards are already obsolete!

And now it's back to normal.

Glad I wasn't just seeing things.  Almost made me want to quit my day job...if I had a day job...if I really wanted to quit.

And I thank god for small miracles:  If I wanted a cross threading, outrageous pain when corroded fine thread I would have just ordered metric.   >:D

Funny, when I want a thread that is totally incompatible with any other, and which has so many varieties that almost match I use US sizes. If I want a screw that is available in almost every store here outside North America I use metric, as you get a well defined thread that will always mate, and which has good strength.
