What's the minimum viable product, to make a SMPS get a thanks here?

Faringdon whines about analogue electronics being devalued, yet he does exactly that to the thanks mechanism.

I suppose we should be grateful to him for demonstrating the dangers of upvoting and downvoting. Fortunately Dave is adamently against downvoting.

If downvoting, which I'm also against.  Had a top forum totals position, especially if it had the 'dislike thread' option/counts.  I can't imagine, who would win (well lose actually), such a challenge.  Can't think?

Arguably, even in the day (a long time ago), must of our electronics things, was done in America, anyway.  E.g. IC production, soon (mostly) moved (and stayed) in America, as we use to have some chip making plants.

Things like SMPS's, are obvious candidates, for being produced in the cheapest available/viable country in the world, to do it, at a reasonable enough quality standard.

Even hundreds of years ago, various things came from various places around the world.  E.g. China (as in dishes), Food from various countries.  Persian rugs (from Persia, named as such, at that time).

What we should do, is rename Treez's home city, to be called SMPS.  Hence its University will be called SMPS.  If it only teaches SMPS.  Then all factories and people in that town/city can just make SMPS.

They can then sell them round the world, to anyone, at not much more than ten times what it would cost to buy them from an unmentionable country.

We can then create a new forum for that city, SMPS, and all happily sing the new town/city anthem, SMPS's are great.

Here is the anthem.  N.B. I carefully spent many days creating and fine tuning it, and didn't use ChatGPT at all.


--- Quote ---(Verse 1)
In the realm of technology, where power reigns supreme,
There's a mighty force that hums in the unseen.
Switch mode power supplies, the heart of our machines,
Efficiency and reliability, the secrets they convene.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing the anthem of the SMPS,
A melody of innovation, powering success.
Treez shall lead the way, harmonizing the beat,
With circuits intertwined, our destiny complete.

(Verse 2)
With every pulse and cycle, they transform the energy,
From AC to DC, a symphony of synergy.
Voltage regulation, a conductor's delicate touch,
Ensuring stability, they deliver power as such.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing the anthem of the SMPS,
A melody of innovation, powering success.
Treez shall lead the way, harmonizing the beat,
With circuits intertwined, our destiny complete.

(Bridge)
From desktops to automobiles, their reach expands afar,
Efficiently they march, as the brightest guiding star.
Effortlessly they adapt, to currents and loads,
Withstanding the test of time, they never corrode.

(Verse 3)
Transformers and inductors, dancing in the core,
Transistors and diodes, weaving currents evermore.
Through the winding paths of PCBs they traverse,
Uniting voltages and currents, they deliver with finesse.

(Chorus)
Oh, let us sing the anthem of the SMPS,
A melody of innovation, powering success.
Treez shall lead the way, harmonizing the beat,
With circuits intertwined, our destiny complete.

(Outro)
So let us raise our voices, in praise of the SMPS,
As Treez sings this anthem, embracing what it means.
Efficiency and reliability, the pillars that endure,
In the world of power, Switch mode supplies ensure.

While I'm all for making more people realize how we're killing our own industry - as I said earlier - and, contrary to some other people, I don't think talking about it is completely useless (if you never talk about it, it just becomes normal for everyone), I'm not sure I understand the particular point you're making here.

You don't seem to be exactly complaining about the western industry getting killed, but you're instead apparently willing to prevent company owners from killing their own companies. Which is not quite the same thing, and which is kind of odd. One question that comes up is, why would you actually care? Maybe you care because you happen to consistently find yourself working in/for such companies and paying the price yourself?

Maybe focusing on creating your own company, doing things the "right" way (as you see it) would be more productive? If a company is not your company, you should not waste time trying to save it. It's not yours, there's nothing you can (usually) do about it, and whatever efforts you'll put into this, that's going to be wasted efforts and you are likely to get laid off as a result, rather than get promoted. Company owners don't like to hear that they've been doing things wrong for years, especially from an employee or a contractor, because that's just not their job.

I don't think any of that can be solved by trying to educate (or even worse, force) existing companies. Probably the only hope is to create companies that work in a different way (and that's not going to be easy.) Just a thought.
Gyro:
It's entertaining the way these 'rants' on the industry decline, 'don't trust the temporary guy, he'll steal the schematics', they won't trust me' etc align with the starts and ends of contracts in his employment history. One might almost think that they were linked!
