Yes. Neeeeext!

The OP must have had a gigantic misunderstanding: this place is not a school, nor an university, nor a training of any kind. This is a place made of people (including Dave), making people things, including mistakes. Intelligenti pauca.

Sheesh.

All of this is publicly available as is my average post rate which is 3.6/day, these days most of these in my earlier days and these days they are post to deal with people like you. You are making 0.4 posts/day and they are of no value so go figure.

I've been looking at this blog for a few weeks now. Dave's video's are entertaining but as soon as it gets complicated he either fudges the details or gets in wrong. My opinion is that he is not a real engineer. He never answers questions regarding his formal training, though he often claims in interviews that he has formal training. In my opinion,  often dispenses fake information.

The "advice" dispensed by the members of this blog is useless. Rather read credible books on engineering or study t an accredited university than reading the junk "advice" on this blog.

Will you allow a "doctor" without the proper credentials to operate on your brain? If you would, then happily continuae reading this blog and watch Dave's videos.

I kind of take offense by that statement.

I have learn't a lot from Dave Jones over the years, from nothing to something. Whatever I couldn't understand at first I spent time trying to find out about it in order to expand my knowledge. It is not an ideal world for some as I don't access to the equipment that he has, no one to show me stuff or to afford it plus he shows you how to use it and how things work backed up by datasheets, that is what I find inspires confidence.

I remember he said many years ago in some video that his audiences were complaining about too little detail or too much so you can't please everybody.

Over the years I have found this forum very helpful into helping people do all sorts of stuff.

I don't believe anything in that statement not after the numerous teardowns over the years and showing us how thing work and repairing stuff and his connections and interviews.

Stackexchange is useful for "which button do I use to floggle the widgeon in ObscureApp v1.3.2?" type questions. Or where a technician wants to copy and paste code into their application, without understanding it.

Don't be snobby about Technicians.
I'm a Tech, & I find Stackexchange pretty inadequate.

--- Quote ---Stackexchange fails dismally where subtle points can and should be debated to and fro.

The "rating" & placing answers "in order of relevance", mostly reveals the lack of knowledge of the question subject matter on the part of the moderator doing what is basically censorship.
