Goodness, she's scary. They might have been wiser to just use an audio-only recording! :P

No emotion. Is she real, or a bot?

I feel like there is emotion in that death stare!

"Plated through-hole" and "via" are not synonyms. PTHs are plated holes through which you insert a component lead; vias are plated holes through which component leads are not placed.

That's right. Besides, conversely, not *all* vias are PTH. Blind and buried vias are *not* through-holes at all. :)

I should have remembered that fact, given that just 2 weeks ago, I spun a PCB with hundreds of tented vias (since I needed the silkscreen to be legible for the kids who'll be assembling the kits — on the prior version, the via stitching left the silkscreen looking rather moth-eaten). Altium defaults to open vias, so changing them to tented was an extra step I had to do explicitly.

Yes, I've heard both pronunciations before.

Whilst we're discussing this, let's go for:
"GIF": there's no "discussion" for this, it's an acronym of "Graphics Interchange Format" - the first letter of "GIF" is therefore going to be, phonetically sounded as "Guh" and not "Juh", as it's only a moron who thinks that you'd pronounce "Graphics" as "Jraphics" :palm:
Yeah I know it's very tired, that debate. Logic wins over "opinion" though.
There's others, but I've no inclination to digress further.
