Stock Electronic Image FAILS

[Fungus]

I searched for "naked female electronic engineer" and got this as the first hit:

That's interesting, even with "safe search" off I get the same result, and nearly no other naked woman. Just don't do this with just the first two words and safe search off

"naked female construction workers", OTOH....

never ever search for nude female activist. 
You will find more Hair than a Sheep ever would have.

I discovered "Young attractive female electronic engineer" is actually a stock image search term.

I searched for "naked female electronic engineer" and got this as the first hit:



I think the genre is under-represented, something must be done!

That's interesting (not the naked female engineer bit ). The tape drive at the top of that rack seem to have the same transports as used in the DEC TU56. I wonder which came first, I thought DEC originated it.

That is a chopped-up LINC (Laboratory INstrument  Computer), and I  think that is Mary Allen Wilkes at the console.  If you look up her name, the same pic comes up, with a couple more.  One is of one of the first LINCs at the bottom of her parent's stairwell, while she was writing the OS/editor/assembler package for the LINC called LAP-6.

The LINC was a pretty revolutionary computer from about 1965.  About 50 were made at a "Summer School" by MIT in one of the DEC mill buildings.
It was a 12-bit computer which was used interactively.  There was a Soroban keyboard and an oscilloscope screen that could display a very limited amount of text, but it was still a GREAT leap forward from a clattering Teletype.  I think the LINCtape came first, invented by Wesley Clark at MIT Lincoln Labs, and then mass produced by DEC.  While slow, it was WAY better than punched paper tape!

The actual LINC processor cabinet is cleverly hidden to the right of the picture (follow the big black cables).  It was a 6' tall rack cabinet.

She doxed someone questioning her engineering skill and accusing her being a mere frontend, and Patreon doesn't like content creators doxing people.

I can understand why she could be accused of being nothing more than the front end.

OTOH, her channel combines silicon and silicone. Not to be confused.

[Gyro]

Ah yes, I forgot LINC, thanks. Yes, that would have come first.

I've spent nights in that mill writing and debugging the VAXELN microVAX I diagnostic for the DPV11, fuelled by pizza and coke! Quite disconcerting to see the floor below through gaps in the floorboards.  They used to have a PCB fab in the basement, complete with frogs!

Not entirely an "image fail" but I came across this commercial for a very powerful deWalt drill.

Well many German Translator dont know the difference. That leed to some funny situation when the Talk about "silicone" Chips.

It seems even more of the latter than before

It's not that uncommon for Asian engineers to be good looking, something that surprises many in the US. And it's hard to deny that good looks backed by good skills make for great tech TV. Actually, considering China has over 4 times the population of the US, I'm surprised there aren't more Asian content creators in tech.

It seems even more of the latter than before 

I have to agree that it's a bit ridiculous, but do remember that she's primarily an artist. Just something to set her apart from all the others.

I didn't know you could get meters with slanted numbers.

[Fungus]

Where's the electronics engineer version of this?

[windsmurf]

...
Don't worry honey I'll take care of him!
...

Now THAT looks like someone who knows what they're doing.

Of course, its a Fluke!

[windsmurf]

I didn't know you could get meters with slanted numbers.

...

Yes that's standard on meters with backwards print on the meter.

[Kjelt]

  I want one that can do Bold and underline when a certain level has been reached, say an visual min/max extension

and occasionally invent the “English” word “silicium” for the element...

[windsmurf]

Ok back to our regularly scheduled program...

 At least he's not trying to solder the hard drive. It looks like an actual circuit, albeit with a blob chip on the underside. Looks like some sort of LED driver.  Looks like the angle just makes it look weird how he's looking through the magnifying visor.


 As for the bold and underline on a multimeter - you know that's not really a bad idea, on the graphical display types it should even be possible. Though if you already have a graphical display, why not just show the min and max as actual numbers in the upper or lower corners of the display instead of varying the main readout.
 

[Kjelt]

At least he is not soldering his finger as the previous models did

Indeed I already have that I think 
But I would like to have min/max settings not just the readouts, I would like to be notified when my min or max setting is surpassed, like with the beep for conductivity setting, you set the number of  ohms, below that the buzzer/beeper sounds.

He's clearly not looking through the magnifier while he tries to solder the board to the glass table

[basinstreetdesign]

WOW, I gotta get me a meter that can read capacitance with probes shorted!  And right through the cap case, too.   

But wait! it isn't showing any units on the display... is it pf, nf, uf, mf or just farads.

[Bud]

Nope, he is on Ohm range, he is doing ESR 

[tooki]

And he’s in the 2MOhms (2000 kOhms on this meter) range, so that’s reading 2kOhms! Time to replace that cap for sure! 

At least with their fire sticks you can probably desolder it from the top of the can, too...
