Stock Electronic Image FAILS

Removing the Pentium III bug.
I figure kids are usually smart, like: i should not burn this with the hot iron, so the sleek photographers edit the motherboard in.

There seems to be an entire "disoriented multimeter" genre!

Make it stop!

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

"Silly Engineer" is a stock image category...

Dexterity with using chopsticks is useful for holding both meter probes in one hand.

Searching for "sexy female engineers" I found a certain Naomi 'SexyCyborg' Wu who has her own YouTube channel. I am sure people are very interested in her "projects" and the many views have nothing to do with tiny bikinis or tight T-shirts. It seems she was kicked out of Patreon for some reason.

I would LOVE to know what’s going through stock photographers’ minds when they shoot crap like this!!

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, 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

[soldar]

You do realize that under those clothes ... she is naked.

This woman is awesome. She can solder with a cold iron, using no solder and without even looking at the work.

When you are a Technician, it's not an image, it's an everyday reality!

Right - haven't you ever heard of a "cold solder joint"?

 Reminds me of my friend in high school. He brought in his meter and some project or another we were working on that was on a breadboard. So he had some fine wire wrapped around the probes to stick in the breadboard. All fine, until then he goes to demonstrate other uses for the meter and sticks the probes in a wall outlet (he DID switch to the proper range - but forgot one thing). POOF! the two pieces of wire managed to touch and being that they were about #24 managed to disintegrate before the breaker feeding the outlet tripped. Ooops!

Very common among Asian engineers. Most useful for checking between two points on a board, however - it's hard to get the precision needed to hold on to a SMD part using the probes.

Searching for "sexy female engineers" I found a certain Naomi 'SexyCyborg' Wu who has her own YouTube channel. I am sure people are very interested in her "projects" and the many views have nothing to do with tiny bikinis or tight T-shirts.

I remember that (been quite a while since I last checked) her percentage of female viewers is actually a lot higher than for most purely electronics videos. A lot of women are being inspired by her to get into technology, but to my knowledge, only one - Sarah Petkus - appears to have been inspired by her appearance. (Piper Blush doesn't count since she doesn't do DIY electronics, at least not yet.)

Stop making fun of us stock models Dave!  Or I'm going to stick you where the sun don't shine!
