There are several youtubers doing it with lasers in the 20-30W range.<br/><br/>But (most? all?) fiber lasers emit wavelengths somewhere in the infrared range. Copper is highly reflective to infrared, enough that it can be used to make *mirrors* for infrared lasers.<br/><br/>Why does this work so well, but if I point my 20W 455nm diode laser* (which should be absorbed a lot better by copper) at a blank PCB, it just heats up a spot until the glue/FR4 behind it vaporize and make a bubble of undamaged copper instead?<br/><br/>edit: Someone elsenet suggested it&#39;s because fiber lasers are 20W average but in very short pulses of much higher power, so the heat wouldn&#39;t have a chance to dissipate away. That makes sense, but obvious followup question: can you make a UV laser (not necessarily diode based) that pulses in the same way?<br/><br/>* <a href="https://lasertree.com/products/laser-tree-k20-20w-optical-power-laser-module">https://lasertree.com/products/laser-tree-k20-20w-optical-power-laser-module</a> if more information is relevant to an answer 2025-02-09T17:45:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvkladl2a096z4xq6qmm33qk26y88zr7ldtk8c4asjytugm9pq4pgzyrve963hdj8f0s3kexjlp0egm79zqt6mxeqhdarj8tc6su0l855acuvth3q periodic reminder to put test pads on your boards so you don&#39;t have to do shit like this<br/><br/>#electronics #theWorkshop<br/> <img src="https://sparkly.uni.horse/system/media_attachments/files/113/892/014/543/294/141/original/74f581b97c808623.jpg"> <br/> 2025-01-26T01:17:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsre300ytmnqd9y0vl3v6u5hle4z90qu0ua5c0zlz9g0d9umetxxgqzyrve963hdj8f0s3kexjlp0egm79zqt6mxeqhdarj8tc6su0l855acled5m6 If you give someone information, they now have that information. Information can be stored and replicated at will.<br/><br/>Even if they promise not to store it, they still *can* store it, and you&#39;ll never know.<br/><br/>Laws protect you about as much as promises do. Even if there&#39;s a law saying they can&#39;t use that information for a specific purpose, there might not always be, and they might not be following it now while it still exists. If they are, they might be following the letter and not the spirit of that law.<br/><br/>This is inspired by a thing I learned today, in which a thing I thought was explicitly disallowed due to some laws (but was obviously technically possible with the underlying data) can be done as long as you ask customer support nicely and say it&#39;s for &#34;compliance&#34; with those same laws. But (1) I will probably get yelled at if I leak more than that, and (2) you should be thinking of this generally, not as a property of specific laws or specific kinds of data. 2025-01-22T19:20:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswm97wmrphrxvs6z3uv860xlt3duyf4gy2s6p665elhzaerguq37szyrve963hdj8f0s3kexjlp0egm79zqt6mxeqhdarj8tc6su0l855acaqal08 is there a replacement term we like for master/slave in the sense of I2C/SPI devices that are/aren&#39;t driving the bus?
