The analog course is pretty low resolution but the audio is pretty good.


CPUs/GPUs/RAM/SSDs/Motherboards/SoundCards/Wifi/5G/Bluetooth/GamingMice/GamingControllers/Touchscreens/Webcams/3DPrinters are all made with integrated circuits.

For a long time I thought that anything analog was obsolete. Except for maybe HiFi DACs/AMPs.

I've heard a lot of people say "We're living in the digital age".

I didn't realize that analog sticks on gaming controllers was called "analog" for a reason.

I also didn't realize that gaming mice, and touchpads on laptops, and touchscreens on smartphones were all analog.

ChatGPT says calculus is essential for engineering analog integrated circuits, so now I'm trying to learn calculus.

You thought trig was difficult. Calculus is a whole different level of excitement. I'm sure it'll go just as well as the C++ did :^D

Here is a amazing video about photolithography plants, one of my life goals is to work at a photolithography plant, if I could choose which sector it would be for GPUs but I'd settle for anything.

ChatGPT says the only places in Los Angeles that does photolithography is at UCLA and USC.

Maybe I can make a donation just to take a look around the labs.

Maybe learn regular electronics before you even consider lithography. That's very expensive to get into and very complex. NGL a tour of one of those places would be fun though but don't know if they just let anyone go in.
