I’m talking YouTube channels with a few thousand views, streamers with single digit viewers, writers who only get a few reads on their submissions.

Since the fediverse is all about boosting connection to smaller voices, let’s share the love!

    Most of it isn’t strictly necessary. Like, he has sputtering equipment for making layers that can’t be chemically deposited for example. The one where he makes a MOSFET on camera involves just spin coating with tape and some random motor, a little tube furnace to bake impurities in and chemical etching IIRC.

    He uses commercially available blank wafers; you’d need a small arc furnace (or at least a blast furnace and patience when your product is mostly iron) to make silicon from sand and something resembling a meth lab to clean it (and then you’d grow and cut your wafer, but that could be done on a desk I’m sure).
