I think the right answer here has to be “do not give anyone, any service, any business, any app, photos of your identity document.”. Just stop the normalisation of this. In some cases you might allow *human inspection* of your ID, but do not upload it, do not let anyone scan it.
There is “I fucked up”. And there is “I built an app and accidentally leaked the drivers licenses of thousands of women on the internet” level of fucked up . RIP

Goddamn Omnetics connectors, glorified pin header for $100 each.💰It is hard to find better options though, with the same small size and and pin density, especially if it needs to fit on a mouse wetware. 50 thou pin headers can be good, not ideal and bigger, but 1% of the price.
Biotech electronics are fucking insane. This 36 pin connector used in a popular head stage acquisition board and nothing else costs $170 each. And don’t get me started on how much 64 30ksample ADC channels cost…. I am going to open source an RHD2000+ alternative Soon™️

It’s a nice expensive apparatus, so if the bolts come out feeling rough, or any galling, don’t be afraid to scrap the bolts and replace with new. Nickel antiseize such as Loctite 771 may be used but it gets on everything and it’s messy, so be careful near clean vacuum internals.
真空容器のVF300アクリルフランジ止めてたM12SUSボルトが12本中2本も齧りやが���た。どうにも外れなくてこりゃグラインダーかな思ってたら、学科の技術員の方に良いスプレー貸して頂きなんとか外れた!しかしそんな大した力で締めてない箇所なのにそんなことあんのね…外せたネジも気持ちガリを感じる。
