This looks pretty intense. Their time estimates add up to over 35 days (assuming a full 8 hours of work per day) to complete, although some of the estimates seem a bit weird. Basic Linux installation and usage is given 10 hours which seems like it must be very hand holdy.

Also, there are some rough corners. I went to the course material to see what is covered in that 10 hour course and it starts off with:

    *Install a Linux operating system*

    We will reuse the content from the PA lecture notes.
    Please install the Linux operating system according to PA0.

That PA0 link goes to https://ysyx.oscc.cc/docs/ics-pa/PA0.html which is entirely in Kanji but doesn't appear to have any extra information about installing Linux.

The machine translation of that page is amusing:

    The Eve of the World's Birth: Development Environment Setup
    The Story of the World's Birth - Prologue

    PA tells the story of a “Pioneer Creating a Computer.”

    The Pioneer intended to create a computer world. 
    But even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients. 
    To facilitate the creation of this world, even the Pioneer had to put in considerable effort to prepare. 
    Let's see what tools he gathered.

I’m guessing a good chunk of the page is AI generated - em dashes and random emojis.

Some folks actually were taught to use em-dashes as part of their normal writing, especially if you've taken a technical writing course.

I dislike that people think you're an AI if you're using proper typography. :(

Just writing multiple paragraphs with compound-complex sentences makes people think you're an AI. :(

It might be "proper" but I never liked it.

Many proper uses of the em-dash put two words visually together—despite being parts of two distinct units separated by the em-dash.

I much prefer using a normal dash with a space on each side - like this.

Given "AI" is over 50% of all content now, even if you flip a coin chances are pretty good some article contains slop.

The Ubuntu repositories curate both the legacy and more modern logisim fork:

sudo apt-get install logisim

sudo snap install logisim-evolution

Microcap 12 is also still available from the archive.org web cache, was made free, and runs in Wine64 just fine:

Microcap will handle both Analog and Digital simulations.

KiCad now also supports Spice, and reports it should import the free LTSpice libraries. I have yet to find a use case for the kicad sim option... so YMMV.

Best of luck, =3

Most AI tells are like this. I have been taught in marketing training to list things in pairs of three, because that's punchy, sufficiently succinct and very memorable. Now this is strongly associated with AI

After all AI didn't pick up these habits out of nowhere - all the tells are good writing advice and professional typography, but used with a frequency you would only see in highly polished texts like marketing copy

Totally agree with this view. Why use an extra character when we already have a dash - just to add a pixel or two on either side. How an em-dash visually connects two words is not pleasant either, I prefer to have a space between them. For writing English, the ASCII character set is plenty.
