This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really, not anymore, almost everything is soldered or integrated or pins even the wifi antenna is a trace on the board these days, laptops still have a few but that is just because they don't need to shrink that much but everything from dongles to phones don't have wires these days.
I would argue the traces on a PCB are the same as wires. They take the same form (highly conductive material thats insulated on all sides) and do the same thing (carry electrical signal between two devices with minimal interference)
Except it's Ridgid was never drawn out or part of a much longer wire, the only similarities it has is it's conductive and all metal is conductive.
