content: There use to be a well known reviewer on U-Tube for all types of test equipment that did a comical review sometimes with many products. He did a 'tear-down' procedure. Rigol & Siglent were two of the brands he reviewed. He commented how similar Siglent was compared to Rigol when Siglent introduced their SA line, basically joking about it.For the life of me I can't remember his name or handle. I tried doing a search and only come up with 'The Signal Path' which is not him. Anyone remember whom I'm talking about??

content: Mikeselectricstuff does very thorough teardowns that are often humorous.I think he's done Rigols but not sure about Siglent. He fairly often posts here, too.

content: Quote from: Gyro on August 29, 2024, 06:00:08 pmTo be fair, I've noticed, the Australian accent does sound similar to some parts of Eastern England. I remember speaking to some people from somewhere in East Anglia, it could've been Cambridgeshire or Suffolk and couldn't help but notice they have an Aussie twang. I thought it was because they'd watched too many trashy Australian soaps, but no it's real. I believe the old working class London accent a couple of hundred years or so ago, sounded similar to Australian, but it's completely changed since then, whilst the Aussies haven't.

content: Quote from: videobruce on August 29, 2024, 06:11:19 pmThe stereotype (I guess "meme" in the modern parlance) is Australian males are called Bruce, and females Sheila. It's probably only commonly used in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.Quote from: Zero999 on August 29, 2024, 06:27:50 pmThere are quite a few UK regional accents in the Australian one. There isstillthe occasional UK accent influence in various US and Canadian regional accents too.
