Not ragging on anyone for ignorance, never will, but it's a little weird how many people are asking what these are, especially in such a nerdy community.

You're not gonna believe this, but most chemists never touch electronics. "Nerdy" is a really, really, really wide category.

You can be a nerd about anything. A language nerd who speaks 20 languages and studies ancient Akkadian for fun won't know what those are.

I mean I am a nerd, but I haven't much of a clue about trees and plant life.

I found two posts in this entire thread asking what these actually are. That's not a whole lot.

Could just be my client but the image is so pixelated and the resistors are quite small. So it took me a while to see as well.
