Have you ever wondered how low we’re willing to go for a bargain? Just when you thought $0.60 for a knockoff ADS1115 ADC was too good to be true, it turns out it really IS too good to be true! We're falling for the trap of "Very Cheap Stuff" again, ignoring the classic warning of caveat emptor.
Imagine building your project with a component that’s just a ticking time bomb! I’ve been there, thinking I was scoring a deal, only to end up with faulty tech that ruined my hard work. It’s maddening to see so many of us gamble our projects on these cheap imitations. Are we really okay with compromising quality just to save a few cents?
Think twice before you click that “Buy Now” button next time!
