It is not really just a kettle. Has integrated tea strainer, you can use it as a teapot.
It is missing a proper tea cosy, however.

Am open for good chat on topics that matter in life and elsewhere.

You mean ‘virtualization’ here, I guess.
Using it often. Mostly via ngspice nowadays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngspice
Using siblings of this broadband capacitor (40 GHz, same package) in some designs. In assembly, those require decent process control. This 0201M package is closer to 01005 passives in pad size. Typically no solder paste is used, just flux. Solder mask alignment has to be very tight (thin web used as a dam only).
Cost per cap is reasonable where it is actually needed, other parts of the system are often orders of magnitude more expensive at those frequencies where performance matters. Where it gets the very high performance, is pillars/channels etched into silicon quite similar to how DRAM capacitors are made, just a “little bit bigger”. This allows for very low inductance and thus very high resonant frequency.
If my calculations are correct, that setup probably lasts at least 30 years. This is not a cell phone battery and panels do not degrade that fast.

- you have to look at it in frequency domain as well;
- speed of light is too slow;
- often capacitors are inductors, even more so when mounted on PCB;
- capacitance is not what is written on the component.
I am teaching this to robotics and computer engineering MSc students. Quite nice intro book into the topic that I recommend to my students: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/principles-of-power/978...
Took me a while to figure this out.
