There is no form, mostly a blank page. I'm running Firefox.
I hate forms anyhow. What's wrong with email?
Close out Firefox and restart it. If that doesn't work, reboot your machine. It's fine here.
I get the same issue at times. Some webpages just don't work on some machines.
There is no form, on my machine at work or the one at home.
If that form is not shown, then you need to update your browser, or switch to Chrome
It's safer and easier to switch to OnSemi.
It's dangerous to keep your system old, including browsers. Vulnerability holes are stuffed all the time, if you keep an old browser your system could be wide open to intruders

I don't mind Firefox updating itself pretty often. I don't like when
they change the ui and cosmetics for no reason, just to be different.
The alternative is to trust Google or Microsoft. As if!

That's what I did with the MCP23S18 I mentioned in the other message.
It'd be clear enough if the resistance to ground were effectively infinite
or in the Gohm range, or if it was obviously tied to the other ground pins.
But what am I supposed to do if it's on the order of 1 Mohm? The pad is
clearly connected to *something* internal, but they can't be bothered to
elaborate.
It's all too common for data sheets to not mention the paddle, or hide
it in some fine print somewhere. We always asign it a pin number and
show it on the schematic decal.
I guess I'm supposed to make assumptions about the electrical properties
of their (currently-used) substrate material.

Exactly. What would I ohm the pad to? Assumed ESD diodes?

One bad data sheet can spin off hundreds of support requests, or

I'm going to use MC10EP parts instead of the Pericom/Diodes thing.
They are dual-sourced and have good data sheets. Slower, though.

I think that risk is overplayed. If you have good firewalling and
are sensible about the sites you visit, disable script in the email
client and delete / never click content on email the don't recognise
there's little risk for the average user, Major commercial sites
are always at risk, but have never used antivirus software here
and have not had any problems in over 10 years.
Like insurance, antivirus software is selling fear, sucks system
resources and only needed by the careless...

Way back when I put an old win98 machine online for someone for 2 years with no firewall or AV, way past 1998, when 98 was described as being hopelessly vulnerable. A freebie machine for domestic use. It was left on 24/7 and used a lot. Checking it after 2 years showed it had zero malware. There are certainly risks out there, but many overstate them wildly for obvious reasons - firstly copmanies for profit & secondly individuals who think by quoting others they're knowledgeable.
I find that hard to believe unless there was something to stop the invasion. Sometime around 2002 or so there was a virus/trojan/other malware that would infect a computer even if it never viewed a web page or email. As soon as you connected to the Internet your IP would be found and you would be infected. I know this because I was trying to fix a friend's machine and kept forgetting to install the update to fix this vulnerability before I connected to the line (using a modem) and would be reinfected within a minute. lol
