@thomasfuchs Back in college digital lab, while building digital microcontrollers, some careless student would always inadvertently cause their lab project to execute the EBRS (Emit Burnt Resistor Smell) instruction.

@thomasfuchs Shame they don't do burnt capacitor, that's my favorite!

@greenpete @thomasfuchs you mean electrolytic or some other kind? (I don't know of any specific smell associated with burning/exploding any capacitors other than electrolytic.)
