Is a transistor a door? Then doors (and it's not even close). Otherwise wheels because gears are wheels.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought transistor

[-] veroxii@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

I'd classify them more as gates, not doors.

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Gates typically contain doors, yes?

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

Depends, I wouldn't say one of these has a door:

It does contain multiple gearwheels however...

I'm more likely to count individual bearings in a ball bearing as a wheel than a transistor as a door

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Individual ball bearings are definitely wheels.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

They are gates.
