This is very much in the "grey area" between EE and OT.

One of the biggest problems with topic tags, and a problem that gets worse
when you add more topics tags, is that it can be hard to see where something
belongs.

I personally would have started this out as EE, but I can see someone not
wanting to bother Electrical Engineers with it.

The admins are currently discussing the possibility of changing the EE tag
to TECH or just redefining it to mean "Everything Engineering"
