Just realized I've been using the same oscilloscope probe for 12 years
Checked the calibration on my old Tektronix probe yesterday and it was off by 15% on a 400 Hz trace, so I swapped it out and now I'm rechecking every repair I did for the last 6 months, has anyone else had a tool like that drift without you noticing?

15% off is annoying but not exactly catastrophic for most work. You might be overthinking the rechecks, that kind of drift usually builds up slow.

It's like how small bad habits sneak up on you until they're just your normal routine...

You ever tried just catching yourself before it becomes a full-blown habit?
