I’d love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

Good news, I’m starting to see products like this on the market!

To be faaaaaaair… The devices no longer have the DC voltage and current ratings listed on them like they used to.

Tension makes me think of how one “can’t let go” if high-voltage AC is flowing through their arms. 😬

…and warnings in multiple languages. HAUTE TENSION!

Potential or electromotive force. “Voltage” is long accepted. The only use of “amperage” you’ll find in The Art of Electronics is in the index: Amperage, see current. Ampère called current “intensité du courant”, hence I in V = I × R.

I don’t know why it bugs me. This is Mildly Infuriating… The place for nitpicking! 😅

That’s the joke. Edit: oops, you got the message already! 😂

For some reason, “amperage” mildly infuriates me. It’s current.

Voltage equals amperage times ohmage.

A weatherman saying it went viral ~9 years ago, if anyone wants to hear the pronunciation:

grub’s always been a hack. The first stage in 512 byte boot sector chainloads the second stage in the space between boot sector and the first sectors of first partition. Second stage chainloads the kernel. (This is my primitive gist.)

grub was never made for security, it just exists in a place where one would think security would be priority… but again, physical access = pwned, etc.

Not quite the same, but funny: I recently unlocked an HDD from a car head unit to prove to a friend that it was only storing music ripped from its CD drive (and the associated minimal CD title database)… Toshiba master HDD password is 32 spaces. 😅

Better replace your keyboard everytime you leave it unattended, someone could put a keylogger in it. Don’t forget to check for hidden pinhole cameras around that capture you inputting your passwords. Etc, etc. Those even work against an encrypted drive…
