Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.

No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!

English carries a lot of information in vowels, making it concise.

In this case, it’s natural for English speakers to pronounce words with different meanings differently, to disambiguate them.

Useless? That’s a necessity for using your router console port!

Where are you from?

aubeynarf ,

That’s true only for very simple situations.

Everything from upgrading your doors and windows or your air conditioner and getting a tax credit, to renting out a room and deducting that portion of your home expenses, to working a side handyman or cleaning gig, to spending some cold-wallet crypto to buy gold, to the cost basis of previously unreported gains, to getting married and deciding to file together - the IRS doesn’t know.

And some things are arbitrary, and you have to make the choice and then tell them what choice you made, and how you value it.

This is true in the United States as well, and IRS really doesn’t give a shit if you don’t owe them money and never file - the failure to file fee if you don’t owe is minimal. But you will lose your ability to get it refunded after 3 years.

they will definitely tell you, just go online and download your tax transcript – it contains all reported information.

aubeynarf ,

In the USA, you can download your tax transcript at will from the IRS, and it includes all information they have. Commenter you’re replying to is underinformed.

The government doesn’t have all the data. For example, if you pay a guy to install energy efficient windows, you will need to tell them so that you can get the credit.

aubeynarf ,

yeah they are selling “wireless home
internet” hard now, can’t have people using their phone hotspot for that.

Guys, he made the joke!

fyi the NeXT OS is called NeXTSTEP.

Fun fact: a US nickel weighs 5.000g, and 5 US quarters weigh 1.0000oz

Google's Chrome Browser Analyzing Your Browsing History with so-called "Privacy Sandbox" Feature

For nearly two years now, Google has been gradually rolling out a feature to all Chrome users that analyzes their browsing history within the browser itself. This feature aims to replace third-party cookies and individual tracking by categorizing you into an interest category and sharing that category with advertisers. It's like...

FYI, banks do run exactly this type of analysis inside their own system to get around not being able to share your account activity.

aubeynarf ,

Writing the COBOL probably isn’t the hard part. Reading 60 year old code that had to run in 16k of core to figure out what slice of business logic it contributes… yeah.

Betavoltaics have been around for 40+ years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device

This device generates microwatts. You’d need thousands of them in parallel to power a typical mobile phone.
