You got three sentences correct.

The insulation between the windings was probably non-existent.

Also... uh.. TO-263 packages are surface mount and likely require heat dissipation of some kind. There is a chance that heat sinking isn't required, but it's standard practice to at least ground the tab. (Using the package like that for quick at home projects is fine. Putting it in a production power supply like that is just silly.)

Throw the rest of those powes supplies you have directly in the bin. It's not worth the risk with those shitty transformers and that poor design. It would really suck if a failure mode sent mains voltage through what you are powering. (It needs a full teardown to say for certain though.)

Daaaamn! You had color? I only had monochrome on the Apple IIe at school for this game.

So I'm the smart now?

Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

Lulz. I just stole your comment. It's mine now.

It looks like the site is just AI generated crap based off of blog posts it scraped. "Cyber Security News" is about as generic as it gets.

Usually tear gas. I haven't seen any reports to the contrary, yet.

Tear gas usage is a war crime and it's also not harmless.

Generalize much?

So I just took a small sample (outside of major business districts) with Google maps street view dropping random pins in L.A. and searching for American flags. 0/3.

Same with Paris. 0/3.

I guess I got lucky? People can do their own samples and will likely see the inverse of my results.

Yeah, the pledge of allegiance is kinda stupid and has been cut from most schools at the start of the day. (That is likely regional though.) It's still kinda weird that sports events still leverage national anthems too.

Many people here see hyperpatriotism as kinda weird and is more closely associated with (the bad kind) of nationalism.

To answer all questions like this, it depends on where you go. Some places are worse than others. Culturally important cities tend to be much more 'murica than others.

The US is a big country and it depends on where you are. Usually, expression of patriotism is directly correlated to the number of dualies found in that region.

Anywhere you go, in any country, you are going to find a subset of rabid nationalists.

In my experience, Canadians living in the US are more prone to express their own patriotism by hanging American and Canadian flags. (That is just my experience and also shouldn't be considered a constant.)

This reeks of bias so it's probably of interest: https://typingadventure.com/vive-la-france/

Ukraine could just ask Russia really nice for them to leave the country. That way, they wouldn't need to ask for any more weapons. EZPZ.

The only people I know who are obsessed and delusional about AI are CEOs and LinkedIn shitposters.
