@niconiconi ... somehow I never considered that the term "plugin" had it's roots in hardware. It seems quite obvious now.

@theruran Right now I have very mixed feelings about not being anywhere near Texas.

@theruran I'm in the process of trying to cram all my stuff into a slightly larger space than it was in before, and somehow in the process it's all increased in quantity. Like a bunch of tribbles.I would love some of that beautiful stuff. I also am painfully aware that I already have more stuff than I have space.

@erosdiscordia The only place I go with any frequency is a healthcare establishment, so I never quite got comfortable with not wearing a mask. And then things started looking bad again and I decided, you know what? It's probably for the best that I just keep wearing it everywhere.If grown adults can't act like, well, grown adults, at least I can try and minimize further harm on my part. And maybe protect myself and those I care about a too.

Just found this screenshot in my Nextcloud named "VirtualBox_MS-DOS_21_01_2019_18_12_55"I have zero recollection of taking it. Or even having that VM.

Have I shared this before?Not really sure where it came from, but it is now on my wall of shame.

@wauz It's fine. The smoke hasn't come out yet. The users aren't electrified to the point where they can't let go of the product. Just keep using it. /sBut seriously, cut the ends off and throw it away.I've had multiple run-ins with power supplies that were very unhappy to discover they did not have a proper ground. They did things like dump lots of AC into all the metal bits, and then it starts showing up in strange places that it shouldn't. "Why is this low voltage DC device shocking me with what feels like 60Hz AC?" Cause some dingus spliced a non-grounded plug into the extension cord and since I was just a guest in the shop, I had no idea."Why is this PC case shocking me?" Cause one half of that duplex outlet wasn't grounded anymore and I hadn't realized it.So yeah.... cords like that, they scare me. Maybe not in my own hands. I know better than to use it in anything but a "I need to test this in a weird way" scenario. But what if someone else wanders in and grabs it when I'm not looking?

@wauz Here in the US, from what I can tell it's fairly common to only have current fault detection on specific circuits. Bathroom, kitchen, outdoor outlets. Often it's implemented with just a receptacle that the rest in that room/area connect to, instead of a circuit breaker.As far as I know, there is no requirement to detect DC faults. Interestingly enough, if you have DC current leaking into a GFCI/RCD it will have a negative impact on the sensitivity to AC leakage.I believe in the UK, there is a requirement for RCDs on permanent electric car chargers to detect and trip for both AC and DC current leakage.If you use YouTube, Big Clive has a number if interesting videos on circuit breakers, as well as a look inside a cheap plug-in electric car charger.

@sean Someone should make a twitter bot that makes NFTs of screenshots of those nice hexagonal NTF avatars >_>

@PhenomX6 Step away from the knowledge, citizen. Leave the chocolate to the professionals.

@sean If/when this got to be A Thing, I'd be far less leery about having a smart TV. So far I've managed to avoid them.

@DeveloperMemes I'm not a developer, but I do tinker with tech stuff.I was fighting a weird problem the other day, and after much frustration and effort, I finally figured out what was wrong, and how to deal with it.So I went to document it in the appropriate location and ... there was already a note there, from myself, telling me about this problem and how to work around it. :blobfacepalm:
