I swear I've had the same issue with a evil loud ground loop howl. I could toggle it off like that.

on one side of this, the good news is that a lot of the devices have no reason to be online for normal functionality and can be air gapped to hell
on the other side though, even if a network is air gapped, lateral movement of scum like ransomware can still disable the devices and if nobody took a disk image of it while it was still working, it's toast

you have tons of unmaintainable stuff that's still in service because it's all $250,000+ machines that the manufacturer turned around and washed their hands of two days before it shipped from the warehouse and the budget or other resources to manufacture and obtain a replacement somehow don't exist

that is absolutely the normal state of IT systems in healthcare, sadly

Solar panels on a roof usually create this second air gapped roof effect, and it works absolute wonders.

my brain just wants to throw a bus error (the desire to do nothing other than get on a bus to the edge of the forest, step off, and scream into the trees until i collapse)

My thought is more that it was not a born trait, but growing up, you know, in a family that ran a diamond mine with slave labor, kinda doomed him to it

yeah I can confirm, neither of my Fire TVs nor any of the various sticks do it. That's not to say it couldn't be something sinister that's being A/B tested though---

it's not exactly biphase as much as you just have access to all three pins coming out of a center-tapped winding on the transformer. this four prong plug has L1 N L2 and ground with L1/L2 being the far ends of the winding for 240v. I'm glad this adapter has presumably 15 amp breakers for each of the NEMA 15 amp receptacles

Shooooom!
I was experiencing the same trying to photograph hummingbirds outside my office, at 1/2000 they were still pretty smeared. I was trying to follow their motion but I'm not quite THAT coordinated yet

Just a heads up - X is really not doing great in terms of revenue, and is kinda on life support with Elon liquidating Tesla stock to keep it alive. Historically, when large internet companies run into hard financial times, one of their major assets that may be liquidated to try to keep them afloat or to repay debts after bankruptcy is the user data.
And, uh, that's a lot of user data. Please be careful about what information you may have on that platform, because it's probably gonna be sold off
