Capacitors are just batteries that have been soldered to something. The same is true of Cache, and RAM. If I'm wrong I wana know how.

What is the biggest difference between this and X (twitter), for someone who knows neither? What will be the biggest difference in the future do you think?

I've been trying to get an open source OS since about 2020. I've been using one since probably 2022, and wishing I knew people who used them since I started. In the last week or so, I may have inspired 2 seperate parties to start using them, after I think inspiring no one. for the previous 4 ish years. uhh..."Gradually and then suddenly"?...errrr.....What has changed?

One can stream from a mobile device to youtube, and one will get more viewers on the 'live feed' that's like shorts, or from the shorts feed. It appears youtube doesn't like it when one changes the aspect ratio to mimic that of a phone in order to pop up in these feeds. Is it more complex than this?

After (far far far too many) hours of 'research', and testing (and using for 1 purpose and several measurements), I have decided that Multimeters are like...umm vehicles? There is no perfect one. Okay, say you spend hundreds or thousands on a multimeter. You could easily damage it...then was it the right one? How are you going to get it repaired/repair it? This leads to the ever changing list of multimeters/brands/companies. because there so many different markets for them....because they are a (or the) general purpose electrical tool. I still do not have a multimeter (the one I had seemed damaged on arrival), and I still want one, or two? Do I need 2? I currently want one to test a small vehicles battery pack's cells. That is the pressure. I'd get a 30 dollar one, but I'm wondering if the 80 volt limit is going to cause me problems now or in the future. Greenlee's seem interesting. Some are manufactured in Taiwon? I'd love to get one manufactured in Taiwon. Some of these are US manufactured...which I'm not a fan of currently (happy to expand more on a diff thread). Fluke. I don't want a fluke cause i'm a noob. I think I'll break it. Also I'd prefer one less exposed to a Chinese supply chain. As I prefer with many products (especially technical). What about you? What's your experience with multimeters? What do you use? What do you like/not like, and why?

The TLDR of BTC payments for businesses (I think), is that liquid transactions are like 10X cheaper than BTC on-chain transactions, and Lightning transactions are like 100x cheaper (or something).

Does anyone have media resources for understanding the technology and tactics of the Russia/Ukraine war? Struggling to find anything, and all this drone business seems both important and interesting. Thanks!

Took a break from software for a month to work on hardware, and coming back to it is painful. Forget where I was in my project (that was already a hassle, but I thought I had figured it out), and seeing the 'community' is a reminder of how it seems like a mish mash of people speaking languages based on stacks that pretend each other doesn't exist if they don't share a stack. obvs this is just feels, but blargh...not a great vibe.

Can open source operating systems win without winning gaming? people don't switch, and most people start when they're kids with games no? msoft keeps huge market share primarily because of gaming. or am I missing something?

I don't understand why youtube, sats.stream, twitch, etc don't have native screen record software. Why is this not a thing? Technical reasons, political, or just no one has built it or thought to build it yet? Odd that this functionality hasn't made it to the streaming world yet.
