Thanks for the interesting write-up!

Thanks, I'll have a look. It's an universal mains power supply with no voltage switch.

How were you measuring the current in the power cable? Is this with a Kill-o-watt device or perhaps with a clamp meter and a line splitter?

For the current both with a line-splitter+clamp and checked with an in-line meter. For the power factor, since I don't have any actual instrument to measure It, and I just needed a ball-park figure to discern actual consumption from a capacitor, I used this diy method: https://www.giangrandi.org/electronics/cosphi/cosphi.shtml , which measured 0.04 ( with great approximation ).

As for why there is a capacitor across the mains input [...]

I have the basic on how a switching power supply work, but I was asking because it seemed weird to me that commercial appliances didn't take any stand-by meaures to avoid "keeping the wires warm"... is this the norm?

Which bridge do you use? do you self-host it?

Exactly, even when applied correctly, many projects will just not work with scrum. Managers that sponsor ONE approach have already failed....

The point is just differentiating your behavior between what you call a "bad" or a "good" junior.

And from experience the difference is whether they want to learn (regardless of their skill!!) or not (i.e are they passionate or it's just a job?).

Passionate seniors get frustrated when they try to teach bad juniors, but there is no point on doing that, the problem was just that the senior was not involved in the hiring process...

I get what you mean, I think in a realistic scenario this only work to circumvent some laws. if you are tortured by someone who know about this and don't care about your life, then it's meaningless.

In effetti se anche una singola istituzione italiana iniziasse ad usarlo, sarebbe una bella pubblicita'

Does not "help protecting privacy", that is marketing. It's a system for ads that track you in a more privacy-friendly way then other alternatives.

Peoples are mostly angry at the fact that they just silently slipped this system in without asking for consent.

you’d almost certainly notice the change in gravity.

Really? can you actually percieve the sun gravity? Do you mean that we would get like a tsunami beause of the tidal effect? Now I kinda want a documentary about this.

I'm currently on a TLK, and mostly because I want to learn to stop moving my hands away from the home row. It's not even only about arrows, but also home/end page up/down etc. and combinations with them which I use a lot and it just get slow and weird since I have to reposition my hands every time... mine is currently quite limited in what I can program it to do unfortunately.

QMK looks good, also because I'm familiar with C. I'll probably go with a prebuild to start out since I'm mainly interested in customizing the setup for now, thanks!
