Please explain… If I’m below the age of… Whatever they decide, what will or will not be accessible to me? Like, if I’m below a certain age, will some EU appointed DNS restrict what domains I can reach? Or, since this article is about hardware-bound attestation, are my devices going to prevent me from installing and using certain apps if I’m below the age? I don’t understand where the restrictions are going to lie…

Bonus: can’t I just buy, say, five phones right now, root them or install custom OSs before shit hits the fan and be happy?

Coils as in the transformer’s?

Only if you make a video of it and share it with us.

Your whole comment was great but this part in particular cleared up things really well for me:

The only time that the current in the outlet while the transformer is connected would matter is if you were in series with the transformer. While it’s obvious now that you mention it, I totally overlooked the fact that when people get shocked, they don’t come in contact with the circuit in a serial manner/configuration. This is probably why I calculated the values so overly simplistically, I think. Anyway, thanks! 😊

Cool! This made things really clear! It’s a multifaceted matter, not just “volts VS. amps”. Thanks! 😊

Bonkers 🤣

Thanks anyway! 😊

Excellent advice! Thanks! I’ll try this tomorrow after work. 🫡😊

It’s messing with my head because it sits RIGHT between a G and a G#. Fuck me.

Gonna try -10 tomorrow and also push that IP65 rating to its limits with a water canon. Yay or nay?

Any specific genre? 🤔 Don’t leave me with a half assed suggestion PLEASE. 😂

Yes, but I don’t want to be talking to my projects saying: we are getting aggravated 💀

Sweet! Unfortunately I have secured it to the wall with semipermanent double sided tape, and I’d rather not pluck it down at the moment. But if the humming will interfere with my work, I’ll check out the insides! Duly noted on the safety risks! 🫡 Thanks!

Thanks! I was just waiting for somebody to point that out! Namely, that there should be a momentary… “Effect”? Of an electric field in all parts of the circuit before it equalizes. Thanks! 😊

One of these days, I’ll pull myself together and read up on AC too. 😅

I wouldn’t pick a fight with 'em if I were you. They have the high ground:

Thanks! In this book, for better and for worse, we are only trying to understand binary logic and how to express parts of that (AND and OR) with serial and parallel switches, so we’re not really touching on the electrical characteristics of the individual components. But I’ll keep your reply in mind going forward! 😊

This was an amazing explanation. I’m saving it. Thank you so much! I wanna learn writing schematics or whatever they’re called so badly but…

My guess is no. You’re safe. 😊 They have probably been uninstalled from the user space portion of your phone (but still exist on the system partition, which is why you’re able to factory reset the phone if needed).

Insane how “the internet*” has got your back sometimes. I’m gonna talk about this formula nonstop at my workplace tomorrow.

Thanks! 😁

Nowadays, it seems like you don’t have to root in order to be able to remove system apps, so don’t root for that reason at least. The methods include using Shizuku and Canta, I think.

I root my Samsung phone because I like the device (S23) and my threat model doesn’t require me to run GMS sandboxed on a Pixel in Graphene OS.

Rooting my phone made it possible to have a firewall and a hosts file to block a lot of telemetry while also running a VPN - unrooted, the firewall or DNS based blocking would take up the OS’s VPN slot.

These are the apps that on my system benefit from - if not completely reliant on - rooting:
