To be fair, using phones while driving was banned in most countries back when phones still had physical buttons.

Duck yeah!

Best I can do instead is calling it x.

Maybe this is true for some regions, but in general the reason was money. SMS costs money, Whatsapp intially had a low one time or annual fee that was way below what you used to pay for a few SMS, but you got better service than MMS for that fee. And now it’s free and sustained by network effects.

Spleen.

What’s the significance of the colors? Greenish = “stealing”, orange = “okay”, yellow = “grey area”? Seems awfully negative, maybe invert the whole thing.

Not antiquated, they just sound a little like hillbillies.

To be fair if you’re used to “metropolitan” French then some Québécois accents can sound very “redneck”.

So you do agree that he is a man, I rest my case.

Birdperson: Ok.

Luxembourg is a country that’s barely larger than a city, the american mind cannot comprehend this.

Thank you, I came here to comment that he looks like a turtle and there it already is, this masterpiece.

Looks like a fork that was made from a knife, wouldn’t-put-into-my-mouth/10.

Fourth option: I’m done with the internet

Nobody claimed they’re genetically manipulated humans. They’re organic but man-made, and apparently it’s very hard to tell the difference to a real human except through emotional responses.

OP is talking about extension cords with multiple outlets/sockets, that’s not a power divider, the connected devices will draw as much power as they need. The fear with that is you might overload the socket, and it could start burning. But that should only happen if the circuit breakers aren’t matched to the wire cross section area, meaning the wires can get too hot.

An actual power divider is something you’ll use in RF systems, it literally divides power, the simplest form would be a T-junction and at the other connectors you only get half the power (obviously), so it appears attenuated by 3dB. Let’s say you feed the system with 0dBm (1mW) and you want 0dBm at each output you need to amplify by 3dB somewhere and make sure your circuits support that. Using multiple power dividers is not uncommon if you want for example to feed multiple antennas with the same signal.

Power dividers are RF components, they divide power (and in reverse they’re power combiners), if you chain 10 power dividers you get around 30dB attenuation. If you want to compensate for that make sure your system can handle more power.

For extension cords with multiple sockets read the other replies.

Vague is french, segue is italian, hence different pronunciation, the french equivalent would probably be suite.
