At some point you realize that the slushee has melted in the face of your system's 1000 W TDP...

What a mess. Fortunately, the frequency thing is less of an issue with modern power supplies, like my laptop charger is rated for 100-240V 50-60 Hz, so it Just Works. But I imagine that was more of a pain before these were widespread.
I have a Google smart speaker that I got as a freebie. I used to use it (>3 years ago) for timers, alarms, etc. and had few problems, I just stopped when I moved and didn't set it up. I put them back up a few months ago and it sure seems worse to me. Always triggering on random conversations, or to dialog on TV. Anyway they are permanent residents of the closet now. They suck.
"If we confuse them now, we can get another contract in a few years to fix the naming situation again!"
Some consulting firm surely was paid a few million to come up with these names.
Still better this than to be the person who weaves across three lanes of traffic to go after their exit, or who sees the exit lane diverging and chooses... Neither, then they just stop there.
That name may be taken, depending on how you look at it! Game developer Tim Cain wrote an OS abstraction library called GNW (GNW's not Windows). That allowed games like Fallout to be built for DOS, Windows, and Mac without major changes. I highly recommend his Youtube channel!

Uhhh, magnets, I assume. I've gone through the physics courses, scrapped through intro to electrical engineering, and I still don't get magnets. So we'll just go with those.
I just woke up with my phone on this. My assumption is that remembering that optimal packing thing just caused me to pass out, presumably to protect myself.
I feel like it may be more visually poetic - standing there, as a breeze blows dust past you, a dollar bill flies into your hand, somehow inexplicably preserved. Any archeological record of paper currency is long gone, so even if there was a human civilization, this strangely ornamented picture of a man's head with various shapes around it would be alien.
Clearly the better choice. (Edit: vs. $5m in a year, not paper vs. a server.)

Stuck on a NEMA 5-15 outlet, can't draw much more continuously. I think like 1200W is the highest continuous load you're allowed on a 15 A circuit here in the US, but I am not an electrician so I could be wrong
