Thanks Jacques. So creepage is when current flows/arcs across the surface of an insulator, vs through the air. And it's worse with DC due to its unidirectional nature. Worsens when pollution builds up, or the surface degrades.

> DC will creep much easier than AC Can you say more about "creep"? Is the resistance changing? Or is material actually migrating? Also curious why it's worse using DC.

Yes, it seems like UI designers only solve the basic use case: beginner user with 3 apps open on a 14" laptop, each full screen, or tiled side-by-side. I imagine them presenting their design on a static PowerPoint slide, and upper-mana

Surprised me too. In the end, I guess it's a time-saving tool for a tedious task. But reduces the old-school grittiness of the adventure. Still an enjoyable read.

Tempting. I wonder what material they used for the platter. I once took apart a 1.8" drive, and got a big surprise when the platter suddenly shattered. I was expecting aluminum, not glass/ceramic substrate.

Cool! I found the old drive that worked with my Canon camera. It's a Hitachi 2GB Microdrive from 2003. It says CF+ Type-II. So larger, with a CompactFlash interface, boring in comparison. More history: https://en.wikipedia.o

Doesn't Starlink have some annual upkeep costs? Maybe $1-2 billion per year to replace aging satellites?
