That type of LCR meter is not very precise to begin with, it's probably the inaccuracies of both the caps and the meter working with each other to make it look worse than it actually is...

Give a hacker a spec, and he will abuse and misuse it but ultimately keep it working. Give the industry a spec and they will ignore it and make the wrong implementation standard instead.

I still don't understand why we decided that using the m.2 E key for wifi cards was a good idea. It's all PCI-E anyways, just give me more M keys for SSDs if I don't want your wifi!

Your home appliance lied to you. Oh "12V 1A ⎓” is written on your router? Well open it up, look inside. It's just a DC-DC converter stepping it down to 3.3V anyways and it's not even rated for 12W so it can't even be 1A of that. If you feed it 5V from USB it works just as well.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! fightchatcontrol.eu

Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

To clarify I’m not a fan of gen AI and its copyright and ethics issues. But complaining about its power usage is shortsighted when streaming, gaming, and everything else online consumes tons of power without the same scrutiny. Focusing on real issues like copyright and misuse is more productive imo.
