OK, I’m a twat who cannot remember or type 775…. meh

That like the 423 AMD? 😉

Under-engineering at its finest.

What this means is unless the design is extrordinarily crappy, it’ll still put the same voltage in the output capacitor regardless of whether the input is 110v, 220v or even 110v DC.

I already have problems throwing away my one half bottle of expired cooking oil or fat.
Can´t simply poor it down the drain as it might REALLY start clogging up the pipe system for the WHOLE house.

Leaves only dumping it in a left over pickled veggy jar, which could get a bit suspicious when one has a whole damn aquarium full with that stuff. 😉

As for the DIY-computing, yeah. I agree it´s the only real way of actually understanding that shit.
Beats any goddamn Microshit certifiacted rote-learning Zombie by a mile.

My wimminz colleague took it upon herself to set up the ethernet hub (which required a power supply) and plug in our computers. She flipped the power on. “The hub isn’t working. What the fuck?” I asked if she used a step down transformer for the hub. “No we don’t need to, look our computers are working fine.” I pointed out that our computers have AC to DC converters with 50-60Hz, 100-220V inputs accepted. “So? What’s your point?” She was a Physics major graduate, by the way.

But there’s always a higher voltage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux_compression_generator
