> Figure 2-1. 100-kV Reference Voltage
It said high-voltage reference on the tin. I expected high-voltage, just not 100kV.

PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:

Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.

In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.

I started programming in the 1980s. Although I didn't start getting heavily into it until the 1990s. Just to give you a hint at where my perspective is coming from.

I noticed something similar to what you are noticing with programmers using LLMs to help them code. But, I saw it with programmers using Stack Overflow to help them code.
