When the supercold storm blasts through your town, your device will freeze. And I'll still be able to read the pages of my Universalis as I tear them to burn them for heat.
You're gonna start unplugging your Tesla's internal power connections to put your meter in series to measure current? That's the only way you're going to melt it, and I don't think you're going to find many crazy owners to try that.
Barring this, you'll be measuring voltages at various points with high impedance, or currents via field/hall effect, and the price of your meter doesn't matter for your safety, only for the precision (unless your probes are really nasty).
I'm not exactly out of my depth, therefore it's not "clear" that I am, don't be aggressive.
Since power plants are totally overspecced for the nighttime consumption, you can rest assured that this electricity, which would have been wasted, is happily helping line the coffers of your local utility.
If she's "company-provided" for eloping, the local pimp may want to break your boss's legs. it's hard out here for a pimp, when even companies intrude on their turf... he needs money for the rent.
I fully expect some insurers to only insure people who accept to be tracked. Their prices will be lower, because they'll be able to avoid paying more often (more careful drivers and/or arguments that you exceeded the limit by 2mph). Other companies respecting your privacy will likely have to raise premiums to offset this, lose customers, and up adopting it also to stay in business.
5 years from now (if that long), it will be near-impossible to insure a car without being tracked 24/7. I fully expect politicians to find it normal.
What a nice utopia we're building for our children...
GREEN power from DRONES will get you financing. Not sure why they didn't insist these will be BEYOND THE CLOUD! That'd be the orgasmic trifecta of current VCs...

But that tiny fraction of the American public will endlessly rant about their range issue (whether or not they would ever buy an EV whose spec fits their needs). And while local manufacturers will obsess about getting more range, the other car manufacturers will rake in the money when their cheaper solutions take over the rest of the world.
I present as evidence the number pulled out of my ass that over 90% of non-American car commutes are under 40km a day (because gas has been expensive for years, public transport offsets that, and sprawl is more limited). And these cars are typically not SUVs, because parking spaces are also at a premium in non-US cities.
So, keep obsessively trying to solve the problems of maybe 50% of 5% of the world. Sure, they have more money, but how's that been working for Detroit?
It's the 12th most populated country in the world! Essentially 100M people. The density is huge because the islands are not, but for power, what matters is the millions who live there!
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa (7th overall), and Pakistan would feel huge if its neighbors weren't so over-the-top (6th overall). Choose your comparison points a bit better... This ain't no "Medium size" country for this topic.
"assistant general manager for operations, said the system's backup computer had gone down at the same time its central supervisory computer crashed." Redundancy is not just running two boxes... How many times do we need to point out that there's a reason true redundancy is hard and expensive?
TFA (sorry for reading it) states that the problem showed up 12 hours after the upgrade. That's why it's time-consuming to test hi-rel stuff, whatever bean counters say...
"Massive country is deriving 10% of their electricity from geothermal" Because if you ask random people, they may have heard of Iceland doing geothermal, and think it only works well there.

Because in many cases the journalists have abided by the administrations' requests to censor some of the details.
If you do a bulk release, you're probably putting someone's life/livelihood in danger. Not everyone who is involved is evil.

There's that concept called "high impedance" you should probably be looking into.

After all the Tesla stories, finally one about potential car implosions!

Well, since we let our electronics teach our children, we might as well let the electronics teach the limits too.
This way the kids will be used to it, when it's the state's turn to provide them with ankle toys...
My boss tracking where I go with company-provided assets makes sense.
Everybody's every move being tracked in the name of lower premiums or children safety is downright scary.
But only in a way that puts us on top, because we had to evolve to become "in his image".
Or something...

I wouldn't recognize him as the king, for he'd be covered in shit. Expensive one.

Some of my French friend might not mind the idea of sharp 20m x 20m solar panels occasionally plummeting on the Brits.
Where can you find a good EMP device these days?
Is it worse than some lass throwing a sword at you from the nearest pond?
Or getting said sword out of a block of stone?
Thank you for using the word "they"

I believe if your machines can put down a single-atom zinc layer, Running them under pure nitrogen is a tiny cost increment.
