I really want someone to chime in with the legal ramifications of ABC being a publicly broadcast station that licenses radio spectrum from the federal government.

Corrupt or not, the feds revoking a license is a lot more plausible than them somehow pulling a private cable station or streaming service out of people’s homes.

/pedant the term would be “emigrating”

Coworker’s story: Trying to fix a prototype in a hotel room at a European trade show. Soldering iron on hand, but it was a 120V iron and glowed white hot when plugged into a 240V outlet.

So they had one person solder and the other person keep unplugging and replugging the iron from the wall at roughly 25% 50% duty cycle.
