Re: Having a lot of problems with this "upgraded" groups.io user interface
A few random comments.
I too hate the "newer is better by definition" attitude. I hate that in
spades with some modern "flat GUIs", since you have to randomly click until
you stumble across a

Oh my.
You are using Windows XP, online?
How did you even find a browser that is compatible with modern SSL/TLS requirements?

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
Perhaps it has been mentioned in this thread and I missed it. Our local Walmart (upstate NY) add short pieces of stiff, apparently steel, wire (I'd guess around 18AWG) to the bottom of each shopping

I heard a very good explanation of why someone changes a perfectly fine product into something unnecessarily annoying to re-learn and then call it “new and improved.” The reason is the same reason

Thunderbird just did an 'upgrade' to their email UI layout. It looks worse,
and with low vision it is more difficult to use.

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
The ESD is a narrow pulse, so it is dim. A small capacitor across the LED
might help. You can also use a string of regular diodes to clamp the
pulse's voltage. They have to total more than the forward

I tend to agree, although I haven't catalogued all the things that are worse now, after the re-write.
As a retired engineer who has written a lot of code, including HDLs, I have never liked

Type your reply in Notepad or Wordpad as plain text, then copy and paste it.
Are you zoomed in on the website? Some web pages only work properly at 100*

That is an entirely possible, as WinXP is pretty Jurassic nowadays. I am always running one version late - now that Win11 is out I am still running Win10.

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
I wrote a nice story earlier about experiments with LEDs as ESD indicators, but it disappeared, so here's a short summary, then I'm done.
The LED survived many HBM discharges at 27 kV, the highest I

I don't know if it's just me, but to me, the user interface sucks now. I just lost another long message I was trying to post - it just disappeared when I hit SEND. The navigation doesn't work right,

I use a regular hacksaw.
If the cut turns out to be irregular, it is easy to straighten it with a file.

A shopping cart that accumulates a static charge fits the Charged Device
Model (CDM). It doesn't really matter which direction or polarity the
charge represents from a perspective of being shocked.

Re: Zero cost electrolytic can adapter
Depends upon the manufacturer. I’ve seen both.
Phenolic is also suitable since it is usually strengthened by application of a mesh to both sides of the material.

I would suspect their choice of floor wax and the material the cart's
