I think you need to check your maths.
There is not too much difference in the dimensions of A0 vs A0+ however A0+ appears to be more than 10 times larger in NanoWales that A0.

Re: overkill
My laptop upgraded to Win 11 24H2, instant black screen of death with only cursor movement and task manager. Managed to restore it. A month later it upgraded itself again, exactly the same black screen problem, however this time there was no longer a restore point to go back to. After wasting a couple of days trying every solution I could find I had no option but to go for a complete reinstall.
After the reinstall I imediately upgraded the graphics drivers - the most likely reason for the failureof the upgrade - and then forced the 24H2 upgrade to ensure it would keep working before starting to reinstall all the apps I need, It is definately a bad one.

Re: Just the other day
Regarding powertools, I once chucked a nearly new dewalt 4Ah battery in the council tip recycling bin because it would not recharge. When it happened to a second battery a month later I did a bit of searching online and found that stripping a bit of twin and earth and using one wire to link the negative terminals of the dead battery and a good battery and then using a second wire to link the positive terminals for just 10 seconds would charge the dead battery enough for it to charge properly in the dewalt charger. I'm still kicking myself for recycling a perfetly good 4Ah battery.

Re: Sending a child to do an adults work
Regarding Indian wiring, a few years ago a colleague of mine was working in India. He had a load of equipment he needed to power up outdoors. The local hire company offered him the choice of distribution racks with either 15amp or 16amp outlets. The 15amp version being the old UK standard domestic round pin plug, the 16amp version being the industrial water resistant free-form type.
Obviously he specified the 16amp version as better protection in case of rain. He was less than impressed when it was all wired up as they had used bare cables with the stripped ends poked into the holes in the sockets and held in place with broken twigs.
So you really didn't touch the settings at all, huh? Well, this print-out from my secret backup says otherwise

Re: Passport Renewal
If Brexit happens I will be unemployable. My next contract starts on 14th October and involves me working in 16 EU countries over a 6 week period. Quite often I will wake up on a sleeper bus, having crossed a border while asleep, walk into the building where the bus is parked up, work for 18 hours (self-employed so working time directives do not apply) and then get back on the bus and do the same again the next day in a different country. The thought of trying to get work visas for that is frightening. the costs will be prohibitive and I will be replaced by a European.

Re: Not all serial cables are made equal...
I have posted previously about this. In my case it was under the stage at Glastonbury Festival while Slash's Snakepit were playing. Off went the UPS, the lighting control network and the intercom powersupply. Behind the rack with the band playing above my head I had no idea all the lights had gone off and the operator out front was screaming into a dead comms headset.....

Odd metal posts
Our house used to belong to a lovely old Physical Archeology Professor - one of the instigators of ground resistance surveying - he left us the most wonderful garden which had been his pride and joy. I was intrigued by a lot of pale metallic green coloured posts used as plant supports and netting supports in various parts of the garden, probably about a dozen or so. An old University friend who had actually been a student under the Professor and had been to the house (the University buried pigs in the garden with items of clothing and students of forensic archeology would come and dig them up every few years to study how the clothing had been affected to help date bodies found on the moors) anyway, he was able to tell me that the posts were no-longer needed titanium nuclear fuel rod test samples donated to the Professor by the Head of Physics.
