 @whbboyd @lcamtuf @otte_homan @bluestarultor Well they can't, that's why they melted into a lump capable of passing a lot of current but no longer capable of saying That's Enough Current Thanks |
@ifixcoinops @lcamtuf @otte_homan @bluestarultor The surprising thing to me is that the internal current carriers can handle enough power to heat a soldering iron tip orange-hot without instantly dissociating into smoke. Usually these things are made out of gossamer and fairy wings (cheap, factory-farmed fairies, obviously) and have a safety margin of -10% or so.
