I got an AC powered unit off Amazon a couple of years ago. How can I tell if it’s fake? Jewelry comes out bangin’, but I’ve wondered it if should work even better.

Wife got this stuff last week and it seemed to make a dramatic difference.

OTOH, I can’t see this thing having a legit transducer. Anyway to tell without tearing it down? Guess that’s easy enough if I really care.

Should I try something rusty? Should a “real” one work for that? Also, it gets the water pretty hot. Is that an indicator?

I consider The Register to be the gold standard in tech journalism. When asked how I keep up with evolving tech, I told the interview panel that any tech news they see on mainstream media was likely broken by The Register 3 days previous, with original sources and quotes from top corporate officers.

Also told them I had followed several tech subs on reddit in the past, but as the site has devolved into bots talking to one another, I’ve turned to lemmy for tech community interaction and advice.

(No, I’m not using lemmy for that so much, but if I land the network admin job I will!)

When I was dating, I laughingly told a girl I was “kinda redneck”.

“Uh, exactly how redneck?”

“I loathe Trump and don’t start me on January 6th. If that’s what you’re asking.”

“Whew. Just checking.”
