it is so good to have that childlike sense of wonder and curiosity about the world and how things work back 🥰
spent a day or so poking at my new phone with its recommended charger and discovered whole universes of fascinating engineering behind USB PD with AVS and the downstream implications of being able to shift the adjustable voltage conversion off the device to prevent like 5w of heat from getting dumped into a thermal management system, leaving more headroom to cool the SoC and battery

another example is that from taking apart my vacuum cleaner for servicing a couple of weeks ago, I learned how cyclones worked this has immediately come in useful when looking at dust collection for wood sanding since it's literally the same problem scaled up and meant I can combine a more reasonable vacuum (including my household one using an adapter) with a bucket and a printed cyclone :D
