There are mini clip-on current sensors. For measuring potential you still need to either also know resistance, or probe the points between which you want to measure it. You could measure differential current, and then if you used that measurement to break a circuit, you'd have a GF[C]I.

The reality is Apple very much positioned their product line as fashion items,

Having an Apple product hasn't been a "status' symbol of any sort for decades now....

They're just commodity products, nice ones....but commodity products and no one buys them or sees them as a fashion or status symbol purchase...

That's been a thing of the past for quite awhile now...

if you get the roof replaced, get in-roof solar that replaces the tiles with panels,

Maybe we're using different words/meanings....but if we both consider a tile a "tile"...then in the US, most house roofs are NOT done with tiles....in fact I'd only seen roof tiles on old houses when I moved to New Orleans....it isn't common to see roofs with tiles.

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the US.....when I think "tile" I'm thinking like terra cotta, or the like and that's not common. You used to see wood shingles too back in the day, but not so much anymore.

So, not sure if a solar 'tile' replacement type thing is really offered here in the US (it may be)....but if it is, I'm guessing it would be sky high in price for materials and then add on specialized labor would be $$$$.

State driver's licenses exist, at least today and for decades (as long as I can remember is itself, alas, a significant number of those now — but longer than that) alongside state ID cards which resemble them and perform the same function.

SSNs were never intended to be used for anything else, and should not have been. But here we are with allegedly non-social credit scores.

How about buy a non-Google phone if you don't like it.

Typical anti-consumer, corporation-fellating clown shit from the usual source. We get it, anything the corporations do is great and we should all look up to them. If we were righteous, we would be as successful as they are!

This is why antitrust law exists and applies to more than monopolies.
