  Sockets in light fittings were actually used before we got them on the walls!

  I used to live in staff accommodation in a hotel. They would turn off the power sockets at 10PM every night to prevent gatherings/parties, so we hooked up an extension to the light socket. That socket adapter would have been very handy. 😆

  The oscilloscope can do 46Mhz in High speed mode! By default its in normal mode for battery longevity, that's why you only get 35Mhz

  I love this series because I constantly stare at some weird electronic find on AliExpress contemplating life decisions.

  Some time ago I had my gas water heater replaced, and in the toolbox of one of the workers, was a homemade bulb to socket adapter, made from soviet-era parts. When I asked him about it, he explained that he also does roof and attic repairs, and in my area, It's uncommon to have sockets in attic, but we usually have lights so he used it for some low power stuff

  At the beginning of electrification, homes often only had electric lighting, but over time various electrical devices began to appear, such as radios, record players, irons, and vacuum cleaners, so out of need, splitters appeared that allowed for connecting not only a light bulb but also, for example, 2 other devices.

  Socket adapters are very useful when you have work to do in unknown place, where you often have trouble to get access to wall sockets, but light fixtures are on the outside.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=netFl8pcwP8&amp;t=295">4:55</a> this is very cool. I am pretty sure that there is an FPGA in there

  You &nbsp;could get a YR1030 / 1035 - Its meant for measuring the internal resistance of Batteries and can go down to 0.01 mOhm but its perfectly fine for measuring any resistance ofc.
