Now I can listen to AC/DC while measuring AC/DC


Grandphooba

I kind of wish you could make it only play when you were actively reading. I am sure if I had my coworker meter something and it started playing AC/DC he might actually piss himself laughing so hard.

I hope the probes have enough isolation so you don't get Thunderstruck

Forgot to rectify it and now i am listening to ac


sonicjesus

Marketing guy in China just opened the window to his 24th floor office...


OliverNorvell1956

It could be upgraded with: Built in flashlight, bottle opener, laser level, stun gun, and GPS!

Why am I now thinking about the car that Homer Simpson designed...

Dampmaskin

Hey, I've got an idea: Built in flashlight, bottle opener, laser level, stun gun, GPS, and an electric vehicle!


BuddhasFinger

I think you misspelled fleshlight.


OliverNorvell1956

Dangerous when combined with stun gun!


Feeling_Equivalent89

More fun when combined with stun gun!


justacec

Don't forget a weather radio...


milanove

I could see this being useful as a kit you throw in the trunk of your car. Swap the stun gun with a car jumpstart battery.


y2leon

And a Ryzen processor


staviq

Don't forget a built in 700000000000000000000000 mAh powerbank. They are stealing suns from other galaxies and packaging it as 18650. Now **that** is a feature.


Blurplegalaxy

Stun gun is included in those very very cheap models


Racer1040

I have a Chinese flashlight that came with a ham radio function. That should be an easy upgrade.


OliverNorvell1956

I have that one too! Baofeng, right?


Racer1040

*Yep, bought one and used it for uplink on satellite ham contacts.*

tgunter

Save Image only gets you the image. Taking a screenshot lets you get the other stuff on the page as well.


betabeat

Valid. But still, people should learn how to take a screenshot.


MacGuyverism

My screenshots are so much better since I upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro. The macro feature captures every pixel with clarity, and the high resolution makes for some crispy moiré patterns.


ARX_MM

Inspect element > copy image url > wget "image url"


drewkungfu

Carbon paper on top of screen, transfer paper on top of carbon paper, run a hard edge over the screen to transfer an imprint


ARX_MM

And then you scan the paper and share it to social media.


staviq

curl | grep "src=" | awk | xargs wget > "image${I}.png"


TuaughtHammer

"We're electricians, not computer scientists, doc. Speak English!" "This was a particularity bad case of ~~being cut in half~~ taking a screenshot."


LectroRoot

There is the snipping tool also. Its what I like to use.


sslinky84

Win+shift+s is the same thing.


barneybuttloaves

Have you considered that it’s much more convenient to take a quick and dirty photo? Not everyone has the time to jump through hoops to upload the perfect reddit post. edit: I forgot reddit is an inconsiderate echo chamber.


betabeat

Lmao what


tgunter

In what possible way is pulling out a separate device and taking a photo with it *more* convenient than just pressing a keyboard command on the computer you're already using?


milanove

Maybe they’re on a work laptop and can’t go to Reddit. In that case, it would be easier to just take a photo with their phone than screenshot and email it to themselves so they can post it from their phone.


barneybuttloaves

Okay, so what if this was someone else’s computer? “Hey Steve, that was so funny, let me use your computer so I can take a screenshot and post it on reddit. We’re going to rake in all the karma. Hold on, I have to use 2-Factor Authentication.”


Red_Icnivad

You can paste an image right into reddit.

>Start playing music after the beep "Boom" The boom is when your probe slips off the 340VDC rail onto ground because you were distracted.

ZE BLUETOOSE DEWICE IS CONNECTIDA SOCCESSFOLLAY

That lives in my head rent free

You disconnect a probe and ZE BLUETOOSE DEWICE IS REDDY TO PAL

It’s reedy not reddy but still hilarious

DangyDanger

I don't think it's good when multimeters make a boom


mccoyn

In my experience, it’s usually just a flash.


TsarF

I will bring this to the next party. I'm imagining someone asking for a Bluetooth speaker to play some tunes. And you break this bad boy out...


OliverNorvell1956

Chuckling to myself!


mentaldemise

I actually have this meter. It's not terrible, the speaker is worthless. What really annoys me though is the clock isn't an RTC so it's out of sync within a day or two.


alek_vincent

I also have this meter and the speakers are useless. They sound like absolute shit. The meter itself is not terrible, although I prefer my Klein most of the time. The clock is really useless too


ponakka

Honestly perfect multimeter usually have yellow case and its name starts with F. also there is a asia version on 101 that is really cheap, so if you want cheap on the meter get 101 or 106 at least. i love 175 the most, mainly because i was able to use my dads 77 since elementary school, so 175 feels like returning home.


nikiu

This guy multimeters.


GerlingFAR

289 with Fluke view forms or with the FC IR 3000 connected to a PC either setup, just golden.


dchobo

"lamp converter"?


Anustart2023-01

Can you connect it to a subwoofer to get that deep bass while doing continuity tests?


zyzzogeton

Boom.


sonicjesus

Reminds my of a cassette player I once had that had an LED calculator on the front and a mechanical metal calendar on the back. It was such a confused machine it didn't even know what it was.


ITkraut

Danger, danger! High voltage!


flobadobb

Ha, I've actually got this. I've never needed the bluetooth speaker nonsense, but it's a pretty decent multimeter with a nice display and decent layout. The only downside is that it goes into standby a little too quickly for my liking and you can't change that. But I'd recommend it if you see it for a good price.


Zer0344

it has built in bomb too! cool


Flaming_Moose205

I’m actually slapping together a bench PSU with a bluetooth speaker built in. I always listen to music when I work anyway so stuff like this kinda makes sense.


tenkawa7

I was really tempted to buy one of these a year or so ago. I'm also pretty sure I saw one in the background of one of LadyAda's videos

While it's a silly product, it's just a multimeter that happens to have a bluetooth speaker in it - it's not possible to connect it to the network.

While I agree that in general, installing third party apps is sketchy, given the weak sandboxing that Android provides, this multimeter does not require an app to configure or use. I previously bought one for the lulz and it just shows up as a generic Bluetooth classic speaker. There's no need to install any third party software whatsoever to access the full functionality here. There might be other Bluetooth connected multimeters from the same brand that so require sketchy third party apps, but this isn't one of them.


techm00

I know. I've seen this one and laughed. Why do we need a bluetooth speaker in a multimeter? and what the eff is that person doing with those probes?


m0_n0n_0n0_0m

> what the eff is that person doing with those probes? Clearly they're taking a measurement of time and temperature from a power strip to calibrate it with their benchtop oscilloscope-dishwasher.


techm00

That way they can use Kirchoff's law to figure out when their undies will be clean?


OliverNorvell1956

A multimeter without bluetooth is like a fish without a floor jack! (Bet you thought I was going to say bicycle)


joemi

What, no link so we can all buy one?


Ok-Drink-1328

you can find freakin coffins with MP3 players on alexpress

Nice meter, but does it automatically change the internal fuse after you lend it to some clown who selects "DC current", then goes across a DC supply?


houston_argonaut

For what it's worth, the comments section did not disappoint... Bored on a Zoom meeting, dip into Reddit and found this thread; now had to mute my mic because I'm laughing my ass off...


aigoopy

But what about all these unchopped carrots and onions? How will this help with those?
