    Any benefit of non-removable battery technology in personal gadgets?

    You don't have to buy it, but it is reality. You may have owned countless devices over the years but I am guessing you haven't designed or put into manufacturing any of those devices. The OP asked if there was any benefit for the consumer and I explained at least one. Yes, the manufacturers also...

    False alarms on CO detector

    Send it back to First Alert and tell them it was giving a false positive reading. If it is less than 5 years old they will likely just send you a new one.

Latches, hooks, and swivels all increase the tooling costs for...

    Recommend me a multi-meter please?

    I would agree that Fluke is generally the industry standard for EEs and techs--their 8X series is probably used by more professional labs than any other DMM. However, I would also suggest that most of the models Fluke sells will be way overkill (and more expensive) for most functions required by...

    Amps vs. Watts vs. Volts?

    In any generic electrical system, maximum power transmission occurs only when the source and the load are at matched impedances, not when the load is zero. It is an important but critical distinction because no source will have a zero internal resistance, even for low frequency systems.
