What is a COB Light?
I keep seeing that word "COB" used for LED flashlights lately.
What do they mean by using the word "COB"? (I remember when COB was part of an ear of corn, and none of them lit up) |

(I remember when COB was part of an ear of corn, and none of them lit up) Google returns Circuit On Board. You know how to use it? It is an acronym for "Chip on Board" Here is an explanation "Relatively new to the LED market, chip on board (COB) LEDs offer many advantages over the standard options. COB LEDs are basically multiple LED chips (typically nine or more) bonded directly to a substrate by the manufacturer to form a single module. Since the individual LEDs used in a COB are chips and not traditionally packaged, the chips can be mounted such that they take up less space and the highest potential of the LED chips can be obtained. When the COB LED package is energized, it appears more like a lighting panel than multiple individual lights as would be the case when using several SMD LEDs mounted closely together." This will give you even more information. https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/...board-cob-leds |

Hows about googling "helpful" "tolerant" "considerate" "courteous"... Sometimes I wish the web did not even exist. The newsgroups were the original internet. Back then, people discussed things without referring to web pages. Not only do I still prefer the newsgroups, but ever since they implemented HTTPS (secure sites), I can not access most websites. It's a long and rather complicated process involved, which I dont care to discuss in detail. I will only say that due to my location, I have very limited access to the internet. The newsgroups work, email works, but the web is extremely limited. Something to the order of 1 out of 30 websites actually load properly. And google does not work at all anymore, nor does Bing. (Yahoo search still works though). In the end, not everyone online is able to use all the high tech gadgets, and high speed internet that they keep forcing upon us, whether we want it or not. 15 years ago, websites were just text and pictures and they were useful. Now we have scripts, and huge executible files and megs of security to protect us from all them scripts and executibles, and worthless bloat, so the actual content is lost in all the garbage. These days, to obtain 1K of useful content requires 5 megs of downloading before the page can load. I do my best to avoid the web anymore, because it's very frustrating and a huge waste of time. |

I thought that I was quite late going from dial-up to high-speed - about 12 years ago - dial-up was becoming futile back then ! And because my first high speed was cellular - very expensive ! - I still needed to carefully watch my usage. One thing that helped greatly - I bought a used laptop and made use of the high speed at the library and coffee shops. - once or twice a week. I would save links and email a list to myself - used a "download helper" to save humourous and music Utube videos and other stuff like big pdf instruction manuals etc. I didn't think that google was ever slow - but all the top hits that the searches returned would be fancy paid-for sites - so I learned to scroll down and look for edu or wiki or less commercial hits.

I haven't tried AltaVista in a long time, but that used to be my go-to. a quick google search for the wiki info : AltaVista was a Web search engine established in 1995. It became one of the most-used early search engines, but lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, which retained the brand, but based all AltaVista searches on its own search engine. On July 8, 2013, the service was shut down by Yahoo! and since then, the domain has redirected to Yahoo!'s own search site.[2] |
