Right: Looks like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are off, right? Nope: They're just disconnected. The radios are still active, which poses both battery and security concerns.

There's something different aboutiOS 11-- and whether or not it's a good thing is up for debate.
Ever since its debut, way back in iOS 7, Control Center has included convenientBluetoothand Wi-Fi toggles. Tap one, the feature turns off. Tap again, it's back on.
In iOS 11, those same toggles are there, but they function differently: Instead of actually turning off the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios, they simply disconnect you from devices and networks. The radios stay on.
When will Apple fix this?
Apple isn't likely to issue a fix for this unless there's sufficient user outcry, but it isn't a bug; it's by design, according tothis Apple support document.
What's the purpose behind this new "feature"? As explained in that document, "In iOS 11 and later, when you toggle the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth buttons in Control Center, your device will immediately disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will continue to be available."
Why? So you can keep using "important" features and devices like AirDrop, AirPlay, theApple Penciland theApple Watch.
Here's where it gets really weird: If you deactivate Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi via Control Center, both will reactivate automatically starting at 5 a.m., or if you restart your device. And Wi-Fi reactivates if you walk or drive to a new location.
How to really turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

I suspect most folks toggle these radios off for security reasons (iPhones are susceptible to the recentBlueBorne malware attack) and/or to extend battery life. Unfortunately, Control Center no longer allows you to turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
To do that, you'll need to venture into Settings, just like in the days before Control Center.
For Bluetooth:Settings > Bluetooth > Off
For Wi-Fi:Settings > Wi-Fi > Off
What are your thoughts on this? Do you prefer the new way these buttons simply disconnect you, or do you want Apple to return this option to the way it was?

Type of capacitors CONTRIBUTORS: JIMB0 FAVORITE 42 SHARE Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Pin It Introduction A capacitor is a two-terminal, electrical component. Along with resistors and inductors, they are one of the most fundamental passive components we use. You would have to look very hard to find a circuit which didn’t have a capacitor in it. What makes capacitors special is their ability to store energy ; they’re like a fully charged electric battery. Caps , as we usually refer to them, have all sorts of critical applications in circuits. Common applications include local energy storage, voltage spike suppression, and complex signal filtering. Covered in this Tutorial In this tutorial, we’ll be examining all sorts of capacitor-related topics, including: How a capacitor is made How a capacitor works Units of capacitance Types of capacitors How to recognize capacitors How capacitance combines in series and parallel Common capac

The atmospheric attenuation of microwaves and far infrared radiation in dry air with a precipitable water vapor level of 0.001 mm. The downward spikes in the graph correspond to frequencies at which microwaves are absorbed more strongly. This graph includes a range of frequencies from 0 to 1 THz; the microwaves are the subset in the range between 0.3 and 300 gigahertz. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one meter to one millimeter; with frequencies between 300 MHz (100 cm) and 300 GHz (0.1 cm).
