NurPhoto / Gettyimages Extension cords are generally a safe solution for running power to electronics that are too far from the nearest wall outlet. But the operative word here is "electronics," which is not as all-encompassing as some people might think.

The drone footage reveals a virtual sea of solar panels and access

Every time I see “mAh” on a consumer product, I cringe. Megahertz are starting to bruise, too.
