It helps ensure that levels between 2.5v and 5.5v can be fed to the controller without breaking anything. For some cheaper power supplies you might get a voltage drop when starting to pull load, this will clean that up and prevent the voltage from dropping too low for the microcontroller.
If I’m reading the correct datasheet I can see it is current limiting so it should shutdown when overdrawn.
If I’m reading the part number right that regulator is rated for a current limit of 400mA At 5v that’s 2 watts.
IDK I remember a lot of fires

This is dumb.
I love it.
I ran sid for 6 years without issue. You might like it :)

Same. I tend to block all the local communities. Like tbh I don’t really care what’s happening in like Boston
The FreeBSD handbook was my first introduction into the world of *nix. Still an incredible resource even if haven’t used bsd for a few years.
I think someone else mentioned this but just run vimtutor in your command line for a pretty exhaustive tutorial.
Did you read the explainxkcd link?
