The fact that a capacitor is marked with a 1000V label does not necessarily mean that 1000V are present on its terminal (but you should use caution). I don't think the voltage makes it out of the realm of electronics.
It's quite hard to answer your question, as the board is quite dirty and you provided a single picture. You could check for continuity and capacitance value with a multimeter
Turns out that this is common in Japan for tea fields. They mount big fans on poles all accross the field for it (you provably have to zoom in to see them)
I feel very out of the loop here. Can someone please explain what is going on? There's always been some mockery online about some of Gnome's stance (minimalism, app indicator) which is annoying, but does not seem too bad. But full blown targetted harassment? Why on earth would someone target them specifically?
For edits whithin a page, I use inkscape. Both program combined have covered all my needs until now.
I don't know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don't use very often, I hope I recall correctly)
It was always under my nose, but I never realised it was there. Thanks for the tip!
I did not know about this mounting method. Probably it's a way to improve passive cooling capabilities?
Thank you for the pics and explanations! Seeing such big power transformer in a wooden box terrifies me, probably more than it should.
For the ADC, I'm not too sure what you could use. The easy way would be to use ZMPT101B, and live with the fact that you would be using 1% of its range (you would need to check its resolution). Maybe you could also try to rectify it using an ideal diode IC.
