Crunch the glass with pliers and desolder the ends separately.

DSL usually goes out as well when power is gone in your area. The boxes
on the street corners are usually not on any sort of UPS scheme. But
telco continues because it is safety-critical. However, you have to
write down several dial-in numbers because chances are that one of them
is also suffering an outage and I don't think they'll have the modems on
backup power.

I was fantasizing that Jan might actually want a fuse with a known
interrupt current rating in his crappy meter, at which point it makes
more sense to use an actual new glass fuse.

Probably just lipstick on a pig, but WCYD?

That quickly gets old when it's a fat layout that you have to revise and
then return the marked up layout back to the client ;-)

I guess you can theoretically do that on an iPhone if it had a Gerber
editor but you'd need carpal tunnel surgery soon.

You'd also need a bottle of Windex, or ban that engineer's food you
posted a picture of recently :-)

I think they make that for whiteboards but not 10MPixel.
