From the classes I had that used these sorts of things, "stick a 9v battery connector into the screw terminal" was easier (and somewhat more portable) than a clean 5v supply, at least in a normal classroom without an overhead ring of multiple outlets over every seat. (My college's electronics lab had that)
The "9VAC" marking is also somewhat misleading: that rectifier also works for DC input of sufficient voltage (~8-12v should work fine) while also providing "automatic polarity" so you don't need to care about which way the battery is connected. aka "kids can't blow it up by plugging the battery in backwards" which from 'incidents' in my classes is "a rather critical feature" depending on the age and experience of the students.
If I had to guess it's to enable the circuit to be powered from a typical "wall wart" style AC or DC power supply. The reason for 9 volts instead of 5 is to supply the linear voltage regulator IC which will in turn provide the stable 5vdc output.
You could skip most of the front end if you were already using a CV source like USB or a bench power supply.

I remember Trump just last week saying something in the lines that he can't push Putin now, because he helps him facilitate that nuclear peace deal with Iran.

A hallmark of iOS 26 design seems to be the consolidation of what was previously multiple toolbar buttons into a "…" button that shows a menu.
Which looks fine, I guess, but some VERY common actions are now an additional tap away!
Safari is the worst offender. Want to switch tabs or close the current tab? The all-tabs view, previously the two-squares toolbar icon, is now buried in a menu, adding an extra tap and significant finger movement to possibly the most common action in Safari:
Another example is in Mail, where I'll often train my email provider's spam filter by moving spam into the Junk folder from the Inbox screen.
Before, it was Select, tap message, Move. Three taps.
Now it's four: "…" menu, THEN move finger down to Select, tap message, tap (now-unlabeled) Move icon at the bottom.
Why? What are we using all of that navigation-bar space for?
My "content”?
Comparing iOS 18's Mail to iOS 26's design, what did we gain for our "content” by burying more of its functionality behind a menu?
