Three Letter Acronyms

I've seen questions posted asking what certain acronyms mean and I'm not aware of a good answer on this forum...

CdS
Cadmium Sulfide, a reference to the first battery-powered photosensor which could read lower light levels than were possible with Selenium cell meters....

I recommend an alternate meaning:

CdS

Cyberdyne Systems, fictional robotics manufacturer and, alternately, a moderator and occasional poster to POTN.

I note you didn't complain about FUBAR being non-photographic. Does that say something about your photography skills?

You are correct

I think that one belongs on the Noink forum.

I remember a few years back, I was on night shift and not a lot was happening so we started reading through some of the manuals that IBM used to send out with mainframes, ok it was more than a few years back. Anyway we came across this TLA, it was AMD so we checked the glossary and it read

AMD - Air Movement Device, see FAN

so there you have it, a TLA for a three letter word!

That's hilarious! I'm just surprised it wasn't a government manual that did that. Wait, then it might have been, EMRGPT - Electro Mechanical Rotating Gaseous Pressure Transducing Device.
