# Things I Learned This Week

* [**Tethering (網路共享/行動熱點)**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering) is the process of sharing your mobile device’s internet connection with other devices via **Wi-Fi**, **USB**, or **Bluetooth**. **Wi-Fi tethering** turns your phone into a hotspot for multiple devices but consumes more battery; **USB tethering** offers a **fast and stable** one-to-one connection while charging your phone; **Bluetooth tethering** is slower but energy-efficient for light use.
* In **台積電（TSMC）**, [**AP7**](https://www.google.com/search?q=台積電+AP7) stands for **Administrative Pod 7**, indicating a specific office or admin building. **AP** buildings are used for administrative tasks like HR, meetings, and support functions. Other common TSMC codes include **FAB** (Fabrication plant for chip production), **BP** (Base Pod for utilities or support areas), and **RP** (Research Pod for R\&D). These codes help organize space across TSMC’s large campuses.
* 在台灣的 [**果菜市場**](https://www.google.com/search?q=果菜市場+大盤+中盤+小盤) 流通體系中，三大角色分別為：**大盤** 負責向農民或產地大量採購，並處理集運與配送；**中盤** 在批發市場向 **大盤** 或拍賣系統採購，再轉售給零售業者或餐廳；**小盤** 則向 **中盤** 採購小量商品，販售給一般消費者，或是用於自己經營的水果店、菜市場攤位。這三個層級經常同時出現在同一市場中：**大盤** 不一定每天親自到場，但會透過產地直送或委託拍賣，將大量蔬果送進市場拍賣，他們可能是供應者（上游角色），有時會到場觀察行情；**中盤** 是市場內主要的採購者與競標者，每天清晨參與拍賣，競標採購大盤提供的商品，再轉售給小盤或其他通路；**小盤** 則多在拍賣結束後進場。
* [**認生**](https://www.google.com/search?q=認生) 是指嬰幼兒在發展過程中，對**陌生人**產生抗拒或不安的自然反應，通常在**6～8 個月大**時開始出現，標誌著他們具備分辨熟悉照顧者與他人之間差異的能力。這是依附行為與安全感建立的重要表現，有助於嬰兒自我保護。認生現象不僅侷限於嬰兒，也可延伸用於形容動物或成人對陌生環境的警戒與拘謹。
* 肥皂箱原是用來裝肥皂的木箱，19 至 20 世紀初期常被街頭演說家當作臨時講台使用，因此衍生出「站上肥皂箱」這個比喻，意指公開發表意見或演講的場合。現代語境中，「肥皂箱」常被用來形容一種傳達強烈主張、宣傳理念的行為。此語也形成英文片語「get on one’s soapbox」，代表某人開始在公開場域熱情發言。
