I have worked in many noisy environments where the feeble squeak from a Fluke (or other DMM) would not be heard unless it was strapped to my ear instead of the ear-plugs that would need to be worn there. Having a big flashy display would be handy in those cases. So maybe not a whole lot safer, but definitely useful and convenient which could translate into a bit safer in some cases.

They won't lose their market share regardless of what they sell, provided that they still offer their warranty, support and don't deprecate the products in the following 30 years.

At first, this post looked like an AI-generated to me, but then, it is so out of context that I'm unsure.

The "How to test lithium battery with multimeter? An Ultimate Guide" page contains
--- Quote ---Once you have prepared the battery for testing, you can connect the multimeter to the battery. Then you have to do this:
Turn off the multimeter and set it to measure voltage (V).
Connect the negative (-) lead of the multimeter to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the multimeter to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Turn on the multimeter and set it to measure voltage (V). [tggzzz: you need to set voltage before connecting, to avoid the accidentally setting it to current]
Set the Multimeter Readings for Lithium Batteries
When testing a lithium battery with a multimeter, you must set the readings accordingly. For most lithium batteries, the following settings should be used:
Voltage (V): 12.8V – 13.2V
Current (A): 0.1A – 5A
Resistance (Ω): 0Ω to infinity
[tggzzz: all bollocks, of course]
