> The expected size increase required to have the same effectiveness without that advantage is the multiplication factor. For example, if a certain technology like GPS enables a force to accomplish the same results of a force five times as large but without GPS, then the multiplier is five.
I am asking about concepts or tools that hackers have in their back pockets which 5x or 10x or 1000x their effectiveness in life or work.
This is more specific than something useful that most people don't know, though it does fall under that umbrella.
For example, "how to take apart your laptop to clean the fan and replace thermal paste" is something useful that most people don't know, but that knowledge is not much of a force multiplier.
