Sorry, my original comment was poorly written. While they do lead to earth, there is a mosfet in between each that receives a unique PWM signal. See the edit for more details.
By soldering the ends of the LED, do you mean the 4 earth connections? I should probably have clarified that the 4 "earth" connections only lead to earth when the mosfets connected to the LED is open. Each connection leading to earth is for either, R, G, B or W so they can't be soldered together.
I haven't noticed any difference in brightness between the first and last LED. Since the power is sent via PWM controlled mosfets, splitting the power wouldn't work all that well since it inevitably have to connect the box (with the connectors) with the PWM circuitry.
I don't know how aging affects the LED power draw, according to the manufacturer I shouldn't expect more than 7.5A. When measuring peak power output, I get only get ~6A total though.
4 pins are for earth with each (measured) having ~1.5A going through them at peak brightness. The fifth pin must bear the total load of the four other pins.
Having 5 pins is of course not a strict requirement, it's just the LED strip that has 5 connections.
Edit: I should have clarified that the 4 pins "leading to earth" are connected to mosfets controlled by PWM signals, so they aren't directly connected to earth. Each of the 4 pins carries a unique amount of current. Their total current is flowing through the fifth pin. Sorry for missing out on that detail in the original statement.
A few meters LED strips.
According to the spec sheet only 7.5A should be necessary with a recommended 25% margin for a total 9.4A for the power supply. I rounded up to 10 for simplicity, and that's the spec of the power supply I have.
Measuring max current at peak brightness is only at ~6A though, so 10A isn't strictly necessary.
IP rating isn't necessary, it should all fit into a small box with some circuitry for PWM signaling used inside a normal room.
What would replace it in actual terms is not clear, however, apart from one thing: Fifa would probably lose its overall authority over the transfer market, with collective bargaining involving clubs and players becoming the norm, as it already is in other sports.
Anyone that could elaborate on what they mean by this? How does it work for other sports?
It's fine, just nipping it in the bud before it gets too much.

It's 3 goals for Tottenham, but the tweet happened during the game.
I wonder how long Manchester United will be in this pit, it never gets better it seems.
Never rely on modern Manchester United
