Might I suggest reading about the normal distribution?
Or, I don’t know, perhaps giving slightly greater consideration to the people in this thread who’ve actually worked on physical device engineering?
- eviks 2y agoThe level of consideration matches the level of argumentation, e.g., it's obvious you failed in your interpretative nitpicking on the word "mean" and think "reading about the normal distribution" means anything in this context.
- stouset 2y agoAppropriately for the topic, I tailored the level of consideration to just barely exceed that of your original argument. So, next to none.
- eviks 2y agoAre you replying to yourself? You were the one demanding consideration, not me!
- nickff 2y agoPlease design a physical product to reliably fail after a specific and precise amount of time (not usage, because that’s easier and not what you’re arguing), then come back and describe how easily you accomplished that feat. Everyone reading this thread who has worked in device design knows that your assertions are completely and utterly misguided.
- eviks 2y agoRight after you explain how in this imaginary world of 0 knowledge where you're not even capable of translating usage into time companies set a warranty to 3 years (>legal min) instead of 13; and why there are warranty limitations for heavy use. (and no, you don't need "reliably ... specific and precise", those are just artifical constraints you've added) And don't speak for everyone, not everyone is so clueless re. business decisions just because they've designed some hardware.
