The USB-C PD charger bricks just have a single USB-C slot. You can use the provided cable or get your own longer/shorter/braided version. There are also third party USB adapters that mimic magsafe functionality, albeit not as amaz

As a Minnesotan, I'm not that worried. The festival held at the sand quarry in question was able to renew it's lease for the venue for at least the next couple years. I also don't doubt their ability to find another suitable

I think this is a really worthwhile question. Is there some inherent flaw with the randomness of the older style bingo ball machines? Surely the upkeep and maintenance of a few ball tumbling machines is far cheaper than software developers

Two deployed airbags in a moderate (but not life threatening) crash likely cost $1000 each to replace, in addition to whatever other damage has been done to the vehicle.

#1 feeds into #3-- How confident are your rank and file going to be when the "training" guns fail regularly. Also there is something to be said for training with the exact same weapon you plan to use in the field.

Adding any kind of electronic firing control mechanism to a service pistol is a non-starter for a bunch of reasons: MTBF: Even small guns produce recoil, which over time will damage or degrade any electronics built into the firing mechanism

I didn't have a specific miner in thought while commenting, but in this instance it could be 1) a miner that does not use any bitmain equipment 2) a miner that uses bitmain equipment but has otherwise preemptively mitigated this attack
