The service I worked for in AWS faced this as a routine pain. No matter what the TTL, stuff completely ignored it. In the end the only sensible thing we could do was accept that we were going to impact customers and that we just can'

There's power efficiency reasons to prefer a more modern CPU. It's not that you need the speed, at all. It's the nanometer / process size. The more tightly packed the transitors are, the shorter distance electrons hav

So expensive watch, with previous generation SoC that is older and worse than competitors, at a price point nearly $100 more than said competitors. Here we go again... This seems like a product explicitly designed to fail.

This situation just seems so absurd from the McDonald's side of things. Why were they ever tolerating such nonsense from their hardware vendors in the first place. It fundamentally harms their brand.
