If those restrictions are so good for children, wouldn't it be in your interest to enforce them - even when other parents do not? Or are you worried about your kids getting an unfair advantage over unrestricted ones?

There is no such thing as "the utility" in Europe. It is legally not allowed for a single company to both operate (parts of) the grid and trade in electricity.

It is less of a problem if the output is explicitly marked as AI-generated and unverified, so people can treat it as a rough first draft. But mix AI output with well-vetted human-reviewed data, and you've basically made your entire d

The problem is that PCB design is hard . Writing a "cost function" for placement is basically impossible when later design steps are going to introduce hard constraints, and earlier design steps are actually extremely flexible. F

If you can do less for the same price, that is in effect a price increase.

It's not impossible, it is just highly unlikely that you'll never write a single safety-related bug - especially in nontrivial applications and in mixed C-plus-Rust codebases. For every single bug-free codebase there will be tho

It's a never-ending cat-and-mouse game, and unsupported hacks like these usually aren't well-received in corporate environments. Decent stop-gap for home use, though!

I bet you can. But you can't turn a simple single linear amplifier into a PID controller with zero physical changes, can you? My point was that, if you want additional behavior, you need to bake that in from the start. With an MCU you

Analog control circuitry is also really hard to patch in production, or to adjust to different behavior during design. Oh, you need a quadratic fan curve instead of a linear one? Have fun starting from scratch!

That's what happens when consumer demand rapidly shifts, and businesses start panic-buying and panic-cancelling. As far as I recall, actual chip fab output didn't really change that much.

It is public knowledge that the critical equipment has "kill switches". I wouldn't be surprised if there was enough damage that building a new fab from scratch is easier.

Windows 11 requiring a TPM is still going to force a decent number of replacements: extended support on W10 is $61 Y1, $122 Y2, $244 Y3. Delaying that refresh might actually end up the more expensive option.

You just answered your own question. There's also the issue of phones occasionally getting broken, of course.
