Occam's razor would appear to suggest otherwise. US population is ~5x greater than the UK, while UK GDP per capita is less than the US. More generally, the per capita economic posture of the US is strong compared to the top 10 most pop

Most modern cars are also unibody, so the center console interior design element isn't entirely without merit. The axial bulge that would normally be concealed by a center console acts as structural support in vehicles without drivesha

In the US, a bullet's notional size and weight is perhaps more familiar than grams (or any metric unit, really). In any case, I sense there was a subtle pun in that its cost is liable to kill the financial livelihood of most.

To be sure, it's entirely feasible, just not prudent with today's typical disk capacities.

I don't follow your logic. What makes you think Samsung is applying consumer-grade smartphone design/cost-optimization hardware hacks to modules targeting a completely different market segment, let alone form factor?

Fun and a great learning experience, sure. But, at least with respect to infrared, I'm not seeing the cost effective part when fully integrated solutions with ~19x greater resolution and then some can be had for $400 retail; the BOM fo

It was a half-hearted remark in passing targeted towards the class of "hardware folks" who might care about the finer details of surface mount technology. Try not to get too offended.

Agreed. At first glance, I genuinely thought this was going to be a pitch for yet another fragile additive manufacturing toy with narrow usecase, or a new process that enables IPC-7092 designs on the cheap.

FYSA, SMT in this context is simultaneous multithreading a.k.a. hyperthreading , not surface mount technology . Hardware folks can safely move on.
