Pretty sure the gearing and/or flywheel spinning required to actually reasonably charge a device like this would make using it as a gaming input mostly useless. If you've tried any of those hand crank devices, they take quite a b

When your supplier decommits on your order, new order lead times are > 52 weeks and the open market price is 2 orders of magnitude higher than buying new, this starts to make some sense. Either you find a way to make product to sell, or

Or, on the flip side, how much do you lose by deploying an 'oops', resulting in customers having a bad experience and posting "This thing sux!" on social media? I can sympathize with the costs in both time and money to m

True, though this is still one of the most annoying things in online recipes: "Add one small onion" Oookay...how big is that? How much of a difference in flavor will it be if I add more or less? What if I barely like onion? If

For liquids maybe, but for dry ingredients not so much. Weights are better if you want consistent outcomes.

Totally agree, but if you're a pro and there's extra detail in the recipe, you can ignore it or tailor it to your needs. If you're just getting started or it's an unfamiliar recipe and you don't have any details, y

I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it a toy, but I do think that this device is more likely to be used in education or prototyping than anything else - which is still great! Just having a platform that will autoconfigure

I don't have a problem with the price - I have a problem with being sure what I'd be getting for that money. If it was guaranteed to live up to the claims that are being made then it's in the ballpark of a good laptop, which

Agreed - Teams has a truly terrible messaging interface. Organization is nearly nonexistent, and the UI is awful. On the other hand, I find Teams video conferencing to be pretty good for video meetings. Once you get to a certain number of

Be careful though - this is the path I took, and it still comes with trade-offs. I started out as a developer and made the transition to management, where I now oversee a mid-size engineering department (~100 people). I never get to even

I love the idea, but this has Tragedy of the Commons written all over it IMHO. It won't take very many bad actors before it's ruined for everyone. That said, it's not stopping me from participating.

Trouble is - I don't know what sort of consequences Amazon would find 'substantial' at this point. All the FAANGs have enough cash to shrug off billions of dollars in fines if they have to.

I would love to know the answer to this for all the same reasons. Is there some actual special sauce or is the world of 'audiophile DACs' just the new 'Monster Cable' FUD?

These two things are not mutually exclusive. The decision to allow operating without a battery is a mainboard design decision and has very little to do with the protection circuitry on the battery pack. In a device like this, the decision
