Could have, but this would have been a really bad look for the Olympic Committee, and it's very possible they would have preferred to waive the fine. Beyond a certain point, fines become a game of political chicken.

That doesn't sound right... all of the Nordic designs I've seen have been exceptionally low power. The internal LDO / DC-DC blocks for running directly off of a battery are sized for <100 mA. Even with bypass caps, 2A spik

I also like the ESP32, but low power seems like a stretch... that thing runs very warm. I suppose if your benchmark is an i386 or a Raspberry Pi, then sure, it's low power, but compared to other microcontrollers with comparable wireles

This is completely in line with how the FAA operates with respect to air travel. They are involved in certification for pilots, crew, and aircraft, but rarely do anything involving passengers. And that's exactly what these wealthy thri

There is no cohesive "humanity" with any sort of desire or ability to optimize for "the economy." Individuals optimize for their own (often short-term) economic benefit. That's it. The corporate overlords at ACME

For "cheap," netbooks as a category have been replaced by your run-of-the-mill entry-level laptop. The cheapest Dell Inspiron starts at ~$300. $400 gets you an Intel i3 or an AMD Ryzen 3, both of which are leagues better than an A
