Every configuration documentation is full of wagely defined or undefined combination of options and "this-flag-cannot-be-used-together-with-that-flag" clauses. Often these things are not even documented but are implicit. e.g. in s

This is was my thought too, but most keyboards have a matrix and use chips with less inputs which makes the problem harder. There are theoretical ways to write it better (you would need to have extra state for all buttons) but most firmware

I guess the point is if you own the machine, there is no reason to scale down, because you already paid the costs upfront. In conclusion cloud providers solve some of the problems they create in the first place very well ;)

> With cloud you can provision what you think you'll need for a few weeks and then, once you get actual usage data, you can scale and fine-tune the setup to fully utilize it (and optimize the costs). Or in a more realistic scenario

We can put abstraction upon abstraction in software, because it's weightless. We have containers and platforms that make it very easy for a hobbyist to create something production quality. It's not so easy with hardware. If you do

Buildings fail over time. Yet when you rent a flat you have a reasonable expectation that it won't collapse on you. Perhaps there is a good function between product age and monthly warranty cost that creates the right incentive.
