In 2010 I was paying 10 cents per kWh. In 2025 I am paying 36 cents per kWh. What ever happened in these 15 years, it is an absolute death spiral.

The author just wants to apply system update, and it should "just work". The DFU part is just a distraction, what happened to "just works", as they point out in the article. We should not even _know_ anything about DFU u

I find the comments Copilot proposes is better than average comment quality for the code base I routinely work on: maybe you are so great you don't need any help ever, but that's not true for the average software dev.
