NA is a big enough market that lots of models already use specific variations. I could see that happening in the future with charge ports

It says a lot about ccs that all the automakers are switching off of it. Even if the ccs networks weren’t noticeably worse, nacs is smaller, and should make for much easier vehicle packaging designs (see: Tesla nacs in taillights vs ccs behind a big door)

This is why I’m going to hold onto my ancient inkjet without DRM until it dies. I can buy the no-name ink off amazon for $7 and it works just as good

Hasn’t this always been the case? Software development is a balance between efficiency of code execution and efficiency of code creation. 20 years ago people had to code directly in assembly to make games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, but today they can use C++ (or even more abstract systems like Unity)

We hit the point where hardware is fast enough for most users about 15 years ago, and ever since we’ve been using faster hardware to allow for lazier code creation (which is good, since it means we get more software per man-hour worked)

Thank you for posting this! As one engineer to another, well done!

On a side note, do you know if the Steam Deck has a dedicated grounding location to allow work with an esd strap?

Have you considered taking Reddit’s king?

You want to know the difference between Reddit and Wikipedia? One of them is for-profit, and one of them is non-profit. Reddit acted like a benevolent entity so long as it worked to help them grow their user base. But they always knew that their user base was their product, and it was inevitable that they would try to monetize it. Wikipedia (and hopefully the lemmyverse) exist solely for their users, and which is why they have basically stuck around as one of the last truly public service websites
