    Exactly same problems which Microsoft faced during its underwater datacenter experiment and exactly same reasons why Microsoft ended this experiment.

    No. The moment there is a human involved, it is obviously not fully autonomous

    It is a skill issue. Such developers have to take a problem, isolate it and explain it to someone/something else with enough context to be able to work with it. It is perplexing ho…

    It is like 1 week between order and delivery. It feels to me that if you can't wait for a week for parts and PCB then maybe project should not exist at a first place.

    China and India signalled to Russia that nukes are big no-no. Reason is simple - using nukes when you can't win a conventional war will degrade them from strategic asset into tacti…

    And then it creates problem with radiation (energy dense particles travelling close to the speed of light ripping holes into 2nm chips) and heat (it turns out that coffee stays hot…

    Well the first problem you will hit I'd that very likely you will need to protect or isolate those lines from ESD. This will raise price of device and it will get denied just in th…

    What you are describing is going to be nightmare to work with - i.e. when you will have automatic detection of levels and it will decide to push RS232 into 3V3 MCU then you will ha…

    It really depends. If you know your competitor and understand their core business, then opening garage doors can actually screw them up. I am working in an industry where if one co…

    Sounds like very cheap monitor which had lot of cost cutting done on side of protections of inputs. I would not be surprised that touching such monitor will electrocute you.

    If your system gets locked (I.e. ransomware) and you have secure boot active, then you are out of luck. See Apple M chips which if they get locked you will never unlock them again.…

    The original ESP32 has Ethernet as well, I believe in the form of RMII. Then it has been removed from the chip, never specified the reason.

    Or instead of React you can use native WinUI. So using React is just lazy bloatware introduction
