    I didn't read malice into the post, just using a tongue-in-cheek tone. My reading was "letting them know doing bad choices will not quitely be accepted". But I may ofcourse read so…

    The analogy would be mandatory inspections of certain components or manufacturing processes to see that rules and specs are followed while assembling.

    This reminds me of Perkeep, but I understand this is more focused on the presentation of the data, while Perkeep was on the data storage. But maybe they could be integrated, or at …

    Electrical safety -> not destroying your GPU does seem like something sellable. It could probably be spinned into some performance pitch if you really want to.
