> Amusingly just an hour ago I did a variation of 'pasta with sauce' what would be heart-attack inducing to anyone snobby enough about Italian cuisine: two big onions, chopped, ste…

Most of those are not standardized according to any proper standard. They are intentionally obfuscated to make access and repairs difficult.

What an incredibly elaborate argument.

Some parts of the market need to be killed, and quickly. Wasteful economy is killing the planet, and we need to dial down the produce-buy-throwaway-buy cycle.

There are standards for sizes of screws, washers, motors, cables, plugs, sockets, ... Just create a bunch more of those standards, e.g. for batteries, legislate their use, done. As…

For kids, there is the necessity to learn to socially interact with other kids. Adults either do not have to learn that anymore, or are hopeless anyways and won't learn it ever.

There are flat-ish contact surfaces on the bottom of the module that are compressed by a bracket onto the corresponding contact surfaces of the motherboard.

Cork is oak, which is carcinogenic (in different amounts in different parts of the plant). Of course for some things one doesn't usually care about that because drinks such as wine…

There are cats the size of dogs, and they are usually outlawed as pets. Look at cougars, lynx, panthers, tigers, etc.

Provide drivers using the old model and a set of instructions to enable that. Edit: I guess instructions won't even be necessary, as far as I've understood, there will just be a wa…

As long as you can send PS, PCL or PDF to the printer via some "standard" network protocol (IPP, LPD, LPR, JetDirect), the "driver" will just be a PDL file and won't need any speci…

You just need to buy network-ready printers with native PostScript or PDF support. Then it has always worked. But most "cheap" (if not accounting for consumables) inkjet crap isn't…

You very often also need some backchannel from the printer, e.g. for toner levels, available paper sizes, installed options. But there is a more important point: Printer manufactur…
