Yep, it's the one starting everything.
And doing nothing else. And still something manages to no be right.

Yes, it's a solved problem. Just don't put clocks on ever damning single appliance.
why is there still so little variety
Every appliance is built by the same local company that buys all the components (including firmware) from the same Chinese company.
If you are talking about the shape (wider on the top than on the bottom), it's not really a problem.
If you are talking about any other thing, you are probably right.
The new safety features all break down under stress and make the tool as safe as the 1996 piece as soon as you put them in a dangerous environment.
Also, both the new and the 1996 pieces have hidden explosives that were placed there by the new tooling used to build them. Nobody will tell you where they are, you should know that already. Don't hit them.
what’s the structure of the house made out of?
Reinforced concrete. It's cheap to create, the materials are quite cheap, it's very strong, and you can make it have any shape.
I never understood why the US makes strctural bits out of wood. I can understand using it on the walls, but it's completely unfit for the structure.
I'd bet most people here claiming their houses are made of bricks have a reinforced concrete structure hidden inside brick molds on the corners.
In almost the entire world.
Wood houses exist, they are just rare.
engagement bait
That's what we are calling jokes nowadays?
Yes, those things are really hard to park.
And screaming IEEE because you are happy the standard is well built.
I dunno. A shadow-ban normally is retroactive, but I actually don't know the policy on plain bans from most places. I know that here it would be a huge technical challenge to delete everything a user created, but lemmy is very different from most platforms.
You know that Mercantilism is the name of the policies the European countries had to trade with each other, right?
If you wanted to talk about overseas imperialism, also no, its first business was buying natural resources. Its second business was stealing natural resources. It only started trading people after there wasn't easy stuff to take away anymore.
They had to build it every time they wanted a new install, all the packages were paid for, and worse of all, they only got borderline support.
