Why fix them, it's free traffic calming.

Electric meters often blink a signal LED for every X kWh, so other devices can read the signal. I'm not sure if this is used for bidirectional communications, though.
Smart meters have a whole protocol

The thing is teenagers or poor people or people from third world countries that pirate for financial reasons just would not buy those games regardless. I'm unconvinced that those pirates affect sales in the end to any meaningful degree.
Also teenagers grow up eventually having money to buy the games on their own.
I’m a Diablo and StarCraft fan because of pirated games played during my childhood when I couldn’t convince my parents to let me buy them.
So does autocomplete. Why not treat LLM as next autocomplete iteration?
You could build one like that, but most implementations I've seen cross the line for me.
Hard to define but feels similar to the "I know it when I see it" or "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck" definitions.

Stuff like fans for extra downforce and higher power engines were tried in F1 but ultimately they push the limits of safety too far. Wouldn’t want to be in that car if it popped off the ground or the fan failed.
As a hacker and tinkerer I hate ESPHome. Yes it's super cool to have a turnkey "I want these sensors, give me firmware" but all of the code is hidden away and you can't easily modify or add to it.
If I want to run custom logic, I have to bundle a custom component into the esphome thing. Not bad I guess but I still don't like the lack of control
my custom logic runs as something in home assistant usually, haven’t yet had a need to add stuff in the esphome config yet (although I could imagine many situations where it’s necessary)

I'm not sure which dimensions you're talking about, but in terms of bed size the F-150 has been very consistent over the years (although I think Crew Cabs — although they always existed — have become more popular). The Ranger still cannot fit a full sized sheet of plywood flat in the bed.
Quick research: the new Ranger's bed size has only increased 0.9" (width) relative to the 1990 version. Bed length seems to be the same.
The standard size f150 bed can't fit a standard 4'x8' sheet of plywood
I always choose self service because that's where the volume is. I can wait in one of any Costco lines with 4 carts and 1 person checking them through, or I can wait in the line with 4 carts and 6 self service checkouts.
Despite the math working out insanely well for self service checkout, sometimes the gamble still doesn't pay off and the single employee burns through 4 carts faster than 6 self service checkout kiosks.
Costco does pretty good here though, drug stores go slow as hell.
I have a mental list of who the fast/slow checkout people are at my store, would be curious to see numbers but I think the fast people are more than 2x as fast as the slower ones.
I like it, I order on my phone before I get to the place and just pick it up.
Any reason to like the old way is just nostalgia in my head.
There are pros, but ultimately we’re all still apes, we need human interaction and contact. It can’t be completely replaced with technology.
