- Also interested in this, but haven't tried it myself. Apparently NSF (Nano Silver Fluoride) is more commonly in non-western countries.
They have a video with some more info here: https://pt.fourthievesvinegar.org/w/9aa66b49-2ec5-497f-9f49-...
And apparently the use of NSF does have a bunch of research papers written about it: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amol-Patil-43/publicati...

Does it really? In my opinion, if it stops working and it's under warranty, why not send it out for repair? They did no changes to the actual device, and apparently it was working fine for a few days without network connection, so if it suddenly stops working and it's under warranty that's the manufacturer's/store's problem, not theirs. Trying to fix it/reverse engineer it takes time, and I can see someone with these kinds of skills wanting to spend it on something else than trying to figure out how the manufacturer bricked their vacuum.
In addition, _someone_ is paying for the repairs under warranty, so if enough people were to do it, hopefully it would disincentivize completely blocking devices just because they can't reach a server.
- NVIDIA's stance on Linux aside, from a practical point of view the one thing I've had the most issues with in practice while using them together was the abomination that is Optimus. Considering they mention a mux for outputting directly to the display, it sounds like this might be a bit less of a pain to get working since it sounds like you should be able to just have one GPU active at a time (instead of both of them having to work together).
- Like the Cosmo Communicator?
- It also depends on how popular the place is, and the customer demographic. Continuing with that example, if it's a small grocery store in a town with a population of a few thousand people, sure, there's definitely no point in having 24 different types of jam. However, if it's a store specializing in jam, in a large city, then having a larger selection makes sense, especially when you have someone working there who you can ask to recommend something. Sadly that usually also implies higher prices.
- That's kind of like saying storing files in a zip is worse than storing them uncompressed. Or like the "what color are your bits": https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

- I agree with the "build things locally" thing, but that only works for products that are popular enough in an area/country to justify production, and, through economy of scale, allow for a low enough price to be competitive.
Meanwhile those who need some niche items, for example people with a niche hobby, end up having to pay more for the same things, because they simply have no other choice. Or if they're lucky they can pay several times the price to a local (usually online) store, getting the same product, probably from the exact same factory line, just for several times the price, because now there's an extra middleman.
- That works great until you end up paying more in processing fees than the value of the item. Or when you pre-pay the tax online when buying an item, the shipper doesn't mark the package correctly and the local post service tells you you have to pay the tax a second time and ask the seller for a refund of the prepaid tax. Of course that involves a long time spent chatting with a CS rep who doesn't seem to understand the problem, and they refuse to refund you for the extra processing fee. (Looking at AliExpress here. Still, don't have much of a choice.) Or a friend decides to be nice and send you a gift for Christmas but you end up having to pay more in taxes and tax processing fees than the actual value of the gift. Oh and did I mention the tax here in Norway is 25% of the item value _plus_ the shipping cost?
Isn't that just because that's what they're being trained on though?
Wonder what you would get if the training data, instead of being task based, would consist of "wanting" to do something "on someone's own initiative".
Of course then one could argue it's just following a task of "doing things on its own initiative"...
