Just copying who I believe it was Scott McNealy (of Sun Microsystems) who said at Comdex about ten years ago that the future of computers was about trust. They were pretty spot on with the whole The internet is the computer thing too.
IIRC, I used some opamps to get the other voltages (5 and 3,3?). It was about 15 years ago. I've seen a ton of dcdc buck level shifting boards on ebay for a couple dollars. FWIW, this was a shrunken formfactor board about 200x200mm, and did't use standard pci slots, but did take a standard pc power supply. I'm sure it would work with any other pc board (as long as the appropriate currents can be supplied).
This is how I have my rpi board setup too - running off of batteries/charger. Except the batteries are 16650(??) lipo...something standard. That was a while ago too.
I first looked at the images without glasses on on purpose so I would know exactly what I was looking at. I'm fairly blind without them and gave an almost identical answer for the first photo and sailboats for the second photo.
I don't know about that. 10 years into all LED bulbs and I'm on my 2nd or third replacement of all of them.. I'd still pat extra because my energy costs are so high, but I don't believe their longer life estimate. I have/had good quality bulbs too.
Yeah, my house is off grid and I can make it look like a car parking lot for under 2kwh/night. At least until I go to sleep. If I were using incandescent bulbs I'd get a few bulbs for a couple of hours. For me it translates to having to have a lot less night time storage.
Say you're working for a tool manufacturer and come up with an idea to save hundreds of hours per year (machines can cost thousands of dollars an hour to operate. You go to your boss who says it would never work. You manage to elevate it up the company, but everyone says either it wouldn't work or that nobody would buy it.
So you quit your job, mortgage the house, buy a thousands of dollars of tools, spend 6 months to develop your idea showing your idea does work, buy a spot in a trade show convention and then get noticed by customers who give you lots of money to develop your own tool. It's not big and doesn't do a lot, but it's a step in the process of dozens of stages and will save them millions/year. Former employer goes, hey that works, looks easy (it was very easy, but relied on a bit of developed freshman college physics), we can just copy it. Except you have the patent. It was all pretty obvious, nobody took the $70k to develop the idea.

One of my favorite things living in Japan.
Japan did it.
Critical thinking maybe why it isn't taught.
It the transition to a Postmodernism philosophical belief and has been ongoing for decades, the dominant culture in media and now taught in schools.

Postmodernism rejects your concept of an objective natural reality whose existence and properties are logically independent of human beings.
they are very entertaining. The best(worst) are the contrail conspiracies.
Why? Other than amazon basic batteries, i can buy everything else they sell a click away.

Or very small
I wired my PC to run directly off of a 12v battery and leave the battery attached to a charger at all times. Seems to work fine.
And I bet their all cut using a big die press
But in a more blurred picture you can jump to the same conclusions.
Yup, I took off my glasses so I couldn't see and exactly matched the "AI's" guess for the first photo.
More neurons, ie bigger LSF matrix

I would have asked my next door neighbor. I've given them rides there before.
Scraping the bottom for ideas.
Someday, when you are old enough, you will pay taxes. Will you take your standard $6,350 deduction, or will you skip it to evade paying taxes?
LED have a longer life
I don't know about that. 10 years into all LED bulbs and I'm on my 2nd or third replacement of all of them.. I'd still pat extra because my energy costs are so high, but I don't believe their longer life estimate. I have/had good quality bulbs too.

What makes you think
Because I worked there. Production tools are a multi billion dollar industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Nope/ I don't know why people woth so much hate for large corporations want to give them so much more power.
Not if you have the patent. Been there before.
Of course not, I'm a physicist, but the OP suggested that the business needs to compete on marketing and not rely on patents for protection.
I've worked for successful startups. They've all had patents that were rarely used, but used when larger competitors copied our design.
