Sounds like they need to move to either ZIF connectors or 48V power; this kind of power over high pin counts isn't really practical.

There's a reason electrical codes don't usually let you use parallel conductors below about 4AWG/60A per conductor.

That's not bad pricing wise. There's very very little prosumer gear that's multi gigabit and it's all much higher price, or it's just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

NZ does that. More accurately, they email you to tell you that there's a letter available online - I don't think they send physical mail by default.

Then they pay any refund straight into your nominated bank account.

Electric buses have a battery from a probably reputable supplier, with a decent BMS.

Escooters often come from AliExpress.

There is a difference.

It's not clear, but I think they were referring to the version 1 Pi - the newer ones are much much much faster.

Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?
