What SmartNIC are you using? Most SmartNICs that I'm aware of suck a decent amount of power, many more require significant external airflow. Are you using the Mikrotik active cooled one? https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_2xs_pcie

These costs in this article are surprising to me, and very questionable without any actual numbers behind it. As a PHEV owner who can fuel with either gas or electricity, the 13c per kWh I pay is dramatically cheaper than gas at circa $3 a gallon, to drive any distance at all.

Confounding factors across the US may be that in some places using more electricity results in an increase in your marginal rate, in others it results in a decrease. Typically EV charging is not broken out as its own line item, so owners may not know exactly how many kWh their car is consuming. That doesn't change the fact that only a small number of places with very expensive electricity will have electric charging cost anywhere near gas.

If factories shut down and supply chains are disrupted and we only make half as many cars this year, how much would people be willing to pay for those cars? Much more.

I'm guessing that's the timeout?

Cryptocurrency scams must be an incredibly lucrative space, and now we know why there's so much spam about it that plenty leaks out into visibility.

The Rivian owners insurance will frequently end up paying out, via that underinsured motorist coverage.

This may be a shrinking niche, but it's potentially a last bastion of AM radio usefulness.

For example, the 2022 Ford Maverick XL was not available with cruise control, but it's only locked out in software. All cars have computer controlled throttles now, so cruise control is a software-only feature with no additional hardware.

Some other hardware that's commonly limited by software is CPUs, GPUs, and such. I had a triple core AMD CPU that I unlocked into a quad core, and an ATI GPU that I reflashed into a higher model. This has become less possible as manufacturers start using lasers to destroy parts of their own product instead, so that hackers can't re-enable disabled functionality.

If laws came around to prevent software from being used to limit hardware functionality, that's what we're going to start seeing: more money and effort spent to intentionally remove or destroy things from products. That sucks compared to just switching it off in software.

Older deployments would be on 1.1.1, which this does not affect.

The primary objective of students wanting to get into medical school is to get a high GPA, what specific courses they take and what they learned don't end up mattering at all. Very little of what they learn during the 4 years of undergrad will end up applying during medical school, residency, and their careers.
