I guess maintainability is not a priority for most consumers.
>>
honestly a lot of it is, at least for headphones
the difficulty is first party part support, a lot of times companies dont offer it not because its something they dont want to do, but because the consumer front end for it is difficult to manage
you can probably buy replacement parts for just about anything contacting the right people in customer service departments for many companies/products, the issue may be that theres no direct way for them to sell you the replacement parts in a format that can be correctly invoiced and managed by their accounting department/team

basically lets say you need a right, back side plastic ear cup cover, you cracked yours and want a new one
they have that part somewhere, but they may not have a way of getting to you
it may not have a part SKU they can put into a point of sale system, theyd just be emailing or calling someone from wherever its manufactured and asking for that piece to be included on their next shipment, and when it gets to the customer service/sales point they might not know what to do with it, its probably not going to be listed on the manufacturers paperwork with the end customers name or anything, or even a traceable part number

the infrastructure to set this up is the hard part, a lot of companies avoid it entirely because the easier solution is to warranty the entire device

>Which really isn't the greater percentage of local buildings.
Well thats you just being retards I googled about the ring circuit since ive never heard it before and its some UK thing that doesnt really exist anywhere else
I've only ever seen radial or "hub and spoke" or whatever type circuit no matter what type of building or when it was built even some ancient houses built hundred years ago where the fuses are the type that break and you need to change it, would still have radial circuit design the whole ring circuit type really seems like a design flaw

>At your exponentially increasing costs over time?
Why would cost of natural gas increase exponentially USA has and absolute fuck ton of it and lot of still untapped fields, its also literally the cheapest most efficient natural resource there is to use when you can just pipe it directly to wherever
LNG is the one that doesnt make sense like if you dont have natural gas locally, liquefying it and transporting in special boats and then un-liquefying is energy-intensive and expensive process and downright retarded due to its complexity and cost. That has nothing to do with the ease and sensibility of using natural gas locally tho
In fact oil is a worse resource complexity wise than natural gas is but its easier to transport and use anywhere thats why its considered the best resource, but if you have natural gas locally everywhere you can pipe it its the best by far to use for heating, and its pretty good for electricity generation too
NG plant you basically need to just let it out of the ground, its so easy to take advantage of

How so?

>Why would cost of natural gas increase exponentially USA has and absolute fuck ton of it
Gee. Iunno. Why is something there's a continually decreasing supply of going to cost more over time?
You may still have 'untapped fields'. That just means you'll not run out *as quickly*. Might be wise to observe the pace of roll-out for the things that *really* eat it, like power stations. Might be a good idea to work out when they'll deliver RoI, and when them fields due to expire at consumption rate. Might also not be unwise to consider the global trend to move away and the consequential loss to economies of scale.

>ease and sensibility of using natural gas locally tho
It's easy, I'll grant you.

>its pretty good for electricity generation too
Depends highly on how you define "good", really. When it costs more to deploy, more to run, and creates multple downstream issues, I have difficulty applying labels like "good".

OpenSource alone is really just a marketing label.
Like nobody knows wtf is going on in the Signal repository, where one employee alone keeps pushing unreviewed changes daily, there is no community who checks it, there is effectively only one App and its binary cant be reproduced.

Matrix however does have an active community, there are people all over the world from different organisations (or none at all) who run and modify homeservers or build their own clients.
There are thousands of people who know how matrix works. There are only 2 to 3 people who know how Signal works.

how about you check out veloren. it's so fucking bad even cube world was done before it. the game was garbage because of rust not in spite of it. the language drained his prototyping budget by being a total pain in the ass to do so.
the syntax is also horrendous. I'd like a better ml/haskell with an ecosystem and better types but rust is not any of that. the ecosystem is also unlike c/++ and requires you to willingly blind yourself to the fuckhuge dependency tree with mandatory SCA regardless of your threat profile. the laser focus on politics and constant false flagging / sockpuppeting by rustroons working hard to poison the well won't change any of this. once you've all acked yourself and the corporate funding dries up what's left is a stillborn language with all of the fundamental, unaddressed issues I've laid out above.

>the game was garbage because of rust not in spite of it.
Why Rust specifically? I have played handful of games like this and they all sucked desu. Cube world is probably the most infamous of them.

>the language drained his prototyping budget by being a total pain in the ass to do so.
Like I said, I wouldn't use Rust for prototyping games. However making games is a very unique situation. Normal programs are not games, you don't need to prototype anywhere as much.

Speaking of games in Rust, yesterday I played a new game announced like 20h ago and it was pretty damn interesting despite being rather minimal. It's made by certain mathematical YouTuber: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4186100/Blocking_Blocks/

>the syntax is also horrendous
I think it's a strict improvement over C++

Hope this is the correct thread for this.
I was writing a simple Tampermonkey script with ChatGPT to move my filter tags to a local script so that I have more (limited) slots for watched tags. I noticed some false positives because I used includes(), and male:x filters would hit female:x galleries. I explained it as SFW as possible, yet it still managed to instantly guess my main NSFW problem tags.
