The brain cells presumably have a life span… if this technology ever gets used in consumer devices, I’d like to know how people will try and squeeze extra life out of a failing component.
Take it out and warm it in their hands like an alkaline battery?
Give it a shake?
Sing to it?
Some kind of stimulant drug?

unsupported hardware, firmware bugs

I imagined something like this (youtube video L7iROzIKm1M ) but idk if it’s still a thing

It’s moot for me anyway because there’s no chance of appliance makers opening up their hardware

EDIT: can’t post a link to YT for some reason

As someone who’s into home automation:

1. Some of the features are cool, like seeing what’s in your fridge remotely. That’d be nice to have while I’m out shopping
2. I currently have an old NUC hooked up to a little interface and some speakers in my kitchen. It’s a bit janky, and it would be nice to run that through some hardware that’s actually intended for kitchen use

Admittedly I’m not sure I could justify the price for “would be nice” features like that

I’d love a fridge with network connectivity and ‘smart’ features, but I’d need control over the firmware it runs
