Don't take this too serious. If it would stop driving bans for diesels, this government would also consider rainbow unicorns for every school kid.

(Hello downvotes? If you are not in tune with German politics: this is the same government that is in contempt of court for failing to enforce effective measurements to stop excessive pollution levels. This is not at all a sincere suggestion.)

Actually, they are. Arguably it's the cryptominer fools that the part manufacturers want nothing to do with, because chances are you ramp up manufacturing now (so 3-6 months until you actually see higher supply) and by then they are on to the next coin fad.

This isn't even a UK case. What do they care if Sweden wants to drop it?

A basic lack of fundamental understanding has caused the author to quickly fall into an expertly laid trap by marketers that seek to equate 48 volt systems with some sort of "green, hybrid, clean" spirit, leading to such bizarre statements like "The advantages of the new 48-volt systems are considerable. They offer fuel economy improvements of up to 15 percent"

Of course it's all about saving a few dollars on copper.

Eh, not for WebGL it won't. Nobody even implements DX other than high-powered desktop GPUs.

Will it live on? Sure, we will still have games and Xboxes. But if you're going to pick a standard that can work on mobile and desktop, there is no contender other than Vulkan.

Today, APIs don't keep working for a month because someone thought replacing careful design with a bad emulation of SQL is the new hotness. They call it GraphQL.

Not Nature, reviewers.

Your mistake is in assuming that someone is trying to solve some scholarly distinction between who matches the dictionary definition of either term better.

No. It's a tax construct, and that is the only criteria we should use to measure it.

For power management and sequencing chips. Like a BIOS would.

There are no interesting drivers there.

The poorest inhabitants in London don't live in the kind of home where they can install a wood stove. They rent and likely have central heating.
