Ditto. They barely last 12 mos. This goes for both types: LED Light Chips (Strips) and LED String Lights from various manufacturers.

Do you have a rooster to help fight the chaos?

AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. There are technical boundaries and I doubt the team at OpenAI just let the AI have full control. This gets filed under marketing fluff.

I don't know why you got voted down. I am also skeptical about this bold claim because AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. It's most likely marketing fluff.

Mouthwash kills the good bacteria as well. Better off using chips gum to stimulate natural saliva which helps in reducing bad bacteria.

I like to think of a virus like code. It’s nothing more than a series of instructions in a file that, when executed (by the cell), does something. Is code complex enough to be called life?

This is great. How is "disputed" calculated? (hopefully not news babble but another paper disputing it?)

A lot of folks aren’t open to change and see change and experiments as frightening yielding biased conclusions.

It’s fine to have opinions but drawing bold conclusions is best done with factual data over a longer time horizons.

Spot on. A Product (which most engineers can hack together) shouldn't be confused with a Business.

I heard that one way to check quality is to look at the type of capacitors used on the board.

Capped are cheap and don’t last long (they have a vent on top) and when they blow they spread white residue on the board. The solid capacitors don’t suffer from this, last much much longer but do cost a bit more.

Ps. Maybe someone with more electrical knowledge than I can confirm or debunk this?
