In the 90s my Dad was complaining to his friend that all I did was play video games on the computer. His friend, who was in IT at the time, said "He's installing software and troubleshooting/upgrading the computer to make those games work."

His friend was right. I ended up helping my high school setup their computer lab, which led to my first computer repair job, which turned into running my own IT Consulting business.

Playing computer games turned into a 25+ year career.

Encourage kids to do what they love. You never know what it might turn into.

The a cappella version of the #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds intro theme song from the musical episode gave me goosebumps. I want to know who did it.

Welp, my RTL #SDR just shit the bed. Time to get another one next check. Hopefully the new version sucks a little bit less than this silver one. Time to dedicate a PC just for radio usage.

So the #Tesla cybertrucks apparently have a neat design feature where all the electrical systems are run through a single cable. As opposed to the more common way of doing things which is to have all the lights, displays, windows, etc have their OWN cables. Muskrats are touting this as a design innovation since it cuts down on the car's complexity and saves on copper.
Why is this important?
Because the cybertrucks have a massive built-in single of point of failure. In a normal car, your windows shorting out or your display short-circuiting means your windows don't work or your display doesn't work. But the cybertruck runs ALL the electrical systems through the same cable. One shorts out, everything shorts out. EVERYTHING. Doors, windows, power steering, the works. That cable gets damaged, and nothing will function.
Sure, in engineering, you want to keep things simple if possible to cut down on maintenance and make things easier to fix... but sometimes you NEED that complexity.

OP is bragging otherwise.
