I think the main gain is in automation scripts for people with little coding experience. They don't need perfect or efficient code, they just need something barely functioning which is something that LLMs can generate. It doesn't always work, but most of the time it works well enough

That's more or less my point. They won't come out ahead but at least they won't have to raise the prices as much so they'll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don't include electronics

I'm not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead... Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it's cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs

Ooh, nice to know!

It impacts the form factor a bit, but in most projects that's easy to work with

My view is that it's not necessary to pit regional identity vs European identity. I think it's possible to have them side by side. I appreciate many things in my region that make up our identity, but at the same time as a European I can also appreciate many cultural aspects of other regions

While true, that unfortunately doesn't change the reality that many potential new users will run into issues like this

But hey, the more Linux users there are, the more manufactures will be forced to fix their shit
