It sure is nice of the US government to compile a list of sources for us https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/2024 Review of Notorious Markets of Counterfeiting and Piracy (final).pdf

There’s a study on it here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10691350/

Looking at some of the bug reports it looks like your dependency may already be using the MMU.

And?

It’s supposed to preserve them, retraction is sometimes used as a form of censorship. It’s a feature not a bug.

Is there a reason you didn’t use the ESP-S3’s MMU? https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s3/api-reference/system/mm.html

I prefer sources with obvious bias since it makes it easier to account for. Sources that pretend to be unbias are far more insidious.

2025 is off to a good start.

Turned? Have you ever heard of the Rockefeller and Morgan families?

You then just have to figure out how to stop, preferably without killing any life that may have already evolved there.

The word “just” is doing a lot of work here.

If you’re looking for an actual self interest element, they may be planning to start a new company selling a related product, and doing this creates some amount of goodwill.

Your impression is basically the Trotskyist view.

Stalin himself answered your question in an interview with an American reporter some time ago.

Yes , you are right, we have not yet built communist society. It is not so easy to build such a society. You are probably aware of the difference between socialist society and communist society. In socialist society certain inequalities in property still exist. But in socialist society there is no longer unemployment, no exploitation, no oppression of nationalities. In socialist society everyone is obliged to work, although he does not, in return for his labour receive according to his requirements, but according to the quantity and quality of the work he has performed. That is why wages, and, moreover, unequal, differentiated wages, still exist. Only when we have succeeded in creating a system under which, in return for their labour, people will receive from society, not according to the quantity and quality of the labour they perform, but according to their requirements, will it be possible to say that we have built communist society.

You say that in order t o build our socialist society we sacrificed personal liberty and suffered privation.

Your question suggests that socialist society denies personal liberty. That is not true. Of course, in order to build something new one must economize, accumulate resources, reduce one’s consumption for a time and borrow from others. If one wants to build a house one saves up money, cuts down consumption for a time, otherwise the house would never be built.

How much more true is this when it is a matter of building a new human society? We had to cut down consumption somewhat for a time, collect the necessary resources and exert great effort. This is exactly what we did and we built a socialist society.

But we did not build this society in order to restrict personal liberty but in order that the human individual may feel really free. We built it for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks. It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

The confusion is between communism as an economic system and communism (more properly, Marxism-Leninism) as a political system.

Economically communism is a classless, stateless, society.

Most Marxist-Leninist states take the position that transitioning to that instantly is impossible, and you need to build the material conditions for it by transitioning through capitalism (be that state capitalism or some other form) to socialism to communism. The Communist Party of China for instance has a goal of achieving socialism by 2050.

That’s a very simplified version anyway, and some (Trotskyists mostly) disagree that a transition period is necessary.

Don’t want to link it for obvious reasons, but it’s burggit (dot) moe

Pretty good, it only defeds from two instances, one used by pedos and threads.

Different chemistries produce different voltages per cell. Alkaline produces 1.5v, NiMH produces 1.2v, Li-Ion produces 3.6v. These are averages, the actual voltage varies over the current charge level of the cell. This variation in voltage is how the low battery alarm actually works, although Alkaline cells produce 1.5v initially, once they are nearly empty they are producing 1.1-1.2v. Your thermostats will likely work fine on NiMH batteries, if you can live with them continually complaining about the batteries being low.

There are, or at least were, rechargeable alkaline batteries, but they don’t last many cycles.

The 1.5v Li-Ions have a tiny circuit board on them that regulates the voltage down to 1.5v, which takes up space so the capacity is reduced. You could do that with NiMH, but it would have less capacity than the Li-Ion version, so there’s little point.
