My dad used to refer to something he called “Scottish engineering”, which meant you start a project with good intentions but just end up swearing frequently and throwing everything in the fire lol
My favorite one of these shows up in 3D printing. The most popular open source 3D print server gives you a head’s up if your printer’s firmware lacks “Thermal Runaway Protection”. If you click the learn more link, it patiently explains, “There aren’t preventative measures to stop your printer from accidentally catching itself on fire”.
(It’s fine, you usually just need to install a decent MOSFET in the cheaper printers.)
Agreed that it’s hilarious, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that if someone interrupts the portion, the officiater has to go through like… a whole process legally because of it? I don’t know if that matters realistically if he knows too and is cool though
