As an EE graduate I want to hear more about what dirt means and what driver can be affected by it. I'd expect power electronics to stand 100% over voltage over short periods and easy 20% long term, which would blow up lots of other things on the house before the driver or the LED starts performing worse.
LEDs can take quite a beating. The only thing that degrades then is being on, and being hot. For all purposes unless it's inside a restaurant kitchen or they're on, they're not hot.
Other packaged electronic components follow the same rules. Except wires and solder that can oxidize without being used.
So no, I think that's a grift if you can't reach 5 years. When domestic LED lighting was in infancy we'd hear all power LEDs, like for cars, should last 10 years.
Yeah silly it's too valuable, they hoard it and sell services that are powered by your data.
It's a great income stream. Google charges oems a fee for running Android. Then charges consumers a fee when they spend money on apps or buy things with Google pay. Then charges for ads using your private data, and ads are reported to be the biggest income stream overall for the company, including search on desktop.
At this point monopoly of violence by the state would be an improvement
Also sounds like America's favorite hobby is back: shooting presidents.
Was there any previous attempts of murder without shooting? And if anyone has statistics of assassinations in other countries by guns vs something else I'd be curious to see. Except Fidel, that's going to take too long and skew the numbers 🤣🤣🤣
That graph is what the herd behavior looks like. But if you break down, take 2 people who are actually on bottom quartile. While on average they think they're 3rd quartile aka a bit above average, one of them will have impostor syndrome and the other one will think they're the smartest person around. Then for the top 2 smartest people around, one will know it for sure and the other will think of themselves less than the overconfident newbie described above.
