On the other side of this, you have company's that are in tangential fields looking to grab up a piece of that pie. Electricians, low voltage companies, fucking furniture companies (oh, we totally do audiovisual, that's similar enough), the C-suite is trying to force their way into this new golden goose and expecting their staff to be able to handle this without training, time, or real hands on experience. And, no, a 2 day workshop from a manufacturer isn't really "training", at least not the only training needed...

So if I turn the car battery upside down, a 12v DC battery should run a 120v AC appliance?? Brilliant! I have an idea for how we can use this with two fans to create infinite energy!

And then donate to the devs directly?

It isn't. It would most likely be windows IoT. it's an embedded windows OS that allows for a single app instance to be running.

You'd be surprised how many things run windows IoT right now...

I mean... Most of the places near me a burger with a sides is typically like $13 - $16 and I am definitely in the Midwest...

Because now manufacturers are tying the last year of their warranty to having the devices connected to their stupid information harvesting apps.

For context, this research paper was also pre-pandemic.

On average, CEO salaries jumped about 30% since this research was released. Here is an updated article by the EPI EPI Research

Also for context - on 1965, average CEO-to-worker salary ratio was 20:1, and in 1985 it was 59:1.

Not it's almost 400:1.
