Yeah but then you can't switch out the chipset without having a different CPU skew and probably also socket because changing IO without changing up pins doesn't sound like a good idea. People would barely notice the additional sockets with Intel but we don't want to take Intel as a benchmark there, do we.

You mean KHMTL, born in KDE's Konqueror. That spawned WebKit (Safari), that spawned Blink (Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc). The whole thing then finally came full-circle when Konqueror dropped KHTML due to lack of development, now you have the choice between WebKit and Blink (via Qt WebEngine).
Then there's Gecko (Firefox) and Servo which had a near-death experience after Mozilla integrated half of it into Gecko but by now development is alive and kicking again. Oh and then there's lynx, using libwww, tracing its lineage back straight to Tim Berners Lee.
The best non-DSM category for socio/psychopath I've come across is the lack of affective empathy, but intact cognitive empathy. (non-DSM because that's just symptom clusters not aetiologies, you quite literally need to have broken laws to be diagnosed with ASPD). Then you have a look at what skills are useful to have as a surgeon, like not flinching when you cut into people, and their character traits including their bedside manners, yep there's plenty of perfectly integrated psychopaths around. Same goes for pyromaniacs fire departments are full of them, you only ever hear about the ones who don't get the curve.
The reason is flexibility, the board manufacturer can decide how many PCIe lanes to send where, how many USB ports there's going to be etc. Modern mainboards are a power delivery system and IO backplane.
Back in the days a CPU was a chest-height cabinet with another chest-height cabinet besides it, containing a magnetic drum or core memory or something, acting as RAM. That stuff moved into the CPU case, then it moved into the CPU package there's really no difference the central processing unit is still the central processing unit no matter how much stuff you include.
This was the first SoC: An ARM3 core, memory controller, IO controller, video accelerator. It's hard to find an x86 nowadays that doesn't have all of that on the package: A system processor to manage everything, multiple application cores, usually at least two memory controllers, decent to absurd amount of PCIe lanes, and a GPU. Chipsets nowadays do little more than manage power, feed the SoC its initial code, and split up some PCIe lanes to provide custom IO because keyboards don't tend to speak PCIe.
Adam Smith would go absolutely ballistic if he were to see our current system. Not at all his vision.
and recycle their water less than fabs
Which is actually a very good idea economics-wise but fabs didn't care much for the longest time because while crucial it's still a minor part of their operating infrastructure. They had bigger fish to fry.
The thing is if you clean a wafer with ultrapure water, the resulting waste water might have some nasty stuff in it... but tap water has more stuff in it, just not as nasty. They generally need to process the waste water to be environmentally safe, anyway, doesn't take much to feed it back into the cycle and turn it into ultrapure, again.
Side note in case you're wondering what it's like to drink that kind of water: It's basically a novel way to burn your tongue. The osmotic pressure due to lack of minerals will burst cell walls but you're not a microorganism so you'll most likely be fine and the load on your overall mineral stores is only marginally higher than when drinking ordinary water, we get the vast majority of our minerals from food.
But the environmental impact of stuff like data centers… its just not a useful discussion,
I'd say it is but more along the lines of feeding waste heat into district heating. Someone can shower with those CPU cycles.
Not sure on their current thinking but the root of that line of thinking predates Israel: European nationalist antisemites would say "Jews don't have a homeland that's why they're wrecking havoc everywhere else, they're jealous".
Overall, in general, zionist antisemitism is a thing.
Schuko is rated for 16A continuous for one hour, 3680W, I think the UK plug would actually take quite a bit more you're just being conservative. Or something odd about ring circuits I don't want to think about.
In any case practically nothing in a household actually uses 3kW. A stove, yes, but that's connected to three phases and without a plug (usually 3x20A over here -- CEE plugs can do that but they're chonkers and how often do you move your stove). Newer dryers should stay under 1kW, the standard high load appliances are kettles and hair dryers.
Your home’s power input is also 240 volts in the US
It's not actually 230V in Europe, it's 400V. Between each pair of the three phases, that is, between phase and neutral there's 230V. (If there's a neutral and you don't create it locally, different topic).
...but I'd actually have different doubts about using the whole thing in the US: Your plugs. Schukos aren't meant for the purpose and only code for up to 800W when used to backfeed. That's almost 1/5th of their 1 hour continuous rating. With those flimsy tinfoil plugs you have you're going to need special outlets, or hard-wire them.
Depends on electrical code which depends on, most of all, your standard plugs. In Germany Schuko is deemed non-optimal, but acceptable, for up to 800W.
...no issues regarding exposed prongs, if the inverter doesn't see AC to sync to it doesn't output anything. It's not a dumb spinny magnet generator we're talking about here.
Most people don't have an outlet on their balcony, though, and weather-proofing the thing is an issue in any case so while you're at it you can just as well put in a proper Wieland outlet. 20 bucks or so, the expensive part will be the electrician not the outlet.
There's one alternative: Mikrotik. Availability of OpenWRT images is spotty not because the devices would have locked bootloaders or something, or they wouldn't provide kernel sources, but because Mikrotik's software is ISP-grade so very few people want to run anything else on it. Want your AP to talk BGP? No problem.
