3D printers were supposed to eliminate some aspects of retail and distribution. They've not turned out as successful as my optimism when I was younger suggested, because multi-materials and resolution is difficult. Theoretically though yes, a molecular level assembler would do everything you say.

It’s the Tory party, so yes.

Thank you 😊

Good bot

But we're going to end up having not been back to the moon for longer than that. Some fields stagnate, and hardware is a lot harder to progress.

It didn't fail exactly. That effort is what led to most manufacturers using micro usb for years, providing mostly standardised charging compared to what was occuring before. The advice allowed them to upgrade to usb-c when that came around though, this new piece of legislation has a similar mechanism to allow for upgrades though is slightly more unwieldy.

Think that's mostly a reflection on how people can still appreciate extremely simple plots though rather than production ability. I mean some TV shows that are very popular are remarkably shit to my mind.
