Isn't WiFi technically light based? It's all just electromagnetic radiation

This is ironically is the biggest problem with the fediverse in my opinion, eveything is connected and interoperable in some way but also not fully. It's confusing and probably puts a lot of people off

I'm surprised that regular solar panels are only around 20% efficient. I hope eventually we'll see much higher efficiency solar panels become available

I think it only works with external displays specifically running on an Intel integrated GPU, iirc

One thing that nobody else is touching on which I think is part of what you're asking is that it differs from brain surgery in that they don't need to work on the "live" version of the operating system that they are using to develop on. They might have another or multiple other computers that they install their in-development versions of the OS on, or use virtual machines (which is where a virtual computer is created inside of another computer running a completely different OS) to test their changes. Operating systems are also very large and made up of specific components, a single person might be working only on a very specific part of the OS at one time which they can swap into an existing version of the OS in order to test it, rather than having to have a half finished windows 11 on their PC.

Python is good but the syntax is quite different from what you get in most other languages, so if you then want to learn another language you might find it a higher learning curve than if you learnt something like Java or Javascript
