![]() Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of exercise, or otherwise perform an educational, simulational, or psychological role.Īttested as early as 2600 BC, games are a universal part of human experience and present in all cultures. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Toys generally allow for unrestricted play whereas games present rules for the player to follow. Often, part of the entertainment for children playing a game is deciding who is part of their audience and who is a player. ![]() On the other hand, players in a game may constitute their own audience as they take their turn to play. The players may have an audience of non-players, such as when people are entertained by watching a chess championship. They can be played alone, in teams, or online by amateurs or by professionals. Games are sometimes played purely for enjoyment, sometimes for achievement or reward as well. Many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games). ![]() For other uses, see Game (disambiguation).Īncient Egyptian senet game board inscribed for Amenhotep III with separate sliding drawer, from 1390 to 1353 BC, made of glazed faience, dimensions: 5.5 × 7.7 × 21 cm, in the Brooklyn Museum (New York City)Ī game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool. ![]()

![]() If buyers cared about repair costs, auto transmissions and turbos wouldn't be anywhere near as common as we see. Some manufacturers (Audi) stopped making manual transmission NA cars back in 2010, without even seeing a dip in sales. The auto transmission will need a rebuild around 200000km, and the turbo is just an extra thing that could break, and yet new-car buyers vastly prefer to buy autoboxes with turbos. I used to avoid buying cars with auto transmissions or turbos. > I'd guess blenders are a commodity at this point - for most of the market, customers are very price sensitive, so since repairability ain't gonna win you any points, you may just as well assume that you get a fraction of the market share, and if your product breaks early, you'll capture that fraction of repeat purchases. The EU kind of sort of does this already, most electronic devices there have a mandatory warranty period, but it's only two years. This gives manufacturers an incentive to extend warranties, which also forces more repairability. It would also significantly help with the "the servers have disappeared and my device is now a brick" issue by forcing manufacturers to keep the appropriate IT infrastructure operational.Īnother less radical version of this idea is to force manufacturers to prominently feature a "yearly cost of use", which is basically the price divided by the number of years under warranty (we assume here that the product is designed to be thrown away immediately after the warranty expires). It also forces manufacturers to consider product quality much more seriously, as unknowingly releasing a faulty product onto the market, without factoring the repair costs into the price, can significantly affect their profits. This allows for much easier repairability comparisons when shopping (items with high repair costs just become more expensive). By making all repairs free for consumers, the repair costs are shifted onto the initial price. This seems like a much neater solution than a right to repair. It can be legislated away by requiring all appliances of certain kinds to have 15 or 20 year warranties, perhaps with some extra safeguards to prevent Hollywood accounting tactics from being used. ![]() The only way it gets fixed is if consumers start to care and start basing their purchases at least partially on repairability (including price). Unfortunately, this particular problem is not one that I think can be legislated away (or at least not without the legistlation causing more problems than it fixes). It's currently sitting in a cupboard waiting for me to get the energy to get a 3d printed replacement, since I am having trouble throwing away what is otherwise a perfectly serviceable blender except for 1 small broken piece of plastic. ![]() Unfortunately, during this process, the mounting bracket holding the control board in place also broke (they did not use very high quality plastic), and unfortunately that piece was only sold as an assembly with the entire control board which was priced basically identically to the whole blender. ![]() It probably saved a few cents in material costs but resulted in the whole thing failing years earlier than it probably should have), but luckily, the mounting bracket was available, and at an eminently reasonable price.

Hands-off and eyes-off is the key step up between Level 2 and Level 3 autonomy. It focuses on an easier, but also a more appreciated area to automate – as long road trips or extended periods of highway driving are typically the time when drivers can really value being able to take their eyes off the road. Level 3 autonomy may be the next megatrend within the auto industry. Conversely, city driving involves more types of unpredictable obstacles. Although highway driving requires fast reaction times, it generally involves reasonably similar types of events or patterns of events. While fully autonomous city driving (Level 5) remains further out, fully autonomous highway driving (Level 3) may be just around the corner.
