Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That’s where the real money is.

HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It’s a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.
There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won’t play hevc files/streams without that license installed.
VLC doesn’t really seem to care about those things though and it’s better than the default anyways.
A lot of sensors/gauges in industrial applications are retrofitted with lorawan or similar remote readout capabilities right now. Battery life for these devices is already a big design consideration, especially since not all locations are easily accessible.
With a power source like this you would essentially charge a capacitor, use the stored charge to do a sensor read and short data burst, and then wait for the next charge.
There’s actually an HAI video on that. Those names were actually a direct result of an attempt by Amazon to curate their products better. https://youtu.be/_Bq-6GeRhys?si=ih1eyBLJwo7KAVuS
It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.
The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I’ve had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.
Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.
