Well, it's not a case over the case. It's just the back and outside of the case is yellow.
This is what Fluke switched to in about 2000 and what this is emulating.
The case is supposed to look like a black case in a yellow case because that's what older Flukes did, they had a black plastic case in a yellow rubber case.
But that just made meters more bulky and made it harder to access the battery compartments. So Fluke dropped that a long time ago and the clones did too.
Also, the destruction is mandatory in this case, it's part of the punishment for the transgression.
If your small business can't keep track of enough stuff to keep from infringing IP, then buy from suppliers who will indemnify you for IP infringement. Or just buy from reputable retailers.
You decided to get some sketchy Chinese meters from a company skirting the law to try to save some money or raise margins. And now it bit you. It seems like this is how the system is supposed to work.
Don't worry, everyone isn't in the Bay Area because you're here, you egotistical asshole. They're not going to follow you just because you leave.
I think your 18 months timeframe is too long. Why torture yourself with asbestos and mold any longer? Get out now.
Give me a break, Coda would have failed under any circumstances.
Musk, if you want to keep credibility, don't say incredible things.
So "this one is deterministic" seems like a weak complaint.
This is essentially what makes them PRNGs instead of RNGs.
Completely and categorically.
And they did so before this post was even approved.
Also, RSAs authenticator keychains. And more.

This has been invented a million times. The practicality of carrying a device specific for this purpose holds back the widespread use of stuff like this.
Thick glass will fracture when you pour boiling water in. The inside of the glass heats up and expands while the outside is still cool and that creates internal stresses and breaks it.
By making the glass/ceramic thin the whole thing expands with the heat which causes no significant stresses.
You could double-wall it or insulate it as others mentioned.
DRM doesn't have to be undefeatable. The point is simply that the number of people who have hacked machines which bypass the DRM is much smaller than the total installed base of machines.
So this makes it hard to make a viable business model by selling 3rd party cups. Even if you and everyone you know can run un-DRMed cups, companies still can't viably make generic cups.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
