Exactly this, the review process already exists and it exists for a reason.
If code is crap it will get rejected, it doesn't matter wether it was barfed out by an LLM or typed out manually by an inexperienced human programmer.

Moving production is not so easy, Moving to a new product line requires replacing a lot of the equipment, which would mean buying new cutting edge equipment to equip new production lines.
If you're replacing existing production capacity rather than creating new capacity then you'd also end up not using the older equipment, which would be wasteful as the equipment has already been paid for and there's still a lot of demand for the older lines.
There are also manufacturers who only make the older lines and don't have the capability to make the newer stuff at all.

A smart TV needs ram for the lowend soc it uses solely to drive the smart tv function, a dumb screen needs significantly less and can make do with a tiny amount built on a much older process. This isn't in competition with the kind of ram that's currently in high demand.

There's nothing wrong with tech itself, the problem is rather the misuse of it, and isolating kids from all tech does them no favors either because that's simply not how the world works today.

One of the things i keep hearing is that tech provides too many distractions... Welcome to the world, distractions are everywhere. You can't force kids to learn by locking them in an isolation tank, you have to teach them how to operate despite the distractions.
They are getting distracted because you're trying to make them do an activity that hasn't caught their interest. If you take away the distractions that's not going to make the activity any more interesting to the kids, it will just make them more bored and more likely to be disruptive to the rest of the class.

Another thing to consider is *why* kids are not focusing on work, and a lot of this has to do with large class sizes.
When you have 30 kids in a class they will all have different levels of ability. If you assume that the teacher is targeting the middle ground then you're going to have a handful of kids who can't keep up and end up falling behind, so they give up and start messing around. You will also have a handful of smart kids who easily understand the subject of the class and find the teacher's method of teaching slow and boring, so they too start messing around.

If you've ever seen kids doing something they are actually engaged with you'll know that they're perfectly capable of ignoring all manner of distractions.

A lot of parents today simply don't have time to read books. Raising kids is expensive, so the parents have to spend a lot of time working. When they're not working they have barely enough time to do household chores and attend to the kids basic needs.

You can see the same in a lot of third world countries - their school systems are set up to have the kids memorise the answers that will appear during the subsequent exams, with no attempt made to understand the answers or how to work them out for yourself.

Clearly this approach doesn't work - it's a significant contributing factor to why these countries are and continue to be underdeveloped.

Unless the book manages to capture your interest, reading a whole novel is quite a drag and takes a significant amount of time that people would rather not waste.
Instead they will just do the minimum required by the class.

Those who actually want to read the whole book (or a different book because they may not enjoy the ones selected by the teachers) will do so on their own.

That's the point, he didn't know.
Now the technology exists to find out, so you can cut out the wasted spending and use that money for something more productive.

Shoving ever more obnoxious ads at someone doesn't work, it irritates them and causes them to remember the product or brand in a negative light.

Those who feel all ads are bad are not going to respond to advertising in any positive way, so it's a waste of time trying.

The current approach taken by advertisers seems to be that if someone isn't responding to ads its because the ads are not aggressive enough, but this usually has the opposite effect - users can ignore simple text or banner ads quite easily and will think nothing of it. But obnoxious ads that blare out irritating sounds in an otherwise quiet environment or disrupt the flow of what you're trying to do, unskippable ads or those the user has to explicitly close/skip serve to irritate and can have the opposite effect - you might remember the product, but you now associate it with this annoyance and will actively avoid the product.

I've done that on many occasions, i see a product or brand in a supermarket and it reminds me of an obnoxious ad i saw before, so i buy one of their competitors instead.

Looking at news or other information related to a product doesn't mean you're intending to buy that product - you might already have that product and want to learn how to make better use of it etc.

But to answer the parent's question:

This would be search engines where you've openly declared that you're considering buying a product (eg by using the "shopping" option on google).
If i've performed a search for phones because i'm trying to buy a new phone i'm happy to see advertisements (which are marked as such) and reviews of phones, as well as obviously related things like cell service or phone cases etc.

And please for the love of god respect the accept-language header and serve results in the language(s) my browser has already told you i can read. Just because i happen to be sitting in the airport lounge of dubai airport doesn't mean i can now read arabic, i'm transiting on the way to somewhere else and my browser has explicitly told you via the accept-language header that i only accept english.

And don't try to assume someone's location based on the source address the query came from, people travel, use vpns and geoip information is unreliable anyway. Let the user tell you where they intend to buy something. Many countries offer tax free shopping for tourists so of course we will want to benefit from this.

And the search engines don't need to keep huge amounts of information about a user to do this - the search query tells you exactly what the user is looking for, stick to that.
If you want to save a user profile then make it voluntary - for instance the user can declare that they don't like brand X and don't want to see their products, this is even useful information for the vendors as they can learn what they're doing wrong and perhaps correct it.

Work on sure..
Not take advantage of larger screens no.

A well written site/application will scale well to a larger screen, or provide a completely separate UI that's suited to such a screen and its associated input methods.

Nothing is free, you pay for it one way or another wether you like it or not.

Remember when ISPs offered email accounts and webhosting space as a part of the subscription plan? Imagine a return to that where ISPs can compete to offer such value-add services, or you can buy from a dedicated supplier, or you can self host etc. Much better than a system that's centrally controlled by a single entity/

It breaks the business model of most centralised social media and services like gmail etc, but that's probably a good thing.

Remember when people had email accounts that came with their ISP subscription? You're a paying customer with rights, not a single member of a large herd of cattle being led to the slaughter.

Social media can work the same way, there are federated systems where you can self-host, or you can choose from a number of different providers that will host it for you.

On every mouse with a scroll wheel i've seen it was possible to press the scroll wheel, which every os ii can think of interpreted as a press of the middle button.

No they don't.
It might appear to have a single button, but the entire area is sensitive to touch so pressing on either side results in a different action, with the default settings making it behave like a traditional multi button mouse. The mouse also supports swiping - up and down like a traditional scroll wheel, or side to side as well.
Same with their touchpads - they look like a flat surface with no buttons, but they can behave like any number of buttons depending where you press, how hard you press, multi finger touch and gestures etc, and it's all pretty configurable.
