There's another point worth noting. If this ever makes it to mass production, I'm reasonably sure the factory won't be using recycled packing peanuts salvaged from Amazon orders. Instead, the factories will get deliveries of newly-manufactured polystyrene (or whatever) to use as feedstock, pre-formed into whatever shape is the best fit for the machinery. There's just too much chance of contamination from consumer-recycled packaging materials to risk damaging a high-energy electronics assembly line. Imagine, for example, a cat who thought the box with the packaging materials would make a great litterbox, and somebody "helpfully" still sending it to recycling.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
