Ignoring for a moment that an 'unloaded' speed test proves nothing, a direct drive (dinner plate) motor is not precluded from being rated at 250W: https://ebikes.ca/laser-250w-power-rating.html

A wise move, IMO. I have removed the reference to your original post. I am not a member of the Police. My post was not an attack on you. It was simply advice to a fellow forum member in order to prevent a potential issue for you in the future. I feel my comparison was fair - it compared two...

If these new regulations come to fruition, surely DJI's response will be to limit the output to 750w, slap a 250w sticker on it and offer it to the global market as indestructibly over-engineered. I can see it now... "DJI - Built better than Bosch".

Yes. A global standard of 750w max output would kill demand for DJI's offering stone dead. This is nothing more than an attempt to shore up EU manufacturing. I'm pro EU and can see this as clear as day.

I'll explain it all: EU Protectionism.

Grin began experimenting with potting their batteries around 10 years ago and made them available commercially around 8 years ago, IIRC: https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threads/potting-batteries-thoughts-and-experiments.71125/

A local legend. RIP Jimmy. Cem, if you're reading this, condolences to you and your family. Your dad touched a lot of our lives in a small (and sometimes big) way.

I didn't know that, but continuing to research the matter elsewhere is very interesting reading. I can't believe Michael Bond never thought of entering into manufacturing himself!

What's wrong with that? Nothing. Sort of. Clarkson's mother made the most of an opportunity available at the time to make her/their wealth, but it couldn't happen today. Anybody attempting this now would be met with an angry lawsuit due to blatant IP theft.

Now now. Let's not let mere facts spoil a perfectly serviceable hoax.

IMO, EncroChat was brought down as a result of poor OpSec. The biggest flaw was having centralised servers located in France.

It's a common story; a blocked DPF cleared with a good old 'Itallian tune-up'. Did the stealership not advise a spirited drive when they quoted you?

Is much of this even relevant anymore? I mean, who really uses the cellular network (non data) for messaging and voice calls nowadays. Most people I know use end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp for communications purposes.

It needn't be a show-stopper, as issues like this can simply be engineered out at the design stage. Physical brakes could be programmed to be periodically engaged instead of regen in order to keep the braking surfaces clean. It could even be rolled out as an over-the-air update.

I'm not trying to create an argument. I'm just saying that you're misrepresenting the risk as being unique to air fryers; IMO, it is not. Besides, if an air fryer is to be the death of me, I'll have more than offset the loss of life due to having spent much less time cooking!
