Isn’t France going through protests at the moment? Destroying the food supply adds pressure, I don’t know enough to guess who did what.

I work with these controllers. Remote access is a lifesaver, makes remote diagnosis much easier, and lets us tell the client to move product before it spoils. Similar refrigeration controllera have had remote capability since the dial-up era, this isn’t a new trend.

With that said, these things need to be behind a VPN. I don’t care if the manufacturer promises their controller is safe for direct access from the internet.

It’s kinda like a factory assembly line, once these things get installed and the system is stable, the client gets allergic to any changes. I come across old control systems that have been running for 30+ years, once it’s in it’s in.

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models? I thought AI can replace software engineers now, shouldn’t the development cost of new models decrease over time?
