Do you have a source for that special exemption? Or even just keywords I can search for?

I think octopart.com does most of what you're suggesting. I would be interested to see how you could improve on it.

This confused me for a bit. The point of the system is to prevent energy from being reflected or radiated from a surface. Systems like this have been around for a while (https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-cooling-systems/radi...), the news here is that this works with temperatures below the dew point because they have solved the condensation issues.

Thanks for sharing this, I've been looking for options for an active wall paper that doesn't passivly wreck my performance. I look forward to giving this a try.

cool, thank you very much.

> Forcing a company to have a diagnostic tool or team to identify a problem you might not have them fix is silly IMO.

As a counter point, OBD-2 works and everyone can use it.

As a counter to that point - unless you're willing to spend mega-$$$ on a high-end scan tool, you won't be able to read all of the OBD-2 codes.

Even with such a scan tool - there may still be certain codes that are "manufacturer only" readable.

The more I learn about this the more disappointed I am. In my own experience the standard codes have always been enough to show me what needed fixing. I'm not a mechanic though so my range of experience with it isn't that large.

In this case the only thing that is changing is a fault state and standard circuit components, not the code running on the device or the device being used. As long as the components are within spec the only problem could be environmental damage from the device being unsealed. I agree with some of the points you made, but not in the context of the previous post.
