Nothing, but making it harder (i.e. blocking bots) reduces the likelihood of it being abused.

Bizarre to me as well, but it's obviously a use case difference.. I wonder what they are doing? I have found it to be excellent for my tasks (reverse engineering 6809, SH-2, FPGAs, etc).

Lets be realistic.. components meaning 0805 capacitors and resistors, small digital ICs. I can almost guarantee those aren't made in the US... and are WAY cheaper on a site like LCSC.

For PCB quotes yes, but this kind of thing can be gamed by competitors. I think this is why there isn't great price info for many brick and mortar and online shops now..

Kind of says that internal China competition is more intense than from America. I think there is both, but I would say it isn't like the "whole state" is backed against "us" in AI.

Over maybe not. However, it does increase competition possibilities, right? Both of them have a pretty good head start though!

I think it's reached commodity status instead of community... 3D printing I mean. At that point only thing that matters is ease of use, price, and quality of the result. People who are not _in_ the community but use the tool.

I wonder if they will come to their senses and revert the decision? It does seem a bit boneheaded to drop Linux support on the Basic tier... What actual reason would they need to do that?
