Thanks!

1: True, although it also limits the addressable memory and the typical 4GB limit seems less these days. I’m thinking of large apps like Figma running in the browser.

2: Will existing 32-bit WASM binaries break on WASM64 engines or does the binary have a flag for compatibility?

Why is a relatively new technology like WASM being limited to 32-bit pointers? Why repeat the same mistake again?

> Web is 32-bit. Your 64-bit structs will break. This was the root cause of most of my bugs. WASM is 32-bit address space, pointers are 4 bytes not 8.

I need this without knowing before that I needed this. Makes me question why this wasn’t implemented years ago. Anyway, great.

Because I lose the manufacturer-provided five-year-guarantee if I don't.

I just called the shop to replace the perfectly fine e-Call battery in my soon four year old Hyundai car. 250€ to change a battery that has a ten year lifespan. I am not allowed to replace it on my own as it would invalidate the five year long guarantee provided by the manufacturer (not the one by law). Why is this stuff not considered as well?

Also curious whether the "specialized devices" exemptions are AND requirements. Even if those are AND, wouldn’t smartphone manufacturers try to satisfy all three of them?

Also beautiful in the most recent version at https://www.berkshirehathaway.com:

The ad in the footer of the page is the same ever since.

Note: not meant to mock, I find this truly amazing.
