Like that time Keurig used a very special shade of orange on the lid of their pods as DRM?
Applying power by itself doesn’t keep SSDs from degrading like DRAM though. It’s up to the manufacturer to design scrubbing into the controller to correct errors on infrequently accessed data before it’s too far gone.
Plasma 6 and Wayland are working great under Tumbleweed for me on my 2-in-1 laptop, but there’s still no usable virtual keyboard package like Maliit in Factory.
That’s why many modern SoCs have a smaller core for realtime in addition to larger application processors. TI Sitara (Beaglebone) has 2 fast custom arch coprocessors for IO with access to most pins and the ability to DMA into the AP’s address space. All Raspberry Pis up through Pi4 run a proprietary ThreadX runtime on a graphics processor (VPU) to handle bootstrapping the ARM APs, housekeeping, and a large part of the IO.

Then they trip balls, see their life flash before their eyes, and become a space baby. Could be worse.

The C64 had a notoriously garbage power supply that would eventually cook the machine regardless of how clean your line power is.
A large green pushbutton with a Molly guard labeled “OK” I found in a scrap pile behind the physics building.

I have an HL-2270DW and the toner low light comes on well before prints start washing out. Fortunately the toner life is tracked by a plastic gear on the cartridge, and it takes just a minute to roll it back. When it does run out, good third party replacements are under $20.
