Congratulations, I spilled some coffee reading this!

He does a fairly lengthy discussion of this in the video and describes quite precisely why a FOC is the best option in this application.

Do you have any meaningful input on this, or do you just want to continue talking about other hypothetical scenarios where FOC might not be the best option?

it was nat that part of the comment I was refering to

Yeah I have a few lithium batteries (EG from a laptop or other device – nothing controversial) and can’t find any sensible way to properly dispose of them in my local area.

The local tip took a couple of things with batteries inside (eg toothbrush) but it didn’t seem like they had any real mechanism for dealing with them, they were just kinda throwing them in the small appliances bin and ignoring the battery issue.

there is also an company where people can rent out their own gpus, if i’m not mistaken a H100 can be rented for US$1/hour there

Needless to say that all transistor manufacturers tell you to avoid this.
Nevertheless it works. I’ve used this trick back then when semiconductors were expensive, so you
tried to use as few as possible. I once made a blinking LED hose with several of these circuits, and it worked for years.
