It is not quite true to say that Boris Johnson had yet to trouble his administration. In 2013, the Garden Bridge project was beginning to get underway.
Remember 2013? This coffee machine does: If I could turn back time – I'd reboot this PC
While Marty McFly's Delorean remains the stuff of fiction, the power of Bork could allow you to experience 2013 while avoiding the disappointing cup of coffee that is 2020. Imagine, if you can, what it was like back in 2013. The UK was flush with success, having managed to pull off the Olympics without making a dreadful hash …

Re: Change the battery
And the date of the BIOS build doesn't mean that's when the machine was built either. Depending on how often a new BIOS is released to production, it could easily be 6-9 months that the boards were produced with that BIOS revision and date, and just as long or longer that they were on the suppliers shelves before they ended up and the machine manufactures.

Re: “Industrial coffee machines”
Home appliances may not always be the best choice. Mrs N bought an IoT bean-to-cup coffee machine that has the world's worst control software, app and security. Constantly rebooting it now sits unconfigured and offering anyone walking past the house the chance to connect to its open wifi hotspot and brew up. Smarter coffee my Arsène Wenger.

Re: “Industrial coffee machines”
I'm allergic to coffee but I remember going round a school friends house and they made coffee in a percolator on the hob. His dad ran the shop in town where they roasted and sold coffee and expensive coffee making machines long before the modern fad started. He reckoned it was all a fad then but it kept him and his family well fed and housed. I dont think he'd tried ocelot shit though.

A tea Ern'?
I worked at a place in the '80s, where the lads in the workshop acquired a retired mil-spec 5 gallon tea urn.
They plumbed it in, fitted it with a float switch and a temperature guage so that you knew if the temperature was at tea level.
All the makings were next to it and everyone chipped in each week for the costs.
It never went wrong and was as quick as standing by an automat while it gurgles and clunks it's way to producing something that tastes nothing like your selection.

Re: The elephant in the room
It's been documented that my memory is abysmal before application of the Black Go Juice That Appeases The Beast, so perhaps they reckoned in their similar way "Lets give the machine as much grunt as we can, so that the users don't give as much grunt as they can..."
(In all probability, it was most likely an accounting idea. Build the machine as cheap as they can & charge through the nose. "Oh, software is slow? We can speed it up, that's an extra X a months. Cheers!" Interface is probably Java based anyway and we all know how memory efficient that is!*)
