Effect can also be a verb. You can effect change, and thus affect people's lives.

Why not just use this one? It's not like it's teeming with content.

Most ACs nowadays can do both. And are actually more efficient at heating.

I was referring to electrocaloric, and Stirling engine heat pumps.

Pointless discussion, but they're all heat pumps. Refrigeration cycle is the name of the physical process. Most heat pumps make use of that thermodynamic principle, but there are some niche ones that don't. But people don't care about that, and so find it more useful to call them by what their purpose is, and that varies locally.

I never see refrigerators being called AC either, and they're air-to-air heat pumps too. People just call things what they want regardless of the technical details.

Yeah but that means not everyone is switching to EVs, which is the point of the person you're replying to.

But can it be solved by throwing less sensors at the problem? Cause that's what he's been doing. Removing sensors from the newer versions that were in the older ones.
