Yes, well sewing machines are very complex these days. I always found them

The daft thing is that apparently even Fridges in some cases are computer
controlled these days. My Remmington Shaver says it has a computer
controlled digital motor. Certainly it runs at the same speed for a very
long time then cuts out when it needs charging, so it obviously has some
kind of batter management system inside it.
