I'm surprised that eMMC hasn't seen more of a price drop off like SSDs, mSD and other flash storage. The OrangePi PC+ does include 8GB of eMMC, but I think that was the largest they could get for a cheap price...

Flagships have been skyrocketing in price and are losing marketshare to the midrange segment, which almost always has removable storage, and often has a swappable battery.

Body shops would be able to bring in many more workers, and supress wages further. The dearth of middle income jobs in the USA is in part caused by these body shops flooding the domestic market with questionable talent, driving down wages a

It does seem a bit out of proportion, News Corp bought a business that proceeded to sink. I think Peertube and other Fediverse stacks like Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed & Lemmy will continue to bleed users from more traditional sites over

Six kids and two parents surviving on one regular income could buy a 3 bedroom house in the past. Not great living conditions for those 8 people, but housing did not used to be such an expensive proposition to buy or rent.

Not abusing workers and not turning Google into an extension of the DoD & Chinese Surveillance Infrastructure is a fringe political agenda? That seems fundamentally baked into Google's old motto, "Do no evil". Microsoft&#

It hardly "had to be done", and in this process that you've claimed had to be done, many of the best and brightest have escaped the large adtech behemoth. The organization is a husk of itself, unable to maintain services for

Apple Maps has a deep queue for reports about map inaccuracies, your minimum wait time is a few days 98 times out of 100. This is fixable, but it requires even more staffing than Apple already has working on Apple Maps (which is most of the

Random I/O is much better on eMMC than MicroSD, which is very noticeable when using a SBC as a desktop.

These user reports take weeks to months to get triaged, making many rather useless.

Apple has taken good stances on most privacy issues, but Apple Maps is poorly run. The main failure is not having something akin to a Google Scout, whereby iOS users could submit info about businesses and streets that lack data. Apple inste

This is part of the attraction of alternative boards like the OrangePi PC+, for $32.50 I get a board with fast eMMC, a case and a 5v 3A charger that is all known to work well together, with the downside being it takes 2 weeks to turn up fro

Perhaps too many small dental practices though (or there is a massively underserved need? There seems to be a new dental practice every week in Seattle...).

The battery is a user changeable part on most mid-range and low end phones. The point of this predatory pricing tactic is to force owners of phones with sub-$200 in value to upgrade, rather than potentially waste half (or more) of the phone

This reminds me of CorePOS's touchscreen interface. What do you use for Credit/Debit acceptance? If that has yet to be fully integrated, take a peek at Pax & Dejavoo, I would avoid DataCap like the plauge tho. Some Pax binding

A lithium ion battery doesn't cost anywhere near that much, its either poor design and/or profiteering on the device manufacturers part to charge that much for a $15 battery to be replaced.

The HP x360 with a Ryzen 2500u is rather good, and can be had for ~$400 on eBay. It did take a full year for all the bugs to be sorted out (random kernel panics & freezing), these same bugs were problematic in Windows 10 tho. Neither OS
