Batteries have one advantage over over supplies: extremely low noise. Even an good LDO will bump up the noise floor, and a cheap lcsc part will do so too. Plus you's want a reasonably low dropout and quiescent current, which also increases price. Maybe 10ct in volume is reasonable for such a part - and yes, that will absolutely eat the margin

What is your target audience or use case? Because the obvious choice would be illegal items, which are excluded by your TOS. And while privacy enthusiasts are willing to spend extra, your asking price is too steep for casual use.

I noticed the pricing page is entirely dollar nominated, with the only payment option listed "cash on delivery", listing a bunch of typical payment options. Monero is only mentioned as a feature on the usage and FAQ tab, and both are easy to miss. Initially I wondered why you were posting here if you only accept paypal and such.

Nobody can buy land in china, it is only leased from the government for up to 70 years for residential usage (less for other purposes). Calling the tofu-dreg building on top of this "owning a home" is disingenuous at best and deceitful at worst. Why do people buy homes anyway instead of renting? Because all other options to invest are even worse and it is literally their only option.

I hope you don't tolerate how mega corps "sell" you shit like digital media or IoT devices only to later change the terms of sale and steal it back from you, because you never really owned it. Don't tolerate the same shit if a government does it to you.

Don't dry filament in the oven. Simply put the filament spool on the print bed, set it to 60°C (PLA) or 70°C (PETG) and cover it with a cardboard box to trap the heat. Poke 3 holes in the box to lead damp air escape. Let it cook for 2-4h, then flip the spool and wait for another 2-4h. Store in air tight container with some silica gel to keep it dry.

None of the high end chips were made in Chinese fabs, and the device barely qualifies as a "laptop" besides the form factor. For some bizarre reason they used a USB5744 USB 3.2 5Gb/s hub chip, which tells me the following:

  • Their CPU doesn't even have multiple USB3 interfaces
  • Their CPU doesn't even have a single 10GB/s USB interface, which has been standard for may years
  • They don't really care about using local parts only, because they have alternative products like the GL3590

Unless We get better close up tear down photos, this devices primary purpose is propaganda

People who have to use the best tools, use the best tools. In other news: water confirmed to be wet

Good advertising on your side

The minimum security deposit is small enough to not be a problem in most cases. If you give away anything of value online, put a public donation address alongside it. If you don't you can join #getyourfirstxmr:monero.social and offer a low value deal in exchange for eg. gift cards.

There is a UFS-II specification and even a PCIe version specifically for micro SD cards. It was all planned out, and it would have been trivial to tell consumers: "Yo need card with more contacts as shown in picture". But no, the biggest manufacturer of flash storage is samsung, and they decided they'd rather sell higher storage capacity phones as a premium. Easy to do when you're the second biggest manufacturer of of phones and apple already paved the way.

Nice list. I chuckled at the fact that the bitcoin section does not recommend bitcoin :) We're also here on lemmy, if you ever need help or just want to say hi
