I think it’s just the difference between the US and parliamentary democracies. In the US elections are on a fixed schedule, but with a parliament, you can have snap elections with little notice. In the US, everyone knows when the next election will be and have more time to plan/campaign

Generally. They’re not add on devices. Would be cool if manufacturers had an incentive to make one but there’re too many models out there to make something universal. It would probably be custom if you could even do it at all

Give it some time and maybe space fracking will be profitable enough to make Titan worth going after. Set up a couple liquifying stations in orbit and ship it back home.

I remember reading about someone doing this exact thing every few years, though it’s less common than someone blowing up their hand.

The customer is always right in matters of taste.

I’ve had a couple relatives/friends recognize upgradability was a higher priority a couple years later, but others are still using them or since changed to something less powerful. I think I still have a relative running one of the weird Intel nucs with AMD graphics.

So is that $10M per person or family or family generation? I think the part where things start to spiral is when someone has a few kids who themselves have a few kids each and then add in the spouses. Even at 2 kids per generation and only the first Gen kids have spouses and you’re up to 10 people or $100M.

If these exemptions are read only as affirmative defenses then could a police officer who reasonably suspected you owned or possessed a cell phone (because they saw you get into your car holding it, or using it while parked) could pull you over, cite you, and force you to prove it was in your pocket?

ORC § 4511.204 B (13) A person storing an electronic wireless communications device in a holster, harness, or article of clothing on the person’s body.

Why do YOU need it? No clue. But I can see people without technical know-how using these as a little home theater PC. Or really anyone wanting a smaller form factor. I’ve had friends and relatives get nucs because they want something really small form factor and don’t care about the upgradability cause they’d just buy a newer model 4-5 years down the line.
