- Rinzler89 3y agoYour parent should really check out the BOM on his iPhone or MacBook before complaining about $270 being "monstrously expensive" hardware. And all those gadgets benefit from high volume discounts on parts, decades of sunk R&D costs and the volume economies of scale, assembled by sweatshop workers, not niche low volume production runs for enthusiasts like this one. The price of Pizza at your local non-fast-food restaurant is also significantly higher than that of the bulk raw ingredients it's made of. Now also try adding the R&D costs of inventing the Pizza to that see where that gets you.
- voidUpdate 3y agoshe doesn't have an iPhone or a MacBook because I do think they're expensive. I buy my phones used on eBay and cringe if they cost more than £50
- Rinzler89 3y agoHow you feel about your SO's phone pricing is besides the point. The point was that you don't understand the distinction between the retail price of a product and raw BOM costs. Please read the comments here trying to educate you.
- voidUpdate 3y agowhat do you mean about my SO? I was referring to myself
- Rinzler89 3y agoSorry but you did refer to yourself at the third person as "she", so how was anyone supposed to know?
- voidUpdate 3y agoI was correcting "his iPhone or MacBook"
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoI still don't get it. Everyone here is male. Right?
- Rinzler89 3y agoCould be, but here I identify as strong independent Asian woman.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoCool. I identify as a giant robot super monster cat.
