Seems ok for the 'existing financial system' to do it. Governments can just do a bailout when it collapses. I think we will continue to see these parallels. The only reason people accept the existing financial system is that they

If you have a central entity that can generate key pairs then they may as well be running a database. It doesnt achieve decentralisation at all. It has nothing to do with anonymity: anything based on identity is broken because it has an ent

If it's such a big problem, and everyone knows some of these "extremists", then doesn't that mean it's mainstream enough that they aren't extremists, by definition? Or it is now defined as diverging from the vi

Oh yeah seems I saw an incorrect site, S5 was the last one with removable battery. Of course there are some tradeoffs but it just doesn't seem so significant that EVERY brand refuses to offer even one model with a removable battery. Th

>A non-removable battery allows for thinness you simply cannot get otherwise. I doubted this so I looked up dimensions. Samsung Galaxy S6 from 2015 is 6.8mm thick, with removable battery. S10 from 2019 is 7.8mm thick. So your theory does

Opposite for me, I still hold onto my old phone with replaceable battery for when my new phone dies and i cant swap in a fresh one. Still works after 7+ years

It seems to me that it is a purely propaganda that these things are mutually exclusive. Like how all smartphone manufacturers had phones that were fine with removable batteries, but then suddenly that was gone from literally every brand in

"The other issue is that developers will need to give Google their app signing key to export an AAB app as an APK. This gives Google quite a bit of power." Does iOS have the same situation? This sounds so bad that I would switch.

I think the execution was unbelievably incredible for most governments - if you take a cynical view that the goal was to manufacture consent to erode personal freedoms of the populace.

Transporting power is extremely expensive and infeasible over large distances. So power needs to be generated near industry or homes. However, cryptocurrency can be mined anywhere and then sold.
