In this case, the loss is very one-sided, most people/countries benefit from this.

Most of this fear of "something bad could happen if you buy a device with replaced parts" is due to manufacturers making it hard for people to get the original replacement part and service the device. They do this because it incre

I get your point. However, different people want different things. Some people could not care less about manufacturer's updates, but care a lot about hardware durability and price.

But people think they are. Why is that? Maybe their devices do have some genuine selling points?

This site and other similar ones are governed by algorithms and people who intentionally push some topics and some trending patterns down or away. Not really a reason to get concerned. You can use link 'new' in the header above to

You've got a point about Android manufacturers not bothering with supporting their models for long. At the same time, Apple does make it complicated to do cheap repairs. Why would that be... they have to keep the brand status... and al

Why not? It is a big company, with different teams having somewhat different priorities. It is perfectly reasonable for the upper management to leave the tech department supporting the devices for a long time, and thus maintain and increase

I would want exactly this. Lately I got an older model of a smartphone. It was used to present the product, so I'm the first owner. It's ok but the internal battery sucks. Original batteries aren't some magical spec devices t

Of course I have no idea about the real capabilities of that 6GHz equipment to use different bands in case of interference, that is most probably classified info. But economically, it would be silly to have all military equipment in contine

In the frame of the orbiting station, there is the tidal force, which is proportion to distance from the point where the rope is fixed on the station. But even if he was 100m away, tidal force would be like 7 grams. So tidal force can'

That may be hard. Some bugs are elevated to features and then become part of the design.

For irrationals, the problem with infinite sequence of digit 9 does not occur. So for any given irrational (given its definition), any digit is determined by this definition, because any irrational number can be approximated with arbitrary

Irrationals have a unique decimal representation in the mathematical sense: given a definition such as $x^2 = 2 $, any digit of the decimal expansion of $x$ can be determined.

Actually we have those! Cheap migrant workers from eastern Europe make lots of things move here but their choices are limited. We have protections for them at least on paper, and together with low pay that's still better for them than

American companies in general have a lot of visible and objectionable protections, that is true. But your example, except for maybe Amazon, doesn't really exemplify this - these companies are successful for various other reasons such

Thanks for explanation. That was surely a bad experience. Luckily there are ways to overcome this incompatibility, such as increasing the timeout value for a drive in the OS, see the Linux wiki https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/i

Thanks for explaining. The kernel wiki describes an easy solution to this.
