There are apparently products based on the CM (Ableton Move?), not sure how they sell these at a profit.

Even if it were reliably available in such quantities, I'm not sure Pi's pricing would make sense in the context of any mass produced product.

Hardware engineers making half of what software engineers make. A reminder of the stark difference between the two job markets.

Product sense, design thinking, understanding of the customer/market, knowing what to build.

This. Americans value high skilled migration less than Europeans do. The proof is in the pudding (ie immigration policies)

No I can't tell the difference other than the colors. Sayls have optional features including lumbar support ; adjustable armrests.

In my experience, HM Sayls are easy to find secondhand. However, you'll probably need to dismantle the chair to add grease to the mechanisms.

Cheap Linux workstations. It wasn't just the obvious price advantage, but despite Solaris' best efforts, Linux was still superior, because people could learn it at home.

Are you sure ? Actually the quantities reported are only a bit more than a smoke alarm's worth. https://tech.lgbt/@tryst@meow.social/112537465686977310

Fair enough, however if your top idea is to start a web design firm 2024, this indicates that you perhaps haven't been exposed to more promising problems in any other industry. Maybe taking a job for a couple of years, in some field yo
