They're saying the smartphone market is too homogenous and there should be more options so that people actually have a choice in the device they buy.

If it was outselling the main model every year then they’d keep making them small.
Why would they do that if they make more money on the main model? It's not like you have a choice in iOS manufacturers.
Maybe because people aren't given a choice as everything is dictated by the manufacturers.
Slapping 10 year old hardware into a phone with a small screen is a guaranteed way to make people not buy your phone but that doesn't mean people don't want small screens, headphone jacks, replaceable batteries, etc. They just don't want the garbage manufacturers lump in with these great features so that these phones don't cut into their high-margin device sales.
Replacing SMT components would fall outside of repairability for 99.99999% of people. More realistically things like ports, screens, and batteries should be replaceable since they're typically connected to the main board with cables. Furthermore ICs going back on a phone is probably extremely rare while the above mentioned items are very common failure points.
Unfortunately phone itself is not impressive especially from OS update standpoint
I swear to god manufacturers do this on purpose so that they can point to the low volume of sales and claim "See! People don't really want these features" when in reality they've just slapped a couple good features onto a completely dog shit device.
Imagine how many American citizens are sitting in these camps and will be deported to some other country as Trump tries to eliminate due process and rob them of their day in court.
The black cylindrical piece with the blue cap at the bottom in the front right of the extruder assembly that looks like it's hanging lower than everything else due to the perspective.
Ah yes the filament. I totally didn't think it was a close call with the bed probe crashing into the print until reading the body of your post.
Where are you finding it for so cheap? It's $60 in American dollarydoos.
Probably per room but most devices aren't going to draw a ton of power. If you have an antique microwave collection, that might be a problem though.
I'd say all those EU (and Canada) countries aren't striving to be the economic powerhouse that Japan is and China already has 1.5 billion people compared to Japan's 125 million. Plus most countries rely on immigration to make up the difference while I've heard (but maybe not true) that Japan is hard to immigrate to due to the disapproving culture toward foreigners.
What edge cases are you referring to? Screen size doesn't matter if the resolution is the same.
