  • SD cards are awesome, because a high quality 256GB SD card costs about $30, while a 256GB memory upgrade is at least $100 with no option to transfer when you get a new phone.

    Cloud storage is pretty expensive and only as fast as your internet speed is, so for a lot of people that is not really that feasible. Especially considering that some have data caps as well.

    3.5mm jack is just more comfortable to use for a lot of people, especially when they have multiple source devices and want to switch between them. I have BT headphones and it is way easier and more reliable to just replug the wire than to go through the BT disconnect reconnect dance.

    The issue with dongles is that you’ll have to find the correct aux dongle, some phones support analog passthrough, others require active dongles and so on

    Coal and nuclear both suck at changing output quickly. For a quick ramp up/down, you need hydro or gas generators. Hydro takes only a few minutes to ramp up while most (US) coal plants take more than 12 hours.

    There is no excuse for still using coal power.

    Get yourself a government funded (well, taxpayer funded) weather forecast page. Quite accurate forecasts for weather, rain, cloudiness (including simulated radar models). Also radar images for cloudiness and rain. And free historic data. Without ads.

    But I guess that sounds too communism
