Luckily, there are other ways of watching their content without having to pay them.

The speed usually increases with capacity, but this drive uses HAMR instead of CMR, so it will be interesting to see what effect that has on the speed. The fastest HDDs available now can max out SATA 3 on sequential transfers, but they use dual actuators.

You can’t get SSDs that big except for some extremely expensive enterprise drives.

I’m very glad I didn’t buy one of their printers. The RFID tag thing was enough to keep me from buying anything from them. This is even worse.

Video hosting is too expensive for a platform that’s not run by a big company.

The web interfaces use SDRs. They can listen to an entire band at one time rather than just a single station.

You will only be able to listen to transmissions that are within range of a web SDR. They work great for HF since that propagates a long ways when the band is open. For VHF and up, you will likely need a local receiver unless there happens to be a web SDR near you that covers the band you want to listen to.

The web SDRs may have better antennas than you do and they are probably in a place with much less RFI than you. You can use them to listen to far away places.

LiFePO4 batteries are safer and harder to ignite, but they can still go into thermal runaway and can burn. If a fire started in a battery that big, it would still spread and it wouldn’t be practical to extinguish it.

It looks cool, but I’m worried about durability. It doesn’t even make the screen that much bigger.

That’s still significantly better than having no markings at all.

A decent lipo can charge at 5C, but it significantly reduces the cycle life. They are claiming 1000 cycles at that charge rate.

The lack of physical media will just drive more people to piracy.

The Motorola DynaTAC. They had a big Ni-Cd battery that is also the back of the case. You would need often need two batteries to get through a whole day, so they were made to be easily swapped.

So they can sell you a new phone instead of a replacement battery.

Swapable batteries were common on cell phones in the 80’s and 90’s except no fancy machine was needed.

It’s very rare and you certainly won’t find it on anything affordable. I wish they would start putting DisplayPort inputs on TVs. They had VGA inputs back when TVs had more than 2 inputs on them.

HDMI only won on TVs. DisplayPort is the clear winner on PCs.
