Leading in 5G deployments yet cannot make a 5G phone?

Hmm these patents are filed in 2019, but Apple Taptic Engine launched in 2015.

If you really hate Apple, you should just buy a different brand, there is nobody forcing you guying Apple devices.

This article is written almost entirely from the seller's point of view, of course seller does not want to pay any fees. Some of the claims that buyer get same level of protection without chargeback is hilarious, it might be true that the author get special treatment as a foreigner in China from the government (the 12315 statement), but that's far from a typical customer experience.

"Chinese consumer law also gives buyers stronger remedies when a merchant knowingly commits fraud, including damages above the purchase price."

There is no small claim court or equivalent in China, 12315 is likely the closest but they can only provide recommendations, they cannot freeze assets or issue demands like a court. In absence of chargeback, the buyer owns the burden of gather evidence and proof, which usually includes paid test reports from trusted government agencies that the item is defect. In practice, a seller ships junk or nothing often get to keep the money and close the shop before you can get the money back.

iPhones sold in China have that in settings, you can block both WLAN(Wi-Fi) and Cellular data per app. Why that turned out to be a nightmare is a different story

Assume the numbers are correct, Pi spent $100 for a PCB with some components; Neo's hardware includes keyboard, 13 inch display, aluminum chassis, battery, charger. You remove the costs of the above from that $500.

that’s not fully true though, ROMOSS is the brand that sold power banks caught fire, however all of those were CCC certified.

The chip will still be working after 24PetWatch is gone, you can enroll the same serial to more providers i.e. AKC Reunite.

The microchip stores nothing but a serial number. I don’t quite understand the design that you would need a vendor to maintain a database between the serial and owner information, why not just store owner phone number like a traditional dog tag?

Sony didn’t give it to the restaurant; instead the restaurant purchased it during Japan’s economic boom.

Kind of wild and a little emotional to think that two robot companies off Route 128 ended up with such different fates — Kiva Systems became Amazon Robotics, while iRobot’s Amazon deal was blocked by Lina Khan and now it’s being sold off to a foreign company.

You know Lina Khan lead FTC blocked the deal, but if you check the thread, huge amount of folks aren’t aware of this fact. As an owner of 2 iRobot Roomba I feel so “protected” now, they may become a brick or spy of a foreign company.
