CUBOT Cell Phones - all less than $150. Many Xiaomi models including their competitors Oppo and Vivo have numerous models in the $50 - $150 price range. My own phone, a Xiaomi 2015 model (with microSD) is still about $150.
the rich just hoard all the money and pull up the ladder behind them.
What a perfect analogy.
Reminds me of the Kennedy's. Get stinking rich by defrauding the stock market at the top of the 20th century. Then go work for the govt to regulate the stock market and prevent anyone else from doing the same. Seems like the status quo for capitalism in North America with corporate consolidation
[Apple] outlined manufacturing plans and asked for financial incentives.
Apple: We'd like to make more money selling iCrap to India. India: That sounds great! Apple: Give us money first.
... 3 years later... India: It appears you owe 3% taxes on the locally sourced 30% hardware. If you would kindly remit payment... Apple: According to our Irish subsidiary, we don't have any sales in India.
Every phone I've looked at that has dual-sims, allows for one slot to be a micro-sd. Apple ISinnovating - as they sure as hell aren't gonna let the peons buy a cheap 256GB microSD... you can't even buy an iPhone with more than 128GB of storage. So they'll tie a radio to each slot and cripple it as a storage option... awesome.
Seems to me this would be better|easier solved via a custom SD-card, as opposed to the camera itself.
I'm sure Sandisk, Samsung and co could come up with a Compact-Flash or SD-Card that was more akin to a SSD (with TPM-like chip).
Sounds more like the technically-challenged thinking something is a good idea. Like how so many people are replacing all their old audio-gear to get something with bluetooth... when you could just add a $20 bluetooth dongle to your existing kit.
For your usage perhaps. For our usage, Project-Fi is ~$45-$55/mos for two lines, w/ 2GB of data --- and unused data which is usually 1GB or more is refunded every cycle.
You also only need a Pixel or Nexus for SIM registration. Most phones seem to work fine with the service otherwise. I used an 2-3yo Nexus to register, and then put the SIM into my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro Prime (along with an 80GB microSD).
Or Android|Samsung et al, could use the damnable headphone jack for a digital out, so we wouldn't be stuck with crap OTG for audio that prevents charging your device when getting an audio digital-out line to bypass the phones $5 on-board $5 DAC.
See 3.5mm to coaxial.
Step 1: Cancel Cable bundle.
Step 2: $14. Add Hulu, no commercial add-on.
Step 3: $12. Add Netflix.
Step 4: $1. Add HBO Now after Game-of-thones is almost done for the season. Watch GOT 12 episodes in 4 weeks. Cancel HBO Now.
Step 5: $15: Add Google Play Music (family) for commercial free You Tube Red.
Optional Step 6: Add Vonage if you need a home phone.
Montly TOTAL (Incl. $50 ISP) $112
Even if you include Amazon Prime in there, ~$10/month. It's still only half of our previous $225 bundled cable bill.
Advantage, you spend far less time brain-dead in front of the boob tube.
Addenum:
Get a used Nexus phone. Sign up for Project-Fi. Monthly Cell plan for two people: $35 + $10/GB of data. Unused data refunded every month.
Hatred fills your whole body. You’re sick and tired of humanity’s worthless existence. The only thing that matters is your gun and the pure Armageddon that you want to unleash.
You will go out for a hunt, and you will clear the New York outskirts of all humans with cold blood. You will shoot, you will hurt, you will kill, and you will die. There are no rules, there is no compassion, no mercy, no point in going back. You are the lord of life and death now - and you have full control over the lives of worthless human scum.
You will also run, you will need to think, you will need to hide and fight back when armed forces come to take you down. You will have no mercy for them, because they dare to stand in your way.
Only brutality and destruction can cleanse this land. Only a killing spree will make you die spectacularly and go to hell.

Of course, shit like that is ok. Shit like that coming from Europeans - just fine. Fucking Hypocrites - don't say something bad on twitter though.
Except... all those emails contain discussion about a Political Fundraiser Gathering. There's little but tenuous claims linking Podesta to anything improper. If you actually look at all the supposed evidence, yeah it comes off like little more than a nutters vendetta.
Whether an official investigation would uncover anything is unknown... it still wouldn't LINK to Hillary.
Which other Western Countries? Canada and Mexico? Well then, you are probably correct, as you wont find many non-tourist minorities in Mexico... and Canada is where all those mistreated minorities flee to.
Hacker News is decent as far as civil intelligent discourse goes, albeit not much "regular news" to be found there, and the comment layout is such that it makes following a discussion thread more difficult than it need be.
Soylent News is barely even worth your time. The same clique posting and being upvoted, with more than a few of said clique posting the most bogus crap - that gets upvoted... that you can't vote down (unless you're in the regular clique) - even though everyone has 5 mod points/day.
Back before Slashdot was sold the first time, it always seemed (to me) that Slashdot almost always had the right mix of Odd News|Tech News|World News
Today - Slashdot is far too focused on Global Warming and the minutiae of American Politics.

I researched this the last time Evernote bumped their prices by 40%+
Pim Software
Notes Organizer - Google Search
They all have better pricing than Evernote. Efficcess has a Lifetime license for 99.95, as well as Business|Enterprise options.
Most of the purely free options that I skimmed through don't support rich-text or embedding images.

Seems to work just fine on my touch-screen. The only thing that *requires* a mouse|trackpad|pointer is "Drag and Drop".

The different between the the Divergent movies and Hunger Games.
And which of those isn't the dime store trashy novel?
i highly doubt it. No one else (except maybe China?) has problems with (and laws prohibiting) nudity like the Americans do.
Yep. We are in the process of moving all our servers to DO.
DigitalOcean's Linux/BSD images are just fine thanks.

UTF-8 support was one of the first things SoylentNews fixed. So there's little excuse for it anymore.
I imagine the root cause is due to so much of the backend running through deprecated Perl code that is barely \\A\\N\\S\\I aware.
Thanks AC,. Your opinion is so highly valued. I have learned the error of my ways. Thanks for the grand insight.
Something like this Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, Repeater, Wall Plug w/ Ethernet Port.
Then run the IOT on the child network.
That's pretty much what I've done for most of my device purchases: pick a few specs that it MUST have ( >= ).
Phone: Android. Micro-SD, 3GB of Ram, less than $200.
Laptops: AMD, AMD, must be able to upgrade|replace: battery, HD|SSD, RAM (to at least 16GB); preferably less than $1000.
