I really like my Nexus 5X. Using Project Fi so it uses Sprint or T-Mobile (or WiFi) - whichever has a stronger signal. Security updates from Google every month. And the power management is superb - usually end a day with 30 - 40% battery left.
Removable battery not that important (I carry an external, which I haven't needed), but a micro-sd card would have been nice.
I agree that its win-win. Still there are a few tech challenges:
1) Upload - forget streaming, way too much bandwidth (think 1000's of officers for a large city, not just ONE stream). Will require wired connection and daily time for each officer. 2) Storage - need to keep YEARS of data for on-going and potential court cases. 3) Search and retrieval
The larger server has four spinning drives and one small non-RAID SSD for the OS. MB supports six SATA drives, tower case supports even more. Backup is to an external (removable) USB drive and is accomplished via rsync and tar.
I have a couple of AMD based desktops I use as file / compute servers. Both running Ubuntu and hosting VM's with VirtualBox and running as fileservers with software RAID-5 and RAID-10. The CPU's are 6 and 8 core and were fairly cheap. Graphics was not a consideration and the machines are servers.
A "free" resource becomes a scarce resource. Solution: charge $ per time unit for a parking space with a charger. Increase price till shortage disappears.

They could establish a gulag there and ship prisoners to it. Then have them grow wheat to be sent back to earth. And have a warden run the whole thing with the aid of a sentient computer named 'Mycroft'.
Many regulations are in place to assure safety and the public good. However, all too often, the regulated get control of the regulatory agencies ("regulatory capture") and then regulations are created to preserve the incumbents dominant market position and/or business model.

Anonymous political speech is just "Common Sense".
Expect to see disclaimers on smart-phones that they are not for sale in NY.
I'd like to see them include quadcopter vs quadcopter battles.

Use my neural interface to write a program to a data crystal that can display on the holodeck. Then leave work in my flying car.

Old York's newspaper is called "The Press".
Festivus - isn't it the season for airing of grievances?

Article's author covers politics for treehugger.com. Yeah, no agenda there.
The stormtrooper could have posed a threat to the younglings and Padawans at the school.

This law seems to be a good reason to leave Oregon.

Design it as an enormous spherical object covered with solar panels and a large antenna to beam power. And a thermal port ...
Of course, how else can one be ready for a mid-air zombie apocalypse.

As a relatively pleased Time-Warner customer I am sooooo looking forward to Comcast acquiring TW.
