Such scam is impossible to hide: the cold wallets are very easy to trace (the blockchain database is visible to anyone), but impossible to withdraw without knowing the private key.
People who run remote machines usually have a way to remotely access the console (e.g. IPMI serial-over-lan, terminal server, virtual KVM, VM instance console etc). The only exception is the retarded Amazon AWS which still doesn't have an interactive console. If AWS instance doesn't boot you have to mount its storage elsewhere to fix it or restore from a snapshot (really a lot of trouble).
I do run Mobiwol (no root firewall) when I need it (e.g. data restricted network). So far it worked fine for me. Otherwise I just disable everything I don't need with Package Disabler Pro.
If their 45% capacity increase estimates are accurate, you will not have to endure as many cycles per year, and for the average user not charging as often as you do, that will likely translate to a couple of years.
As I wrote , the major manufacturers tend decreasing the size and the weight of the phone instead of increasing battery capacity (there is some capacity increase only to accommodate larger power-hungry screens).
The number of cycles that is usually quoted for Li-Ion batteries is ~1000 for 80% depth of discharge (DoD of 100% can lower that to 200-300). I don't know under what conditions 500 cycles were achieved (the articles only says 5C, but not DoD).
Face unlock was on Android for many years (since Nexus 4 released in 2012 IIRC). It was always advertised as low security convenience feature and not a security solution. OnePlus facial recognition is no different.
The chances of the debris to hit anyone are low (the area with actual humans on it divided by total area of earth), that's why it's unlikely. If they do hit someone, the chances of harm are quite high, but again, that's unlikely to happen.
- I already have plenty of expensive and inexpensive headphones - I was in several situations where ability to connect the my phone to the AV system saved the day - Adaptors suck, get lost and may contain a low quality DAC. - Others make phones with a headphone jack, why should I go for the inconvenience of buying one without?
Unfortunately they didn't. Otherwise I would tell them that it's very stupid for a newcomer to reduce the number of potential buyers without a good reason.
... I guess sort of like bad sectors are a characteristic of disk drives...
Each hard drive has bad sectors detected during the QA testing and permanently stored in drives primary defects list (PLIST) table. The visible reallocations that start from 0 and reported by S.M.A.R.T are grown defects list (GLIST), not existing during the manufacturing. So yes, bad sectors are sort of a characteristic of disk drives.
It does a lot for manufacturing cost (BOM only - not counting the equipment and fab costs). However it does nothing for the price, which is a matter of supply and demand, and currently has nothing to do with the manufacturing cost.

Shut up and kill yourself, you pseudo-human AC shit. We promise not to interfere.

Type-C USB cable is up to 20V. Many smartphones usually support 9V and 12V

In most other countries 20$/mo (or even less) gives you unlimited calls/texts and many GBs of data.

I don't think rooting is a good idea nowadays. It prevents updates and you can achieve most things rooting allowed in the past without it.
Disable the application. You can disable any pre-installed application by standard Android means or any application using Package Disable Pro app.
BTW, I've yet to see a system app with pop-up ads on Samsung, are you sure it is one indeed? What phone is it and what carrier?

I'm charging my S8+ ~1.5 a day. 500 charges means that after just 1 year the battery is at 78% of capacity, What happens after 1.5 years?
Even for those who charge only once a day, 500 charges is ~1.5 years, which is less than the common 2-year lifespan of the phone.
Increasing the battery density probably won't help either, as manufacturers will again make thinner phones instead of increasing capacity.

It's very improbable for anyone to understand that reference without an infinite improbability drive.

4-way stops is US/Canada only phenomenon, and it's really inefficient and stupid. Most sane countries use roundabouts instead

No headphones jack - no money
Please stop with the good enough jokes. We've heard enough of them, and none were good.
It's currently worth about $46.57 a share as I write this on March 13, 2007.
March 13, 2007? I don't think time machines existed back then. Maybe you write this on March 13, 3007?

$4 is less than even the BOM of an iPhone
Yes, there are PCIe cards with 4 m.2 slots (e.g. https://www.servethehome.com/the-dell-4x-m-2-pcie-x16-version-of-the-hp-z-turbo-quad-pro/).
And there are plenty of rack servers with internal PCIe switches for up to 24 U.2 (2.5") devices.
