It's not just hard disk drives. On any digital camera or smartphone forum, you'll find hundreds of questions about how to recover data from a blown flash memory card.
There were problems back in the 1990's with Ethernet boards using flash memory for the MAC address. These cost around $1000, and had the MAC address stored on a flash chip that was written to by a DOS utility program when the PC started up. The only problem was that these flash chips burnt out quickly after 10,000 power up cycles. In theory, even with desktop PC's being switched on and off couple of times a day, they should have lasted several years. But if certain other device drivers failed to load, the PC would reboot - every few seconds. This was likely to happen due to variations in power line voltage. It would only take one night or weekend for a system to become this unstable. Once the MAC address was gone, the Ethernet card would just talk to everything and anything taking down the entire network. The entire IT department would have to go running round every floor switching branches of the LAN network to an alternative backbone.
You can now get hybrid SSD / spinning hard disk drives. There's an onboard SSD that caches the most commonly used disk blocks. From what I've read just now that goes from 8 GB to 24 GB. It seems a cool idea, but to me this has the mechanical fragility of a spinning disk drive combined with the electrical sensitivity of a flash memory device.
Security theater. Whenever something happens, "security procedures will be reviewed and tightened.". They pick on the group that will offer the least resistance. To show they are getting tough on airline security, they might decide to do random strip searches on people, but women in hibab's will be exempt for cultural reasons, so they'll choose church priests and nuns instead.
It's built into the OS for the PS4 and XBox consoles They are designed around having network connectivity built-in. Taking snapshots of game play and add it to your photo album, share it with others, stream it live, visit "the store" where you can buy and download games.
Large corporations like oil companies used to do mass dump-offs of old monitors and cables whenever they got a new service contract. All the old IT equipment would be loaded into dumpsters to be taken straight to the rubbish tips. In the 1980's, that would be dumb terminals and RS-232 cables (replaced with PC's). Then they would dump their old PC's for new ones. Though these days, Dell and HP do the recycling with their service contracts.
I'd say the Pi is like what DOS programming was back in the early 1990's. You were lucky to have 2 Megabytes of system RAM to play with and to have 320x200x256 VGA color screen. That did get bumped up to 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 then 1280x1024x256. Games were still mostly 256 color up until the mid 1990's.
There's probably a trade-off between encrypting as many files as possible before the user finds out (favoring simple methods or small block sizes), and encrypting individual files so hard that the user can't decrypt them in a reasonable time (favoring complex methods or large block sizes).
Hardware requires development environments, software simulators, FPGA units, tape-out, ASIC manufacturing, prototype hardware, firmware, custom firmware compilers, device drivers, official vendor approval and testing (Microsoft, Google, Apple), technical documentation and distribution.

Not even SLI systems with Geforce Titan's would cost that much. If you were to go into professional workstations with dual/quad socket Intel Xeons, Quadro graphics boards, triple screens, then the price could go that high.
I've seen that happen with certain configurations of SLI systems. The Geforce Titan GPU's have several chassis screws that can make contact with the metal casing of the hard disk drive cable connectors.
Some videos had network based DRM (RealPlayer?) What happens when the server goes away? It's impossible to play the video. The server has gone along with the decryption keys. It's no different from those ironworks companies that make cast iron drain covers and put their web address on top. 10 years later, they are bought out and change their name, and drop the domain name.
The first metals known to humans came from meteorites falling to earth, and droplets of mercury that were seen running out of stones as they were heated. So it would have been an easy assumption that heating rocks produces metals.
That's just like built-in kitchen cookers, fridges and dish washers. When the home is initially built, the property developer makes the decision on what appliances are to be installed; whether to use gas or electricity, internet-ready, remote control, whatever. Then the next home buyer comes along and has to either buy or not buy the property. No choice as to whether these should or should not IoT.
It relates to quantum theory. Maybe putting boundaries on various solutions. I wonder if it's related to the discovery that there are bundles or hairs of dark matter around every planet in the Solar system.
That's the whole problem with aneurysms. What was an simple hot large pipe supplying blood to the brain, had lost strength, started to disintegrate, split apart, and turn into a balloon bubble until it's in a highly unstable state. When it finally blows apart, the patient will either end up paralyzed or dead. There is only one chance to get it right. Some solutions involve trying to block off the end, others involve filling the cavity with some kind of filler than reduces pressure so that it deflates by itself. Get the treatment wrong and it explodes.
It saves battery life not having to send power through the CCD sensor and the chip logic. That CCD consists of millions of transistors. a 10 Megapixel sensor is going to have that many transistors. Then all sorts of OS kernel jiggery-pokery has to be performed to set up data transfer buffers, set up streaming from the CCD to the display,
Because there might be a hardware MPEG compressor and a flash memory chip somewhere in the circuitry. An HD webcam has the MPEG compressor, so isn't not too difficult to add a flash memory card.

Prisoners get console systems for good behavior. And they were using the chat feature to communicate with people on the outside world.

Those almost seemed to take off. I've only seen them in upmarket hotels:

Don't get them on modern gaming laptops. No floppy disk drive either.

You need to stop drones flying over and dropping packages. Or people just chucking stuff over walls.
They are allowed to have XBox's and Playstations, and if they are lucky that provides an internet connection allowing online gaming and communication.
80% of the British population are foreign nationals either in the UK illegally or granted temporary residency. It isn't British society that's broken.
