Most of the gold's price comes from it being used in jewelry and as an investment. Less than 7% of gold is used by the tech industry

Kidneys rock! As long as they don't stone, that is.

There should also be a 30sth page doc about how the e-voting machines are set up, configured and secured somewhere. But it is in Estonian and I can't be arsed to find it now

Everyone in Estonia has to have an ID card, which contains the RSA keys and x.509 certs for giving digital signatures.

Ah, sorry, I misread your comment. I understood it as you'll never need a smart temp control as a static temperature is always correct.

Audio quality reduction might not be noticeable to the average user, as long as they don't use the mic

FM on a phone is a banger. I used to have an old Nokia with a FM transmitter as well.

To be honest, the FM transmitter was more reliable and easier to set up on a random car with no aux than Bluetooth was.

SD cards are awesome, because a high quality 256GB SD card costs about $30, while a 256GB memory upgrade is at least $100 with no option to transfer when you get a new phone.

Cloud storage is pretty expensive and only as fast as your internet speed is, so for a lot of people that is not really that feasible. Especially considering that some have data caps as well.

3.5mm jack is just more comfortable to use for a lot of people, especially when they have multiple source devices and want to switch between them. I have BT headphones and it is way easier and more reliable to just replug the wire than to go through the BT disconnect reconnect dance.

The issue with dongles is that you'll have to find the correct aux dongle, some phones support analog passthrough, others require active dongles and so on
