Holy crap, apple charges $200 to add 8GB of RAM. I just bought 32GB of DDR5 for the Framework I have on order for $95.

Oh I completely understand, I have one for camping. I was really responding to this paragraph:
If you use them every day to broadly discharge and recharge off a small solar panel set up you’ll slowly start to chip into your carbon footprint and energy cost. Its also not fossil energy, its micro-renewable.
The ROI is basically infinite on these even at the sale price of $1000 for the 768Wh with a 200W solar panel (which should approximately charge it each day). Let's round to 1kWh. The average price of electricity is $0.23 per kWh. This provides $1 of power every 4 days, meaning it would take 4000 days to break even. The battery is only rated for 3000 cycles.
I think it was lost for decades.
It's not quite that simple. Your phone has the hardware to connect to a mobile network, but a SIM, wherever eSIM or physical, has the password to get on to the particular provider's network. My phone had the hardware to connect to Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T, but the SIM gives it the password to get on to T-Mobile.
Most notably you need to have an internet connection to download an eSIM - so even if the carrier gave them away for free you would need someone with a working phone to help setup the eSIMs.
I love that you take ownership of your mistakes. I'll be putting this in your annual review.
Know your meme doesn't have any real info on it, but the first time I remember it is people posting about Morbius on Reddit, "Morbius is certainly one of the movies of all time."
Eh, I've given Deezer a try and it doesn't offer anything to make it "the best". The family plan costs more than the competition even when paid for annually, and its algorithm for radio features is worse than even Tidal and YTM.
The number you pulled for YouTube Music is based on free users watching YouTube videos. YouTube Music streams from paying subscribers are 4x that at $0.08 per stream.
The Spotify number is also averaged across free and premium users - I'm not sure the number for premium users only but it is likely closer to what Apple and Tidal pay since those are premium-only.
The other problem though is that none of the services have implemented user-centric payments. So your money on any of the services is going to Taylor Swift, Drake and Bad Bunny no matter who you listen to because everyone gets paid based on their percentage of the total streams.

Indie devs do already get a bit of a break by only paying 15%.
