Did you check if your city will take them? Sometimes you need to go a specific dropoff site but usually they have instructions for household hazardous material
You called? Team small phones for life!
I've definitely had people who were working for me say "I have four boats" and I'm like wtf bc I know how much they make. Then I find out they live over an hour away from work in the middle of nowhere, their mortgage is less than half my rent and two of the boats are "project" boats that don't even run. The only drone person I know is childfree, huge savings right there, and they don't live in a city either. Tbh some of the things people do for these things, the amount of work does not make sense to me but if that's what you want to do with every single weekend, go right ahead.
Plus I find these people with a lot of money invested in their hobbies tend to be older, like 30-40 years old. Then I'm like, I could probably afford a 5k 3d printer in a decade but that's not what I would spend my money on.
My dad fixed up a Chinese laser cutter to save money (it was like 1k by the end of it), it sat in the basement for a while there. Personally, I assume YT is not their only job. I've worked with people that have sunk way more than 10k into their hobbies, the car people in particular are sometimes unbelievable and that I don't get. Drone and boat people too. The small planes are kind of cool. At least with these tools, you can actually make money off them.
3D printers and laser cutters are significantly cheaper now. Also those and CNC machines, people can use them for business like you send them the file and they ship you the item. Laser cutters people use for custom engraving, they just buy a bunch of blank keychains, coasters, etc off alibaba and make them on demand. You can find tons of these stores on etsy (people will just steal the models for popular characters and print them out on demand for a profit), here's a more expensive one. Or like my family, print out warhammer 40k models instead of buying them because it's literally cheaper.
Also these they might not have bought them new, like our university will rarely get rid of equipment to free up storage and because it's so specialized and so few people know how to get access, you can get a really good price. We had two rooms of printers that we had to get rid of because students kept breaking them and it was too much of a pain to keep them running. We also bought new milling equipment to upgrade the shop and got rid of the old stuff which was working fine.
Interesting concept, might be a good mod tool too to be able to limit instance interaction on a community level
That's not unusual, imo high refresh rates on phones are a bit of a marketing tactic bc they don't really have the computation power to support it when it counts (no one really cares if a static GUI is shown at 120 Hz but it is a waste of battery, you want it for gaming, videos, etc)
Lack of gpu-enabled cross-platform functionality
No dash maybe? OtterMod? OtterModBot?
