I'd expect anything that has a battery which defines the lifespan of a piece of electronics to make that battery replaceable.

Generally the chemistry and any features of the battery.

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell#Type_designation

C means Lithium. The R means Round.

The IS IEC spec that defines the coding is 60086-3

That was the UK Govs approach for a lot of industries: "Just do cyber"

So small imported EVs aren't actually a threat, then?

Oh yeh, saved my skin a few times.
And you can use it like a normal USB stick once your OS is up, so you can have some installers on there to speed things up

Ventoy is an OS.
It's a live Linux that boots from the USB stick you format/image with the ventoy tool. The rest of the space on the USB stick is configured to be essentially a standard USB drive.
The live Linux's sole purpose is to boot another image stored on the USB stick.

So, once you have "ventoy"d a usb stick, you can plonk gparted live iso, Ubuntu, Debian, Eos, W10, W11... whatever isos you want. When you boot from that USB stick, you get the ventoy menu screen and select the iso you want it to continue to boot.

Basically, a bootloader on a usb stick

It's a quadlock case, so it kinda makes sense for it to be thicker. But previous phones/quadlock combos haven't been as thick

I don't think anyone hates noctua. That's like a free bingo square, or something

Yeh, but the late fees are good for people. Free market and free market. Drain the swamp etc. Just pay your debt on time. Or something, both side the same, yada yada.

A great example of the current presidency trying to do something good for a lot of people.

I feel like Talos Linux is NixOS applied to a very specific purpose: kubernetes.
I've recently been playing with kubernetes, and talos linux feels like cheating.

I think NixOS could has a huge market unexplored of server side deployments. Install NixOS, connect to the fresh install via a CLI tool, apply the patches (flakes?), and have an easy way to reset to base NixOS when you make a mistake so you can try a different set of patches.
All from the cli, all with idempotent config files.

Unimogs are exciting

Do people really run zenarmour, snort or suricate on their desktop?
Feels like a network firewall thing to do DPI for the whole house, instead of a per-machine thing.
