The problem with the battery is that it's glued in and requires basically destroying the foam it sits on, with no available replacement for the foam or specifications given AFAIK.

Also, if we're just talking anecdotes here, I have at least two Nintendo devices from the 2000s that ended up with swollen batteries. This has actually reminded me that I might need to check again.

I mean, it's clearly not meant to last decades given the battery situation.

I'm guessing it's to protect the rice farmers, since if the price decreases enough, they'll have to either produce other crops or do something else entirely. They're already having enough problems with people moving to cities, so I doubt they want to create even more incentive.

I've heard of some blockchain based systems referred to as decentralized cloud before (including stuff like Sia and Storj, which I guess is what OP wants). I haven't looked into them that much, but IIUC they push most (all?) controls and so on to the edge. I'm not sure I'd use them though since the networks aren't super large.

PLA/PAP Casualties

Summary is a truck flipped over, supposed friendly fire incident with a non-uniformed soldier, and a heart attack.

According to the linked page with PLA/PAP casualties, there were 15 verifiable deaths (PRC official number is 23). Half of them weren't directly caused by the protesters, and the other half occurred after troops first opened fire. Truly, I feel quite radicalized.
