Protects you from the sun while you walk. Umbrellas are used for that at least in Japan, as somebody already mentioned

Nah. You could DIY something like that for 30€ or something, let alone mass produce. The only problem is that the folding would be more clumsy and probably take a bit more space folded

Edit: picture of a real product from which you could DIY one:

Asking ”what is tagalog” is really disrespectful waste of everybody’s time.

The phrase ”english and tagalog” clearly indicates that it’s a language.

Moreover, it is a single word, which is really, really easy to use a search engine for. Or wikipedia. You rarely see ”what is X” type of questions even here, on nostupidquestions.

Third, the person acknowledged themselves that it’s a stupid question.

when the battery inevitably degrades, you’ll still have solid battery life.

We used to have user replaceable batteries. The companies stopped making them and few people cared

I really don't think the average person cares at all about improving the current picture quality of phone cameras. The pictures get posted on instagram or sent on a messaging app, and looked at once on a 6 inch screen. They are not getting printed. Most people wouldn't even notice.

Battery life is a thing people would maybe appreciate, but then again, people seem to be fine with charging their phones overnight, and current phones seem to last one day on one charge.

Most people don't really care about cool tech, they want a phone that just works

I mean it can work, at least in theory. I’d have to take a more comprehensive look at Estonia’s case. I will not take that source at face value though.

But recently I’ve seen analyses of both the UK and the southern EU countries’ austerity policies being failures. And that’s multiple countries with very different economies.

Austerity doesn’t work

Given that the general population doesn’t even know how allergies work half the time, it makes even more sense to ban peanuts on flights

whose hegemony results in most of the world conforming to the same

Does it really? I know there are significant differences between US and EU copyright law, fair use comes to mind
