> That's.... a long list

The list has 19 components, that's not a long list at all?

> $100ish just for the enclosure and unknown for the electronics.

The model numbers are there, you can price them out! It's not a big mystery.

Market share of iOS is less than half that of Android (27% vs 72%). Same goes for Chrome and Chromium based browsers - so that's where web developers priorities of optimization and debugging are.

So around 3x component cost? That sounds about right for a consumer electronics product in the U.S. Maybe high if they’re keeping data from the devices for commercial use.

It's a luxury brand pretending it's technology made by child labor.

> Beyond that, mobile safari is the backing engine for all browsers on ios devices, even Chrome.

^(*Because Apple forces every IOS browser to use their engine, everything is just a reskin of safari)

This sounds like Trump's reasonable for not COVID testing.

Air quality is great as long as you don't test it near pollution!

I mean, home users could skip the solar power, LTE components, and enter coordinates manually instead of using GPS.

A lot of communities use PurpleAir air sensors. They measure PM 2.5 and only cost around $200 iirc.

I live next to a top 3 busiest airport in the US. Wonder how much shit is spewed out in the air every 30 seconds that a plane passes over my house.

But it doesn't have to be that expensive. That Purpleair Flex has a BME688, $13.5 in single quantity (<$7 if you buy in bulk), and two PMS-6003 which are around $40 in single quantity. Asking for $270 for a device that's idea is to gather crowd sourced data is a bit steep.

Meanwhile the European project uses a kit that costs less than $50 to put together, and that's in single quantity by people ordering the stuff from aliexpress.

call me skeptical that any company will use them if they are even a fraction more expensive than traditional propellers. why would they do the right thing when there’s money to be made?
