@neauoire sheltered and wishful thinking but: we need to get used to paying more for electronics. The current price expectation has been artificially subsidized to be cheaper. Consumers have such an irrational aversion to paying for hardware that's even slightly more expensive, like they are getting ripped off or something. When really, we should have much more of an aversion to hardware that is cheap. Honest hardware built with quality and integrity should be more important than how much it costs.
