Sure. But isn't this valid to any tech? As I pointed, one could make stupid use of expensive machine with dozens of cores as well...
Right, but at least with the expensive machine, one is making a conscious decision to spend a certain, known amount.

I always wonder if going all-in on cloud services actually saves most people time, after hearing about all the weird corner cases that need debugging. Because leased dedicated hardware really doesn’t take much time to manage, it’s entirely fungible and easy to switch off of if you’re not happy with support, it can support an enormous amount of traffic, and it does it for relatively low cost (especially if you need eg high bandwidth).
It doesn't seem to. My current place is all in on AWS and we have about 6 "DevOps" people dedicated to dealing with it all.
Last place we did pretty similar stuff with 3 data centers, all self hosted, self managed, mostly OSS stuff with about 6 sysadmins and way less hassle.
How much do replacement engines cost for ICE cars? I bet you don't know that or think about it when getting an ICE car.
Engine replacement rates will probably be historically higher than battery replacement within standard car lifetimes. It's possibly that a battery car will last longer than an ICE due to less moving parts, but even then I think long-lived EV cars will be relegated to city car duties with reduced ranges.
Batteries usually degrade rather than catastrophically fail (exempting the dramatic but rare battery fire which I believe happen less than ICE fires).
Batteries usually degrade. That's why people ask this question. We have all been carrying around phones with batteries that start to perform badly enough after a couple years that we end up buying a brand new phone.
Not everybody wants to buy a new phone every couple years, and not everybody agrees what a standard car lifetime is.
$15k vs $25k is in the same ballpark.
I disagree.
It's only 67% more. Practically the same price!

I always ask these flat earthers to explain how we see the coriolis effect when firing long range rifles or artillery. Naw, I'm lying, I've never met a serious flat earther online or in person. I think it's a device used in lazy debate rather than a set of real breathing thinking people. Even the flat earth society appears to be just a fun group that meets socially more than scientifically.
I have also never met a flat earther, or seen any discourse online that seems like such.
I am not convinced that they exist in nearly the kinds of numbers that folks like to suggest.
Roku has tie up with TV manufacturers like TCL too. That's where a lot of their growth is coming in.
Personally, I have switched to Fire-Stick and Chromecast with Google TV from Roku because the Roku interface hasn't evolved in the past few years and they are also pushing ads and their own channels now.
I recently managed to get my hands on a non-smart TV and bought a roku stand alone device for it. Mostly because the interface is simple and has been the same for years.
I prefer the moving fast and breaking things to stay away from our limited TV time.

I have almost never encountered GraphQL in production, including when inspecting other sites. I think it's still a pretty small niche and mostly used on newer projects.
I guess clear market winner depends on what one defines as market.
Anecdotally though, I have been working with medium sized startups in NYC that are heavily API driven for the last several years, and I haven't seen graphQL in production once. Not at my companies, nor in any external API we have interfaced with.
I will even go a step farther and day that I cannot recall a single time that another of the several dozens of devs or managers I have worked with has even mentioned the idea of using it.
I can only assume the market OP is referring to is a very specific one. I could make a guess or two, but wouldn't want to ruin the reader's enjoyment from doing the same.
I also read my mortgage paperwork (annoyed the title company, but they didn't make it an issue, my realtor was fine with it). Mine didn't have anything about advertising or data sharing though. Mine was through a credit union, and the fine print was all reasonable.
I read mine also. The lender seemed way more surprised than I would have expected.
Then the title person later was like, "Almost all of this is standardized stuff. It's not really like you can negotiate it at this point."
Whatever, lady, I want to know what I'm signing, I want to see that this version matches the version I already signed last night (it didn't), and for half a million bucks, you can hang out for ten minutes while I do it.
Banks are the most law breaking entities in the United States. They constantly have to make enormous settlements for the insane number of laws they break. These are just the settlements for Bank of America:

A better summary wouldn't be "they make plenty of money legally." It would be they make plenty of money illegally after paying the settlements.
Yeah but they break those laws for their own gain, not for you.
They are until you have a physical disability which makes it hard to pull yourself back up after sitting on a stair.
The existence of stairs is not an attack on disabled people this time.
