That's insane to me.
I have money to buy something, and I'm being refused the sale despite this money being legal tender.

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?
People really don't seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.
You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in "dumber" electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.
Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.
I didn't even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)
Thiner≠better.
The rich fail up and everyone else has to play by the rules or get fucked over.
You're playing by their rules, and it only matters as long as we allow them to not play by the rules.
I bet they'd stop doing it if they got literally ripped into pieces by horses. Or a horse's solar-powered motorized equivalent.
100% spot on.
It's absolutely a scam designed to extract even more wealth from the poors.
No joke, I've had a car dealership tell me they can't sell me the car I want because my credit score was nonexistent (no credit history in 7 years). I was paying in full, in cash, literally in an envelope in my hand.
Grand total of 8k, all in 100s, super easy to count.
But no, I didn't have a "good enough credit score" so I couldn't buy that car from them, despite having the money to do so.
Mental gymnastics on that one.

I feel like I need a shower after reading that.
A hot one.
Of course teleporters make a copy of the original.
Unless there's a malfunction in the dilithium encabulator matrix, then it would make you some sort of vacant, soulless husk that traps people in pattern buffers for fun in order to try and feel something after multiple lifetimes of torture and pain....
That never happens though.
A lot of modern people who have no knowledge ~~of how to stack rocks~~ conclude ~~ancient egyptians~~ couldn’t possibly have ~~stacked rocks~~ because they themselves cannot ~~stack rocks~~.
Replace those bits with almost anything and it still works.
I'm a big fan of "you paid us to remove your shit, you didn't pay us, here's your shit/equivalent of your shit back"
Nothing ever happens
I park next to an 80s beetle with over 350k on the odometer. My own truck is from the 90s with 280k.
I work with a guy who daily drives his dad's old Mercedes. While he inherited it, it wasn't a "project car" or anything, it was a daily driver kept in good repair. Honestly, you put on a new clear coat, detail the interior? It feels no more than a few years old. 500k miles.
