No sales contact, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_buildin... does enumerate nominal costs 3 orders of magnitude higher.

> Gas Works Park has a play area with a large play barn, and big hill popular for flying kites. Special park features include a sundial, and a beautiful view of Seattle. Access to Lake Union is restricted at Gas Works Park, as the lake sediment contains hazardous substances.

Appear that that description omits the lede! But the park does seem singularly interesting per the Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_Works_Park

The DoE didn’t free that tech to the public, the US government’s using licensing to actively prevent American companies from competing with the Chinese one they allowed a sublicense to be granted to (from your link):

> Forever Energy, a Bellevue, Wash., based company, is one of several U.S. companies that have been trying to get a license from the Department of Energy to make the batteries. Joanne Skievaski, Forever Energy's chief financial officer, has been trying to get hold of a license for more than a year and called the department's decision to allow foreign manufacturing "mind boggling."

My Pinephone has all those features except the dual SIM card tray, and the battery’s capacity is rated 2,800mAh / typical 3,000mAh. The fact that it can burn through that in as little as an hour if held just right (with max brightness, volume, and load on the GPU, CPU, RAM, and separate modem CPU with the default nonfree, inefficient firmware; and not using the separately sold keyboard case with 6,000 more mAh) is a great incentive to limit its addictive effects.

> Running it on the desktop is far inferior, because a great advantage of QBO is the ability for several people, distributed worldwide, to work on the same account at the same time.

Is there any reason the desktop version couldn’t do that if Intuit wanted it to? (I imagine they just artificially limit it to encourage customers to ditch indefinite license purchases in favor of monthly SaaSS subscriptions, ie. it has little to do with technical advantages of the web and much to do with the profit advantages of software that stays on Intuit’s servers.)
