Its not the cost of the device - its how durable and manageable it is. It needs to be dead simple to manage since its usually 1 guy for a whole school district.

Its high time printer companies support some universal print (HP PCL6) and some unified scan thing instead of the turbo barf web printer socket crap. I think the newest flavor of Windows drivers tried to do some of that, but failed turbo hard.
Its already cross platform,
My buddy and I have these for temp storage and we dont really take care of them, but have had them well over a year without any issues.
I buy a ton of SSDs for work, and personal use (homelabs) and have had the following die:
6 intel drives (8MB bug on 4 of these, most otherwise just crapped the bed)
1 WD 770 1TB (took a whole system out - must have shorted out the PCIe bus or something wild)
1 Crucial SATA SSD (1TB) - DOA
1 Lite-On (OEM HP Drive) die - this one slowed to a crawl first, and let us back up data and then died
2 Samsung (though I purchase a TON of these) - They technically are DOA but firmware updates and a total wipe and reformat got them working again
Samsung EVO drives kind of suck - super not performant but work. I do like the WD 850X series (so far) and Samsung 9xx series. I have no issues with PNY, Micron/Crucial (before this year), Samsung, higher end WD.
I agree as an admin - I hate using linux desktop or server because of the packaging alone. Every flavor of distro has to be absolutely different in their base setup and configuration and it makes using it casually a nightmare.
Windows has MSI and android APK why doesn't linux have a standard, easy to use, cross distro packaging standard people can at least
I believe they did indeed lay fiber. Its all dark, unused. The rest of the cash went into pockets of C Levels. Without requirements to have residents confirm they get good speeds and a copy of their bill at a reasonable price, then all bets are off.
With that weird Intel Radeon NUC thing we had briefly, I was hoping intel licensed Radeon tech from AMD and was going to use that to benefit us all - with a competitor in the market. So far their offerings are underwhelming but at start I suppose.
Now we can have e-readers that are in color, for comics and things like that...and this looks even fast enough for smart watches to give them even better battery life. Great for displays too, since if it works like regular e-ink you set it once and then the driving controller can just go to sleep until the image needs to be updated.
See the thing is the music industry doesnt make money on concerts and their records come out immediately so its not even the same.
Well it worked so well with ISP's getting all that money in the 90s!
Why are there no standard fast charging plugs and charging systems for cars? You have one for Chevy, one for ford, one for tesla (jk its actually 3 styles) and most also have adapters for home power like 120V and 240V so this is a cluster before it even starts
Is UBISOFT a bunch of dicks? Does the sun still rise in the morning? This and other news today at 5
2000 and Me looked a lot alike so I'm not sure why people above were saying it brought 98 SE UI to NT because it didnt. It brought ME to NT.
Windows Me sucked because it had some god awful driver system on it that wasnt what 9x or NT used iirc and vendors didnt bother to update anything so it ran like shit and crashed a lot with printers and scanners
8.1 Update 1 was actually super good and usable. Its what Server 2012 R2 is and it has all of the benefits to NT that came with it over Windows 7 like self healing and DISM improvements and other things. It ran fast. The UI was weird, but not awful.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
