I don't know why you are being downvoted, maybe people don't like the form, but the fact that device manufacturers are removing useful features such as the ability to expand the storage of your device is infuriating.

But, but if you can just add a microSD with 128gb for 20-40 bucks, how can the poor vendor upsell you an upgrade for 200 extra?

Because this makes life difficult for developers, for no good reason. Developers simply shouldn't have the access necessary to make these attacks succeed.

HN doesn't do sarcasm.

They do, quite a bit.

Just check the number of comments with /s at the end.

People sometimes even say "you forgot to put a /s" or the like, in reply to an obviously sarcastic comment.

That's a Reddit thing, not HN. Normally I see stuff downvoted if it has /s.

Somewhat different from I've seen, then.

And a poor choice if true, IMO.
