A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean 100€ with labour and parts is not that unfair for a business in a western country. I assume that you need to work on a phone for at least 30 mins to to get everything done. And 100-200€ an hour for a working professional is not that outrageous.
