It's a flashcart (that's what I said in the first sentence). And I'm not surprised they're still selling them if they're in Russia (same if they were in China). I wouldn't buy this shit anyway.
Oh, the flashcarts. I don't think it's scaring Nintendo into doing anything:) With Nintendo legally trying to kill emulators it's the other way around unfortunately
Do you mean having a lot higher margins on upgrades? I don't think that's true either, but maybe they've been getting more aggressive on that front over time.
Apple's RAM/storage prices have been unhinged for a long time. I try to avoid any upgrades when I buy their products, it's usually better to get the higher model - I.e. with better processor/better product line (which usually has a better starting RAM/storage), than to upgrade a base model
Maybe if you'd read the replies to your question you wouldn't be creeped out. There are a lot of good use cases and I haven't even though how it could be misused before you brought it up.
Keep in kind some filament may be humid out of the box. You can try different methods of drying it for now, but I'd really recommend getting a dryer when you can.
I had a similar problem (with Creality K1), fixed it by lowering extrusion rate for first layer (in Orca slicer, but there may be such option in the one you're using too). Changing z-offset would've probably helped too.
