Not stated in the article, but from memory there's an exception for smartphones because of 'how tightly integrated and small' they are, which is bullshit.

It's solar roadways 2: electric boogaloo.
First fill available space that is fairly 'safe' - so roofs - with solar before even starting to consider this.
Actually, my employer honestly does not care. My department specifically uses unmanaged devices, which we're also explicitly allowed to use privately. The data on them is ours, we are encouraged to encrypt it with a personal key. 'Non-personal' data is stored on onedrive or our own gitlab instance.
But I agree with you that most employers would :)
That's what obsidian state, yes.
Now, what constitutes 'making money'?
If you use it to keep notes for your university courses, you effectively use it to further a cause which in the future will make you money, yet I'm sure you'd agree that doesn't fall into 'commercial use'.
If I use it to organize the research I do - the knowledge of which I then use in a commercial project - does that constitute work use? In my opinion - yes, I get paid to do that research, but it's knowledge for me, so no, it is not 'work use' to me.
Next step - use it for notes specifically for a work project. As long as I am using it for myself and myself only, only sharing snippets of text that have no relevance to obsidian, not work use. Share a canvas created with obsidian? Work use. Share/publish a whole folder/vault as a wiki? Work use.
Naaaaja. Würde mich selber nicht als links bezeichnen - aber mittlerweile auch nicht mehr als rechts, weil die viel zu viel Scheisse bauen. Aber FOSS ist sehr Neuss.
Lemmy is not your marketing platform.
Eh. Theoretically, maybe. Practically, this is a problem of 'what constitutes work use'.
In my opinion, the work notes I take in obsidian are my personal notes. I found obsidian myself, and use it myself for taking notes for work. Stuff doesn't get shared to coworkers, other than the actual text I am writing when I copy paste it out of obsidian.
OP's use case is a work use, in my opinion, as they are using obsidian to produce the output used for work.
Same would apply if a team used obsidian for notes, encouraged use of it for everyone in the team, and/or uses shared vaults as a 'wiki'.

Definitely. I assume the actual cost for the cable is <10$, but engineering work gets very expensive very fast if you're small scale.
I'm interested in something - say you got an order for 1 million units, what's the price per unit you could offer?
Edit: just looked at the DIY option - seems right now you're just using off the shelf parts, which is fine. Clever use of them, even. Main part seems to be 'present usb device - once the usb device gets removed, lock down the PC'. So, you specifically just need some usb device with a cord that attaches magnetically - and securely enough that it doesn't disconnect randomly, with some mechanical way to fix it to yourself. So yeah, at million scale, seems you could definitely sell it for 10 bucks a piece.
Apparently I was mistaken, as search results seem to indicate that it also goes for phones: https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries
