Apple devices auto adjust to ambient light. Works great as long as the ambient light isn't changing too much but then that's going to be annoying no matter what.

This is what VMs were made for.
Apple managed it, why didn't MS? They should have put a transparent VM into Vista and 7 to run binaries, drivers, etc and called it Windows Classic. They could have had everyone migrated by now and made more money in the process.
So wrong.
Our economy is backed by debt. Banking records, paper, etc are just IOUs. You do some work (make something of value, perform a service) someone can pay you for that with an IOU. You can then trade that obligation to someone else for a good or service.
The value of the debt is based on market forces, eg whatever value someone will give it.
The money / currency has no value. If you trade in gold for something other than a debt note (IOU) you are just bartering.
Those aren't things. Things are tangible and manifest in the physical world.
Have you not been to the Internet? Millions are creating content every day. We're doing it right now!!!!!
You give far too much credit to the abilities of "professional" authors.
Really all they have to do is put up a low cost pay wall or pay to download site and post the work up. Hundreds of thousands would pay $1.99 or so to read their work.
Just like apps they would get a big spike on release day and then it would fall off and pirates would begin trading but if priced right most people will pay a few dollars. A decent author could make a few hundred thousand a year on one book a year. If you can't write one book a year (due to research time or whatever) you may be able to charge more but if your market is too small then it really comes down to economics. Write something commercial to fund your hobby / niche piece.
It's actually so easy now that it's a little embarrassing to see smart talented people shafting themselves so badly.
Netflix is your actual savior.
Step 1 - subscribe to netflix and buy a Roku/AppleTV
Step 2 - cancel cable tv (and possibly upgrade your network speed)
Step 3 - profit by saving ~$100 / month, which you can optionally spend buying tickets to live music/sports events instead of sitting at home or if you must rent a VPN and usenet anything not on Netflix.
So which browser are you releasing in the next few days? You do know you can fork their code right.
So go ahead. Fork it, release and then maintain it for the next decade. If that isn't your plan then please STFU.
They also use up a lot of energy. There are pros and cons of course. They use more energy than humans to do less useful work BUT they can get tht energy from solar collectors or nuclear more directly than humans (without the massive delay of turning it into sugars first).
Just plug it in already. I've got an android tablet that only reboots when it gets OTA updates that require it. It's ready at a moments notice.
It costs about $5 a year to keep it plugged when not in use.
Analytics do benefit you as a user. That's how companies find out things. They find out what is popular so they can devote more resources to it.
Plenty of other examples but maybe you can think them through yourself.
So you're recommending a class action suit?
Like we don't have enough of those.
No there should be something else. Zoning comes to mind. Taxis companies get zones. Maybe the most profitable. Anyone else (ride share, etc) can work outside the zone.
Or complete deregulation.
It's a one time pass like an RSA fob. It's synchronized with the cars chip so every time you use it and an exchange happens a net key pair is generated. The key pairs are useless. It's the generator algo you want. Then you'd have to sync up your extra fob with the car.
When the oceans were being conquered with ships set to explore and no guarantee of returning.
It's exciting to hear about but sobering to think about the tens of thousands who left, never returned and were forgotten 20 years later.
I wonder if we'll see the same happen over the next century.
