What exactly do we get.. Higher electric rates for everyone.

What, and jump off the quantum gravy train?

Apple has always had at least a 30% margin. They started out overpriced and stayed there while going up.

iPhone price history (they even account for inflation)

Other companies can only dream of doing that. You are comparing two recent models when this has been going on for decades.

And how does that work when Clippy is the search engine? I can't let you do that Dave...

If you were watering everyone's lawn, even those that don't want it, and constantly demanding bigger pipes so you could increase watering those lawns on a daily basis - at what point would people say JUST STOP wasting all the water.

This how AI is treating both the electric grid and the environment. People need to wake up.

The Devil, because that is not a cat. Is this aimed for kindergarten? Or have people become this low target?

My ZIP drive had 100 MB until I removed the disk and put it back in.

For now. The next step is hidden by default and the end game is they simply don't exist.

This is google, they play the long game when forcing changes no one wants.

While I get your point, your example assumes anyone bothers to type the name of those to which the message was directed. If texting grandma, aren't the grandchildren just going to be texting 'eat?' (worse it's probably a food emoji)

We can mostly assemble the stuff automatically now, but the recycling process is less refined and mostly not worth it for anyone trying to profit. It's hard because there is just so much junk they put on circuit boards (out of necessity) that contaminates the extraction process. But hey your new phone now has a i.

Nobody forced anyone to buy cheap Chinese garbage
When that's all that is left available, we are forced by default. When there was still a choice many of us avoided Chinese sourced goods. But the throw away generation has won and here we are.

What's the problem? That's part of the reason corporations moved manufacturing over there, make it 'not our problem'.

Energy density is irrelevant.
No one in the industry believes that, and if they do we are in big trouble.

The problem with distribution on the level of wind or solar is that maintenance will become a problem. Right now installations are relatively new.

Sorry to burst your bubble but nuclear doesn't care about wind or sunshine. It just works and works for decades.

Did it have growing pains, sure and some were doozys. But modern designs and proper location selection alleviates all of the past issues except for what to do with spent fuel. Wait until all those windmills and solar panels reach their end of useful life. No one will want to recycle them and they will just become landfill.

Energy generation should not be a for-profit endeavor, sadly that is where we put it.

That's all this is so that when laws pass that parents must be able to restrict their child's access, 'look we have a popup for that'.
