Many phones already have this solved through software.

This naming also came from a time when most people bought/rented servers where they would SSH/FTP into to update their software.

It all comes down to numbers. What's cheaper: recycling brand new phones and accessories for materials, harvesting parts, selling as refurbished, or shipping them to another country (if possible, because they might be targeted to certain markets). Whatever option is the most profitable, is what they'll chose. Sometimes the landfill is the cheapest option.

I doubt they still have that many lightning iPhones. This is mostly about lightning accessories.

I'm pretty sure he's avoiding being seen in public at all except for certain controlled environments.

Hitler did horrible things the old way, with killing and hotting. In many ways, these billionaires are worse. Not wanting to defend him, but Hitler didn't try to meddle with all governments around the world and enslave the whole working class. If people like Elmo get his way, slavery would be back on the menu.

His blunder in Sweden should tell everyone clearly where he stands on workers rights.

There are a few rare gems, but gameplay design has evolved a lot. It's worse than watching comedies from the 50s.

My first Zelda was BOTW so I decided I would play Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask. Man, the amount of aimlessly walking around and boring empty fields gets old very fast. Puzzles are either trivially obvious, impossibly obscure or super hard.

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, was also a star shaped fortress, but nowadays the shape is barely visible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicosia

I'm really sorry for the innocent people of Israel. Their prime minister doesn't give a shit even if Israeli people were to die.

Can't wait for high speed rail to be common and cheaper in Europe. I just hate everything about airports and flying. I already only fly if I have time constraints. I'll gladly take a train for 10 hours instead of a 1 hour flight (which requires more than 1 hour commuting, being 2 hours early, waiting for luggage, then commuting back, so that 1 hour is more like 4).

In this comparison and scale, David's attack would be like pinching Goliath.

I guess it's a David and Goliath sort of thing, but David got absolutely and desicively squashed again and again, and also his wife and kids.

Germany will be thst last country to allow such level of digitalization.

Not just a dying battery, but a fragile screen, malware, and a tendency to get stolen.

I think the problem with a digital passport is that while that's fine in very developed countries, you'll alwadys need a physical human readible stamp to show authorities when they don't have a digital reader.

More and more not complying with digitalization will get you into trouble. I don't think it will be mandatory but expect to run into delays, similar to how you technically have the right to refuse the x-ray-like machine at airport security, but doing so is time consuming, everyone will hate you for it, and cause you significant delays, on top of making you look suspicious.

And it sucks.

So the same as for the past decade.

I mean the last few kms of course. But food delivery is usually by bike.

Actually my deliveries are often done by bike.
