This. I’m visually impaired and actually need a lot of light to operate normally.
At one point in my life I lived in a large building where all the hallways were operated by infrared sensors. It was honestly pretty cool to just walk around and get the light I needed without pressing any buttons.
I’ve often thought about how neat it would be if we could do same for outdoor spaces.
My uneducated guess is this: the iPhone 15 uses the same A16 chip as the 14 Pro did, to more easily produce it at scale and cost effectively. The 14 Pro had Lightning and therefore 2.0 speeds. The 15 kept the 2.0 speed because the A16 couldn’t (readily?) be reengineered to support a 3.0 connector.
No, their point is valid. You just did a bunch of mathematics while completely ignoring the larger issue of corporations and rich executives wasting money on frivolous endeavors.
Not only that, you literally suggested that dividing the BlueJeans money among the poor of the world would do them little benefit–as if Verizon is the only company perpetrating corporate greed–which they never suggested.
Using your own numbers, $3415 dollars would probably make a huge difference in most Verizon employees' lives, but instead they spent that money on BlueJeans, a product that any reasonable person could have told you was doomed to fail.
Using AdGuard and Vinegar to use YouTube in Safari, I can’t remember when I last saw an ad. It’s not ideal, but it works well enough.
