This option must have been added later.

It's important that we learn about this so we don't repeat it. Sadly, we are repeating it. Perhaps it's impossible to prevent the cycle because it can only be prevented by those who benefit from it.

Carnot's law of thermodynamics says you can only do this effectively if you can run the computers at a few hundred, or ideally thousand, degrees C.

Landauer's principle says that even if we could build computers to work at those temperatures, they'd need more power anyway.

The new ones are being built with massive numbers of unpermitted gas turbines with the exhaust filters removed, because there's not enough electricity and there isn't enough grid power and exhaust filtering costs money. So they're giving entire nearby towns asthma. They're also so loud the whole town can't sleep.

Data centers were, and still can be, some of the cleanest industrial facilities - but the ones being built in this AI wave are not, because they are being built as cheaply and as quickly as possible and without regards to proper infrastructure.

You can, and should, keep it in case you have less revenue next year though.

It sounds better on the quarterly report than "Apple will pay more money"

That is because the value of the dollar is half what it used to be. In other words, inflation has been 20% per year for 5 years.

So why do they keep telling us it's 4%?

Credit cards are pretty locked down, you can't connect to that network without a verified identity to be sued when unauthorized charges are made.

Economies are built by rich people for rich people. A few million poor people dead doesn't really make a dent in them.

Come on, they're not that porous, certainly under a Trump administration. People fly into NZ too.

Without the indecisive government action that was taken, millions more people would have died, but the economy would have done better.

With decisive government action (see New Zealand), millions less people would have died, and the economy would have done better.

This has every sign of being advanced slop. Before I proceed further, can you provide any evidence that anything on this page corresponds to anything in reality?

New firmware can easily come with new security checks though, and I think other consoles have done this in the past.

Every successful country has done it. First they make liberal use of others' IP then when they are generating IP themselves they try hard to protect it.

Not limited to IP, they also do this with real property when they can.

Not limited to property, they do this with every single regulation. Think about Europe and chlorinated chicken.
