What happened to them happens often -- quality food brands are bought and the contents changed. You as a consumer have to stay on your toes.

I've replaced multiple iPhone batteries (just not this model), and the great thing about the iFixit kit is it comes with specialized tools you need and great instructions.

Add to this that they make it really, really hard to unsubscribe. I think there's been some legal crackdowns, but for a time, they could make it literally impossible.

That was sarcasm. On the other hand, it is certainly a normal experience to have to use Chrome for reasons like this.

Slanting toward the fantasy genre here.

> Data centers use up an enormous amount of energy to power their facilities, whether for cloud storage or for AI. That enormous energy demand pushes up the cost of providing electricity to all customers and contributes to higher rates.

If they mean costs rise proportionate to filling demand, that seems obvious. If they're claiming something more ominous, they haven't done a good job of arguing or even describing that in this article.

> Oregon’s POWER Act ensures that these large energy users are paying their share, while ensuring residential and business customers aren’t footing their costs.

"Paying their share" seems like almost a value statement. Since this isn't an editorial, it would be nice to have something more factually rich to read here.

> "American" on the other hand is purely a citizenship ...

This may be how you perceive or feel about it, and of course you're not alone, but many other Americans feel differently. Those of us with Colonial ancestors maintained much the same culture and mores for generations; it's evident in the manners and the literature; it's something distinct that we certainly feel as close to an ethnicity. Granted, we comprise multiple European heritages, but those heritages did not define any of us after a few generations. The concept I am trying to outline her is also a very old one: e.g., first Speaker of the House Frederick Muhlenberg, referring to some of his own constituents, said, "The faster the Germans become Americans, the better it will be."
