It's heavy but not unheard of; my headphones weigh 14.8 oz and some of the heaviest I know of are something like 1.3 lbs!

Still though, I think this is just a case of Apple making them heavier purely for a premium feel.

I'm not sure that's a fair blanket statement to make. I don't think I've bought any new devices with only 1gig ports in quite some time. My work laptop has 2.5GbE, my 5 year old desktop has 2.5GbE, my NAS has 10GbE, etc. 2.5GbE switches have also gotten quite cheap.

My WiFi 6 router only has gigabit LAN ports, but that's because I didn't personally need to go any higher than that. Faster options were available at the time I bought it.

My point is that consumer electronics are generally available with >1GbE if the application suits it. If you only buy the cheaper models then 1GbE is more common. There are plenty of applications where even 1GbE is overkill and spending any more money on a faster link would be throwing away money.

If all you're looking for is cheap, you can find action cameras like that for around $20 on Amazon, probably even cheaper through AliBaba or similar.

It's my opinion that we need regulation around this. Car manufacturers should be required to offer buy-back programs for their batteries, and then properly dispose of them, ideally with as much recycling as possible.

I also believe manufacturers should be required to offer replacement batteries for sale for a certain number of years. It's mind-boggling that some companies have stopped selling replacement battery packs within 5 years of selling that vehicle.

What an awesome idea! Hope she loved it.

A quick search shows there are a little over 30M addresses with a nonzero balance, which is just under 2^25.

That means the actual probability would be about 1/(2^135).

At a million hashes per second, that means you would likely find one after about 10^27 years.
