Good question. The local Aldi here was selling charging cables the other day: micro-USB and USB-C cables were €2.99, the Lightning version €8.99; Same brand, length, etc.
While sure there's some extra margin on those cables it seems the cost of MFi certification seems to be more than just a penny per cable.
The botting community kept meticulous archives of the client and cache during these times. I know there was very complete archives of the 2004-2011 era and I can't imagine those having disappeared completely. moparisthebest ran a script that collected it and he wasn't the only one.
Ryanair in Europe pretty much operates the same with many small hubs and point-to-point flights, but for some reason they are also run objectively a very reliable operation. Wonder why that is.
The price set is the marginal price for the last MW of capacity required (which is the most expensive one). No other way to do it I guess: if you give the cheaper producers less than the most expensive ones, they have the economic incentive not to supply until they get the higher price.
Blood/bone marrow is relatively easy as you have a very clear delivery vehicle for your modified genes. Actually getting to the colon cells or retina is a lot harder, can’t just inject it into the blood and expect it to end up in the right place.
They even gonna charge it for device exchanges. Like what, $35 for popping a SIM into a different phone? What is the cost there for them? It shouldn't even matter to the network.
Wasn't that meme only due to one third-party docking station putting 12V on the data lines? I never heard any stories about regular USB-chargers or USB-C cables frying the Switch.
In my country, they solved that overnight street parking pretty easily. If there's not a charger close by, you can request the city council to place a charger in your street. They do indeed dig it up, wire it to some electrical lines there and there's your charger. And the cost? Commercial companies actually do all of this and you just pay for the electricity when you charge, the city council takes care of the permits. Win/win/win situation I'd say.
I see this a lot in The Netherlands, quite a few of my old neighbors have around 8 panels on the roof. Cost is indeed around the order of €5k and consequently makes it very accessible. And the savings are usually a very large part of the electricity bill (heating is still mostly gas).
In EU private messages are protected, companies can't just read through your entire mailbox as you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Of course they can read it if they have a good reason: e.g. you're leaking information to the competitor, but you can't just read random emails between an employee and their spouse for no reason. (Article 8 ECHR).
You need financial data of course, but you don't need a record stating I logged in 2 years and 5 months ago at 09:15 in the morning from an iPhone 8 from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and used your app for 12 minutes, I have every right to request you to delete that information as it is not necessary for legal defense (chargebacks) or lawful. You might be non-compliant by keeping that information actually.
