Sorry, I have no experience with this hardware. Was a neat coincidence that I had just finished watching a new YT video LGR posted today showing off this cassette hardware when I saw your question.
Plusdeck 2 PC Cassette Deck
Tape Deck with Playback/Recorder
Can playback and make mp3s out of a cassette and the older ones can even record from the computer onto a blank cassette.
It may be along the lines of wishful thinking trying to have a more captive audience than in a browser. A browser has things like a home page, back button, bookmarks etc that are easily accessible. When you're in the app, everything points to more stuff in the app. One large metric appears to be engagement, its harder to track engagement in a browser than a dedicated app. Anything that keeps you engaged is good, anything that may lead you away is not. But its just as easy to hit the home button on a phone as well to get to the next thing.
Google found out something similar the hard way. It first programmed the cars to follow the rules strictly, other drivers didn't like this as they didn't act like other drivers, so they relaxed some of the rules.
Electoral college is a quite fascinating subject. There are a lot of pros and cons for it. How each state choses electors has been explicitly given to the states. Each state tends to have slightly different criteria. How different can they be before there is an issue? There appears to be a huge divide between the states and the parties. There is a big different between given the entire electoral votes to the party that has a plurality, vs a state and its population passing a law to allow binky the clown to choose those electors. Somewhere in that continuum of possibility, you would get a majority that would deem it improper for the clown case, but if a state and its voters decided that was the best way, how does another state get to say no to those people? The supreme court has said over and over they shouldn't adjucate political questions, unfortunately the makeup of it is extremely politicized now, could you imagine a SC justice getting 80-90 votes now? The question then becomes is where does it stop? If you allow standing, every state will flood the SC with all manner of good bad or other. The only solution I see to this current problem is to have a constitutional amendment to change how electors are chosen, or change the system outright. That is a near impossibility.
Rigged elections are not fine. If you have a problem with a state's election, you file a lawsuit on behalf of someone whose rights were actually violated. Oh right, lawsuits were filed in the right locations on behalf of people whose rights might have been violated, and most (all?) were dismissed due to lack of standing, lack of evidence or other deficiencies.
How quickly will people be making them up and/or selling them? I see service animal tags everywhere. If you dog yaps at every passing animal, it is not a properly trained service animal and shouldn't be in the stores.
Perhaps it's sonething like the following:
Say for instance, it cost intel $50 for a piece of silicon and sells it to apple for $300. In apples designs, they could incorporate Nearly any cost of silicon and wouldn't affect The built sales price, because it's fairly decoupled from what they charge?
25% down is probably 5 times or more too high. Also, the reason vehicle manufacturers are so keen on SUVs and trucks? >35k base prices to more than double that easy with add ons.
