It does look strange when you compare it directly to a MacBook, but headphones are a weird category

Apple clearly optimized for the "always ready" experience, but it does feel awkward that the intended workflow involves putting them in the case

Putting it in or out of the case is not that big of deal (for me). However, once you take them out of the case you need to put that case somewhere, and you can't use headphone stand that was just holding them. So now I need a space for them when I don't use them and when I do use them, and it can't be the same space (in my scenario).

Does it? I haven't used the case since I bought them and don't feel like I'm missing anything.

Peat is probably the worst fuel from a carbon perspective

And Germany of all places mines huge amounts of brown coal, which is only barely not peat.

That's true to an extent, but it also sets a bar that almost no country could meet in a globalized economy

Generation technology got cheap quickly, but the grid expansion needed to support it moves at a much slower pace

The bigger issue might be whether the transition is being managed in a way that protects consumers

A lot of these plants were built in the 70s-90s and were expected to run 40–50 years. Instead many are shutting early because renewables plus carbon pricing have simply made them uneconomical

It is 2026 now. So thats 56 - 36 years from 1970-90. So it is not really a lot earlier than expected.

On the enforcement point, I suspect it won't be enforced against Linux in the abstract, but against companies with a legal and commercial presence in California

Probably because the OS is the only layer that's both upstream of the app store and (in some ecosystems) in a position to provide a standardized, system-level signal

That's an interesting point, but I suspect the biggest barrier isn't constitutional, it's behavioral
