The chin bar lines up with the ports (USB and power) on the back, and is probably where the speakers are. So I think they prioritized thinness, which meant there was not enough room for screen+board+ports stacked, and they had to offset the

No. Even nonprofits (see Wikipedia) have to follow strict rules about licensing images or face legal consequences. They also do a good job of policing this on-upload, something that a site like Wikifeed does not. https://en.wik

Indeed. Even if eating meat caused zero deforestation (directly or indirectly), it's super inefficient. If everyone stopped eating meat, 75% of the land used for farming could be re-wilded. That land area is something like China, th
