Why can't Apple set whatever pricing they want? Unless you're arguing that Apple has a monopoly. Also it's not a tax, though arguably it can be termed an "economic rent" (a technical term) that can be considered exc

Is it theoretically possible for a driver to be written for the Wii to support dongleless play with the "Nintendont" homebrew app? It would of course require driver modifications, and I don't know if the existing 2.4GHz radio

In part it's because SF is relatively old. BART is 50 years old, and New York Subway is over 100 years old. Check back on China's gleaming rail system and newly constructed cities in 50 or 100 years. You can bet it will look older

SLS is super heavy class like Starship. It deploys about 100 tons to orbit in Block 1 configuration. New Glenn deploys half that. Closer to a Falcon Heavy. You can't really do a moon program without a super heavy rocket.
