Yes, you're not a corporation, you're an individual person. The difference is scale.

If they do feed the grid, they'll probably get some credit back which ultimately lines their pockets instead of funding public infrastructure.

Producing clean water is a multi-faceted problem, your locale may require a different or multiple different solutions.

Multiple solutions are often nice cause you don't have to rely on a single solution if one goes down or has issues.

What? No, my friend you misunderstand. Mass-production makes stuff affordable and scalable. Capitalism makes it so wealth is horded and only the rich get to decide what gets made. You vote with your dollar while a billionaire votes with theirs, guess who wins.

Mass-production is not a capitalism-exclusive unlock, it's a dlc that can be redeemed in any economic system.

That... makes a lot of sense, I hadn't considered that.

That totally makes sense that they would need pure sand, idfk how to make that work. But if Intel needs rounded sand grains, then they need to find another way to erode sand into that shape cause ocean sand is quite unique from the billions of years it's had to tumble in the ocean. Otherwise Intel will indeed be using ocean sand.

Also it occurred to me that making chips on glass could be more recyclable since glass is also recyclable. 🤔 Would be good if that happens!

Sand is a non-renewable resource

Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.

I just hope this doesn't mean Big Tech is incentivized to buy up lots of beach sand from poor cities already dealing with hurricanes.

Beach sand, if you didn't know, is an important barrier between the land and oceans and greatly affects the size of waves that come crashing into the coast. Big rocks and other substrates just don't calm waves like ocean-eroded sand can.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you're not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.

I mean... I'd still prefer no hole punch at all.

Edit: Not that I actually care what apple does directly, but it does ripple through the industry of copycats
