Recycled plastic is also inferior quality with worse structural properties so it's not really suitable for many applications.

That's absolutely not true. Bluetooth has many "profiles" which define different capabilities. Here's a list of them. These are all defined in the official bluetooth standards.

Maybe you were thinking of the "core specification" which defines the underlying protocol but doesn't define the profiles? But that's just the way they broke up the spec documents. The profiles are still official parts of bluetooth.

Apple's proprietary extensions for audio are not part of any official specification though.

But they're probably still selling more CPUs to your average buyer who always buys Intel, doesn't read tech news and never even heard about the controversy.

Intel didn’t actually manufacture the chips.

The chips with the oxidisation issue were manufactured by Intel at their Arizona fab plant.

I saw another study which said vaccines reduced long covid by up to 50% depending on which strain it was.

Expected work hours seem to be increasing everywhere over the last twenty years or so. It's gotten pretty nuts.

Remember the time - two days ago - when Trump said he was going to ban all electric cars? I wonder how Elon feels about that.

Celebrities get wide latitude to protect themselves from imitators. Impressionists can do "satire" etc. but this isn't that. It's explicitly a reference to her voice in the movie, and as such she's protected by law from them going around her and hiring someone else to imitate her.
