It's useful for ISPs to rent a bigger pipe to you every month. It's also useful for Netflix/Hulu/etc to make you switch to a more expensive account. Etc.
But for you? Unless you like sitting right in front of your TV with a magnifying glass, it's useless.
Some coins have been designed to be ASIC-resistant, so yes a price drop should affect availability of GPUs.
On the other hand, some coins like Reddcoins which are proof-of-stake don't use raw processing power so don't affect GPU availability one way or another.
A prime example being that standard of living somehow explains your wasteful energy consumption.
That's why I mentioned SUVs as an example. That's a wasteful method of transportation for the city yet a lot of people drive those for no reason other than "it's more secure than small cars". By that logic everyone in the USA should be driving armoured fighting vehicles. Another example is living in a McMansion, watching Netflix on a 100" TV using an Xbox One instead of living in a normal-sized home and watching Netflix on a 30" TV using an Apple TV/Roku/etc. Some of the living choices in the USA are just wasteful. I'm happy that the tiny house mouvement started in the USA though, it shows a lot of people are finally realizing that sometimes it's just too much.
The problem is that Google's own Chrome browser no longer displays "Extended Validation" sites with a green block in the address bar. Try going to a DV SSL website and an EV SSL website and you'll see a green padlock with the word "Secure" before the actual URL.
Same thing in Safari, in my old Safari version 9 I see a big green rectangle but in the latest versions that has also disappeared.
So while EV certificates are more secure, it's like the companies behind the browsers don't really care about helping the users identify the more secure websites from the ones that are simply using an encrypted connection.
You seem to be fixated on phones but we're also talking about computers here. There can't be much room to lower the profit margin on a 400 dollars laptop.
Since Tim Cook took over, prices have been going up. On top of that, exchange rates make these increases even worst. If you add an Orange Tax on top of both of those, it means Apple products would cost nearly twice the competitors products.
I don't mind paying a little extra to be able to use macOS, but at these prices all he's doing is pushing people to Linux and BSD while at the same time loosening our dependance on Intel and AMD later on.

Turn in your geek card yourself. Gagh isn't specific to ST:DS9.

I don't care what's coming next. I'm staying at 1080p, which is more than good enough for my eyes.

Yes, but how do they know you are buying a new Apple product?
That's a good thing, my doctor told me I needed more fiber.
I'm sorry but you can keep your low-bandwidth video crap to yourself.
I mean seriously, how can you even watch anything that's been compressed to 4kbps?
With each news release from Alphabet/Google, it seems we'll soon see them convert into Aperture Science Labs.

I just went to the bathroom. Does that count?
Score: +5, Sarcasm.
See: SUVs, fossil-fuel based power plants such as coal, anti-science President and wasteful American way of life.
A strange game.
The only winning move is not to play.
USA and Canada are as different from each other as are the USA and the UK.
All these problems could have been avoided if Let's Encrypt had know about RFC 3514.
Well they are called Twitter, after all.

Comment did you guess, eh?

I do not know, I do not live there.
Teens and younger millennials are leaving Facebook, audiences 30 years+ are smart enough to have never trusted Facebook in the first place.
That leaves the even older audiences still using Facebook, but those are old enough to still watch cable/satellite and don't care about online videos.
As always, Facebook did a great job researching their target market!
Inflation-pwoof!
