After some thought, realized many delivery folks are required to have blood drawn for drug testing on a recurring basis (sometimes randomly).  I assume finger prints are also taken.  Maybe with huge drop in cost of DNA testing, they should also have computerized DNA sequences, which may be useful for analysis of any DNA left on switched/pilfered packages.  Evidence could be left from sneezing, I'd think.  Unsure if breathing or dead skin cells could also leave trace amounts of DNA.  

Looks like another recent trend is for a mob of folks to rob delivery trucks while the driver is walking boxes to a home or business.  This may require less organization than substituting counterfeit devices for the real thing.  Maybe hidden high definition cameras need to be installed on trucks.  

I wonder if there may be honest but careless substitution of the wrong items during packaging or shipping.  I see this every year or two with Amazon.  A book ships instead of a sink strainer.  A kitchen organizer ships instead of something much less expensive.  Something ships when I've ordered nothing.  Something takes 4 months to arrive.  A less expensive version is shipped than what I ordered.  

Seems as if wealthy firms and individuals think white collar crime (including evading tax) is good, but they hate it when they experience blue collar crime, such as shoplifting, theft from employees, or smash and grabs.  I see no difference between the two, except the former is usually MUCH larger theft.  If they don't want blue collar crime, then pay the taxes and don't cheat customers.  

I'd want either a UL or Canadian Standards Association certification.  Probably some other certification agencies outside of North America...  

Fast charging shortens the life of batteries, so it should only be used where REALLY needed (not for overnight charging).  I have a fast charger for use from a battery powered UPS (to charge cell phone during prolonged power outages of more than a day).  Probably should buy one to fit the cigarette lighter outlet in the car as well.  

Should be able to hold off buying any new Apple products until 2027.  Good chance solid state batteries will be available before then.  Solid state batteries should be half the price, half the weight, half the size, and much less flammable.  VW plans to have them on their EV cars by 2026.  

I'd be more worried about living close to a cell tower, TV or Radio broadcasting tower, or high tension power distribution cable.  In Russia and certain other countries some of the high tension cables carry up to 1 million volts.  I believe they are limited to 250,000 volts in the US, with some other countries having limits of 500,000 volts (or so I've read).  I've read claims of higher cancer rates near 500,000 to 1,000,000 volt high tension cables.  Seems to have been relatively high rates of cancer among early TV personalities (in the past, sometimes the studio and tower were within a very short distance, including one local CBS affiliate).  

Back in the 1930s to 1950s, x-ray was used to check the fit of shoes and screen visitors entering some prisons.  X-ray was also used to treat acne at the time.  Seems ill advised given what we know now (and should have known then).  Radium containing paint was used years ago on clocks.  

Have read that for ALL cell phones, it is a good idea to have the phone 2 feet away from your head.  At home, I only use land line (voice over IP) desk phones.  Several US Senators of both parties have died of rare brain cancers on the side of the head which they held a mobile or cell phone (John McCain and Ted Kennedy come to mind).  

"Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer. It has been developed by Intel, in collaboration with Apple.[7][8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011."  (Already 12+ years old.)

TB was originally intended to be an optical-based interface (thus the original name "Light Peak").  

"On 24 May 2017, Intel announced that Thunderbolt 3 would become a royalty-free standard to OEMs and chip manufacturers in 2018, as part of an effort to boost the adoption of the protocol.[132] The Thunderbolt 3 specification was later released to the USB-IF on 4 March 2019, making it royalty-free, to be used to form USB4.[103][133][134] Intel says it will retain control over certification of all Thunderbolt 3 devices.[135] Intel also states it employs "mandatory certification for all Thunderbolt products".[136]"
