$50 million a season with ten episodes seems like quite a bargain compared to what Amazon spent for the first season of "The Rings of Power." That $50 million for a season wouldn't even cover a single episode of the latter.

Accounting for just the production budget of $465 million, when spread over The Rings of Power’s eight episodes, it results in a cost per episode of $58.1 million. But if we include purchasing the rights on top of that, it equates to a jaw-dropping $89.4 million per episode. In both instances, it makes The Rings of Power the most expensive TV show ever made and by some margin.

I'd be happy enough to see the top be a sleeve that's a screw-on and  replaceable battery. 

Given how often many people glance at their phones and how much additional hassle opening up a folding phone would be, I doubt the idea of a folding phone makes much sense.

Apple might be better advised to adopt a different idea, one that'd allow them to offer a larger-screen option—either folding or not—to all their latest model iPhones. The larger screen be a wireless extension of the existing screen much like people add an additional display to a MacBook. The usual UI would work with it just like on the iPhone itself, so the learning curve would be easy.

Wearing a Vision Pro to look at patient data, such as that captured during a CAT scan makes sense. Wearing it while talking with patients would be freakish. 

This is hardly surprising. The UK, once called the "mother of parliaments" for pioneering democracy and the rule of law, is rapidly becoming a faceless dictatorship of meddlesome bureaucrats." A UK barrister (courtroom lawyer) who calls himself the Black Belt Barrister, regularly exposes the grim progression. He is well worth following.
