If you have vision problems, US currency is totally unfriendly to you. Unlike other countries, which have bills of different sizes, all the US currency bills are the same size, so getting change as a blind person is basically relying on the honesty of whoever is behind the counter.

Yes. I used to work at a movie theater, where all transactions were to the nearest $0.25 because it made it easier for the kids like me behind the counter to count the change and not lose track... seemed sensible at the time and that was 20 years ago.

What incentive does Apple have to comply in advance? Every government wants to have their stamp on it, trying to build ahead of the specifications risks building something that is not compliant.

>I have five excellent-condition still-perfectly-working Apple products next to me, none of which have current operating system support from Apple.
If they're working perfectly, why does it matter if they have current operating support? It doesn't seem like you're dependent on Apple.

Would be interested to know the terms of the severance. Non-disparagement seems likely, but noncompetes are not enforced in California. So if you were trying to leave anyway, seems like a win/win.
