>Steel based circuits and solder? Glass based circuit boards?

Both steel and glass expand massively with higher temperature. Anything to mount these components on will need to have a heat-extension factor close to the components - and even more to the hypothetical solder. Hypothetical because they most certainly will have to find something less temperature dependent.

Yes, but this is not the data protection or consumer's rights authority investigating but the antitrust watchdog. Completely different department. In which way publishers and/or Apple are allowed to track users is a different matter. Here it is about Apple tracking them while keeping the data and their monetarization for itself.

Friend of mine, a quite serious, intelligent guy, non-technical used to be a convinced audiophile. In a discussion I asked him how his "audiophile" equipment could make recorded music sound more "realisitic" when there was no "audiophile" equipment used to record it because no studio in the world follows audiophile "standards" through the whole production chain, assuming that this sort of tech even axisted at the time of recording (which it didn't, most of the time). So, to make a difference his audiophile machinery would have to add somethig that was not there at the time of recording thus altering the sound. Which makes the whole audiophile idea collapse. I could see his world crush in his face and he never mentioned audiophillistery ever again.

It will as soon as with the next rolling upgrade be integrated as "systemd.bsodd". It might break boot, logging, TCP/IP routing and power off, will require all system configs to be encoded in cuneiform, but realistically there's no alternative because the old DRM panic screen is obsolete and beyond maintainability.
