Also annoyed by this. One small thing to help: if you long press on the Stocks widget, you can edit to hide the "Stories".

That was my take as well. I'm not convinced that BTC is technically or ethically "worth" the energy usage either way, but this is a useful/nuanced perspective.
Energy usage is distributed across industries and sectors, and we frequently criticize oil/gas and automobiles. Other technologies, like batteries, seem to avoid the laser-focus of the eco-oriented press. Batteries are very energy-heavy/carbon-heavy to produce. For example, the total carbon impact of a Tesla may in fact be higher than a conventional automobile. [1]
Point is: understanding total environmental costs of any technology is a Hard Problem.

This reminds me: One of the best books about a long walk is Patrick Leigh Fermor's "Time of Gifts" (and the subsequent books). Memoirs of his time before WW2 literally walking from one side of Europe to the other.
His cultural insights, historical perspective, and witty language are all exquisite.

Target has been doing this for a while now, via their acquisition of Shipt.

Bummer. I own one and use it every day for listening to high quality audio on an old stereo setup. The sound quality is so great!
I routinely buy these for friends/family who want better digital audio setups and they tend to work great. I’ve never had any issues.
The best feature is “Ok, Google, play X.” When combined with Spotify’s amazing music index (really good for rare recordings/composers/etc), this is a super powerful mechanism to play any music at high quality. Best of all I can do it without needing to look at my phone and fend off the distractions there.

That's the UI that I remember from that time. Nothing in the auth dialog mentions access to Messages.
