Non-profit organizations still exist within the capitalist system. Just because they don't pay out dividends to shareholders doesn't mean they can't be exploitative. If a non-profit makes a lot of money, the people who run it just increase their own salaries. Happens all the time. And yes, non-profits exploit labor all the time. Local arts councils are an easy example of this. Run an art show where the venue and food are donated. They take a fee at the door, ask for donations throughout, and require a cut of any art sold. If there's a bar, they get a cut of that too. The artists who enabled the show to even exist did all their labor for free in exchange for exposure and maybe selling something. They see none of the take though. Sounds pretty capitalist to me.

You can pull the form 990 for any non-profit in the US pretty easily. Here's Mozilla's: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200097189

From the article:

The system then translates the speech and maintains the expressive qualities and volume of each speaker’s voice while running on a device, such mobile devices with an Apple M2 chip like laptops and Apple Vision Pro. (The team avoided using cloud computing because of the privacy concerns with voice cloning.)

HP shut it down, so it's effectively a paperweight or trash otherwise. Judging by the image of it sitting on a desk in a 3D printed enclosure, I'd say they're probably not using it for its original purpose anyway. Pretty easy to solder in a bigger battery if you're not trying to walk around with it.

The worst is that battle between my desire to turn the A/C off because it's loud and I can't think and my need to put it on full blast because it's 100 degrees outside.

I finally understand the Winnie-the-Pooh comparisons, and now I want to see a jacked Pooh Bear. Maybe a sexy Eeyore and a scrawny tweaker Tigger too.

Absolutely diabolical. Cutting off internet access is no different than cutting of electricity in modern society. Sure, you can live without it, but everything from paying your bills to getting a job or having a social life just got a whole lot harder. Fuck anyone who thinks this is a reasonable response.
