I think it is because 90% of company sustainability is simply greenwashing.
Fairphone also had the whole “fairbuds” thing where they released tws earbuds (and then removed the headphone jack) and supported them for under 2 years before throwing them away and they are completely non-repairable, then acted like they didn’t exist.
The new fairbuds are 10x better though, but I have heard the sound on both of their headphones is mediocre at best.
Something like endurain?
Lol now corpos are trying to monatize and monopolize walking.
What do they want our bodies and minds so frail using bionics and AI everywhere that without paying a subscription, we literally couldn’t leave the house?
Also not very searchable on engines, especially due to fediverse server name differences, you can’t !lemmy because many of the communities don’t have Lemmy in their domain or titles or however that works. At least I have only gotten Lemmy results for like 25% of my searches.
I have heard from tons of people, especially here on Lemmy who have tried to move people and communities over that it is often abandoned due to a huge amount of fundamental and UX problems that make it a huge pain to deal with and admin for and keep updated without a bunch of things breaking.
Yes but they hide that as much as possible.
If you are extremely lucky, there is a review for that model somewhere that isn’t just paid advertising, but outside of the US with less-used models, that is pretty much a fantasy.
For example, even on the most expensive 1400€ Series 8 models Bosch (traditionally one of the best quality washers in the EU) now instead of a drum with bolts and a gasket, plastic welds their drum covers so it doesn’t last as long, breaks at the seam, and is almost impossible to repair correctly.
And their specs say the size, capacity, programs, and a few useless features like automatic dosing, lighting inside, and “led display” , and that is it.
Generally export to the grid. Farms don’t use 500kW-1MW of energy usually.
Since industrial farms and oil company corruption have killed produce profits for human consumption, selling the energy is often more viable financially than the crops that grow under it, especially as far as upkeep with the absolute proprietary planned obselescense shit show that is the Agri equipment industry. Not to mention the insane Monsanto seed corruption and abuse. Many farmers are operating on a loss which has lead to regional monopolies as megacorps buy up bankrupt farms.
Going the agri-solar route could be the saving grace for many many farms. (Where it is viable at least and transmission is doable)
As an engineer, hybrid works best for many of us.
Design phase can be wfh with some in-person idea sessions or important meetings because I have yet to be at an online idea session that was as productive as in-person being able to draw things out and visualize better, and people tend to not speak up or just check out and agree at the end in online meetings.
Testing phase has to be mostly in person for lab tool access and collaboration on physical things.
I have worked with a contractor that did everything from home and had a whole home lab, but it was a big time sink and cost shipping parts back and forth 5 times and you couldn’t physically probe behaviors together which leads to slightly different setups and sometimes different results.
Socially I moved to a place where I had no friends so I like getting social contact at work since in Belgium, it is extremely difficult to make new friends after you are done with school because of a culture of not talking to anyone else unless people are obnoxiously drunk lol. I like wfh on overwhelming days and in-person on days where I want more social contact.
That being said, I work 100% in office now because I live a 12 minute bike ride from work, so very easy.
We use Belgian Bancontact, not visa/MasterCard here
This is also why people should seriously think about if they are ready to have a kid or want to have a kid.
Millions or tens/hundreds of millions of kids have parents that never really wanted them and just gave in to the biological clock and/or social pressures and the kids have a shitty childhood. It sucks to be unwanted, and kids can really feel it.
And there were tons of ones back in the day that didn’t cost that much either.
Surprise, cheap stuff existed then too, it just didn’t survive like the expensive appliances.
The difference is now the expensive stuff ALSO barely lasts at all.
They also have a batshit judicial culture and women apparently never get justice and most courts are a kind of semi-scripted kangaroo court.
Ace Attorney was specifically made as a parody of Japan’s courts IIRC.
Yes, many of my childhood best friends live a 9 hour flight away.
That’s literally how much they cost now, or even much more and they last 10 years or maybe 15
Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…
But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…
Axon tried to recruit me to make payload drones that definitely won’t be used to drop grenades and “definitely” won’t be sold to US police and paramilitary to drop chemical weapons on civilians because it is “against their company values” (the company that tazes each other as an initiation rite).
I was debating on doing it to try to make everything work as badly as possible and learn how to make civilian countermeasures, but I ended up telling them to go fuck themselves and that they were liars, in no uncertain terms.
I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.
Yes, but people are forgetting how it was discovered.
It was discovered because there was a visible performance impact by running benchmark tests on other, time-critical software.
Do you know how it was not discovered? By maintainers looking through changes of the software and looking through the code, exactly the way that the commenter and you and others are saying things would be caught.
If the attacker hadn’t been so eager and only set it to start working after a time delay a year later or multiple updates later? It would have infected almost every server in the world, even if it got noticed immediately, it would have been a giant problem that would have reaped the benefits for the malicious party before it could be regressed and changed.
KDE Discover also is good if you want to see/be notified that you have updated things and be able to uninstall/reinstall apps without the GUI bugging out.
Clickbait title in the OP, but they mean the methods coming out for tracking people without any electronic device on them at all via heavy filtering and pattern recognition to make 3D space snapshots due to the distortion in the WiFi transmission reflections.
What you are talking about are all surveillance devices based on compromising a specific device and using it to surveil an electronic device. The closest one of those device comes is the TAWDRYYARD which just communicates a position with light.
Though there is 0 doubt that this tech has been discovered and used by the NSA/mossad and other government intelligences already.
