I feel like 9/11 was the inflection point. The great recession was just another symptom of the problem. Banks can’t get overwhelmed by underwater mortgages if people aren’t underwater in the first place.

There’s always a limit to how expensive you can make a product/service before people will simply stop paying for it. Trying to find that balance point can be damned difficult.

Until they release a Jaws/Sharknado crossover.
I mean, you can. Probably shouldn’t though.

Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.
Not all of them. Some of the carbon atoms will have decayed into (I think) nitrogen.

IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"1·4 days agoI work in a factory making turbine engines, if I worked in a factory making 50k$ watches we would produce just as much CO2.
You absolutely would not. Not even remotely close.
Also, you’re ignoring the emissions over the lifetime of the thing. As soon as the watch is manufactured, it’s emissions contribution is done. That turbine will continue generating emissions over it’s entire existence.
Not by the usual definition. The carbon, etc that used to form the cyanobacteria is completely broken down and formed into miscellaneous hydrocarbons. There’s no petrified remains, nor rock impressions of the bacteria.

IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.worksto Android@lemdro.id•The USB-C dream is dead and it’s too late to revive itEnglish10·5 days ago“Extensive manual reading” Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?
Maybe I’m the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don’t want my phone fast charging. It’s bad for the battery. I’ll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.
The point of USB-C wasn’t to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.
The scary part is that there absolutely is logic to it. They’re still just slightly short of being willing to say that part out loud.
