Sorry, what? Even if you get rid of all plastic tomorrow and stop leaking of microplastics into every part of your life, you will still carry those particles with you. Basically forever.
So yeah, of course we need to address the root of the problem, but also we need therapies like this, cleaning out what is already in the body.
Not bricking them… yet.
You think it is important that the gain is small? For a company like Nintendo, number goes up means great! Number goes slight down, oh noes!
Pennies on one console become millions of pennies on millions of consoles. It’s obviously stupid but it’s all there is to it.
Yep, the article mentions they are going for an Uber-like model but with service agents. Hmmm, I wonder how well that is going to work for them…
That’s so Death Gear Stranding Solid… but with babies.
The list:
If you have a friend who is invested in this, sure. How many have one?
And paying some shady dude on the net versus paying a “reputable” company… I don’t think the average person will go for that either.
While I am in the same boat as you, you severely overestimate the tech-affinity of the average Netflix user.
Pirating content safely, setting up a media server for it, share it with other people… it is all possible, there is good documentation out there. But aside from having the drive to do this, you also need to invest time to keep it running and maintain it.
The average person out there is happy to pay Netflix money so they don’t need to do that.
Edit: add to that also the fact that it is technically illegal in many countries. This is probably also a deterrent for the average person.
So like what, 20?
I am sure the people who just lost their job will be super happy about that.
Much wow
Daaang, I forgot about the 4 (!!!) front cameras. Super creepy. Like, one is already bad and accepted but four…
If you restrict the crap out of the phones so there is not much interesting to do for kids, it will have similar effects. E.g. they complain about YouTube on their kids phones, block it. Complain about games, don’t let them install them.
Children’s smartwatches are a stripped-down version of a typical smartwatch, and they allow parents to restrict app downloads, usage and calls from an approved list of contacts.
All of that you can do with a phone too. I do admit thought the argument of not losing it as easily since its on your arm makes sense.
Yeah, that is me too. I tried Mastodon for a bit and it just didn’t work for me. Posting something just drowns you out until you actually have a decent amount of followers, however many that may need to be.
If I post with a new account, 99% of it goes into the void. I had a few people like and boost my posts but they were still gone into oblivion within an hour or less. Not sure how that is appealing? It is like a popularity contest. Like those cliques in schools of the popular kids.
You forgot my favourite one!
“My working hours are not your working hours, feel free to reply when you have the time” or however else it goes…
That is basically the “but Hitler built the highways” argument.
I think it is more of a hill than a goalpost.
