> Transport uses up so incredibly much more energy, ... True. I never claimed otherwise. > ...almost none of which comes from sustainable sources at the moment. I know. The world is roughly at 80 % fossil energy right now, as far as I remember. Trust me on this, energy is one of the topics I spend time reading and thinking about several times a day. > Don't worry about a better USB cable if you're really concerned with the environment. Here's the thing. It's about this mentality of: this small thing here doesn't really matter. But people in this "ever more culture" reliably put one "small thing" after the other in their basket of consumption capacity .. until it's full. These people ask "I can have more, why shouldn't I?" rather than "I can have more, do I really want/need more?" Do you enjoy watching your movie at 8k 4 times more than at 4k because it comes with 4x the pixels? If you do, I pity you. I recently watched some Linus Tech Tips video where he installs their 1 PB of storage and boasts about their new camera that can record videos with a data rate of 300 MB/s ... 1 TB per 3 seconds ... yeah! ... sorry (not sorry), despite all my fascination with tech, this attitude is just so heinously wasteful and damaging. As if these hundreds of HDDs hadn't taken any ressources and weren't consuming quite a bit of electricity. Again .. > Don't worry about a better USB cable if you're really concerned with the environment. I don't worry about the cable. I worry about the f*** up culture/attitude.
