That is why we need open hardware specs, open-source firmware and a right to reverse-engineer out of market devices. Like OpenWRT or LineageOS, they keep old devices usable for long and reduce electronic waste.

My TP-LINK Wifi-N router bought in 2010 still works nicely on latest OpenWRT and I assure you it runs software more up to date than 99% of closed firmware devices currently on the market. Open-source firmware is a way to go to stay current

You can try to worship "god" thru appreciation of surrounding nature, laws of physics, math, life complexity. Just use common sense and your own moral barometer.

This. There is a group of computer illiterate people who do important work for our society but they were forced to work or learn from home, a team viewer sessions once or twice a day is really refreshing to see how our IT skills are useful

Depends what means old document. My 8 years old induction stove glass surface broke by accident and I got full price money back from my home insurance. They were ok with photos of the device and pdf purchase receipt from my email archive.

This planet has finite resources and exponential GDP growth is dead end. Without change in a way our economies work artificially destabilizing ecosystems will only do more harm in a long term. The method in article is like using air freshen

Wouldn't it be easier to stop all economies for a month or two every year? And employ entire population to plant trees.

Have you tried HDMI to USB video capture? If you computer has enough power you may pass-thru USB3 and audio into VirtualBox with Windows guest running Camtasia. To avoid extra hardware maybe even VNC would be enough. That is just a hack ide

That may be quite cool for demos and entertainment. But no way in the office - eye strain after 8h day must be severe. I would spend same money on 27" e-ink display once such is available.

Well, you would be worse if you put your money there and then be kicked-out by some AI rule. And ofc vague notification, no refund, no way to appeal, just a /dev/null form to send complaints. I already see these HN headlines: &quo

On the other hand it is unlikely Redis would be so popular if it stared as paid software.

The final feature I am waiting for is a way to control browser extensions per container. No extension should be running when I login to my bank or insurance portal.

I think the killer distributed app would be some kind of peer cache of videos from yt, vimeo and so on. You watch YT and your browser stores the movie then shares it like webtorrent. G decides it doesn't like the movie, bang - deleted!
