You don't need this is stop innovations in CPUs, any new CPU will be for non-computers or for servers - for the same reason that Linux is not yet king of the desktops, which is that people need their computers to run old software.

Phones are much easier to solve problems with, but your kid doesn’t need you to call. He can ask the workers for directions.

I am sorry but that’s not what I want in my tools. I want my designs pre Bauhaus and powerful thank you very much. I am sure some genius designer can make it work, but when even Apple fucks it up, I don’t want someone who tries.

As a driver I make mistakes, which should be punished less harshly than outright freely chosen actions. I certainly expect more than losing my license if I run you over deliberately. As for thieves aren’t they normally banned from that stor

Then the free market will solve that problem too: those who have excess land will take the stuff of our hands for a small fee. Put it into old coal mines as an example.

The article is in Danish, but apparently until 1917 it was normal to be super drunk at work: so much so that many factory workers would drink half a bottle of booze before lunch and the rest after lunch + whatever beers was normally drunk.

They don't need that today, but only the cheapest laptops are sold with less than 8gb today, so if they are to last for 10 years you need 16gb today, because that is also what you are going to be stuck with in ten years. Your annecdote

Thats assuming that the higher alcohol prices have not caused people to spend more on alcohol and less on things like food or necessities for their families or turned to other sources of alcohol (homebrewed and therefore more dangerous).

Sounds like a good way for me to never vote for you and your nanny party, and to become more likely to support extremist parties if you end up getting enough votes anyway.

Screw the batteries, its the tiny amount of RAM that is going to kill the laptops. We need to make it so that soldered on RAM can only be sold if the laptop ships with at least a certain amount of RAM. Should properly be 16 now, then 32 in

If you reread the post you are commenting on, he literally says he is not going to throw it away, so the environment cost is zero.

I don't think that matters too much if just one physical meeting gets replaced with a phonecall or a video call we are miles and miles ahead on the CO2 budget.

It way be the freshest take on the subject I have seen, but it runs into the same problem that all climate activism has: Okay, you have now raised my awareness sufficiently. What do you want me to do that can credibly solve this problem? It

I am listening to the unabridged audiobook for Les Miserables. Victor goes into tons of unnecessary detail about things - as an example they arrive at a monestary and he tells the entiry story of the place, including details and rules for w

Thats a bold claim, especially when TFA has this quote: >Proof of personhood is valuable because it solves a lot of anti-spam and anti-concentration-of-power problems that many people have, in a way that avoids dependence on centralized

If you are going to post comments like that you need to post evidence, otherwise its just a cheap attempt to poison the waters.

For one thing, I now have to be logged in on my mail on the device I am using, and that means if the device is unsafe, I am exposing far more of a risk that way. It also forces me to look at my email inbox, which can be a pretty annoying th

The system they will choose will be to get a new token by logining in with their email. It will effectively be the same as those places that send you a login email after you have entered your password for security or harrashment (looking at

I am going to assume that is an honest question: yes, with Comcast you pay on a monthly basis, so they are well within their rights to cancel.

I am one of those who opposes government attempt to solve global warming, because all the attempts are the usual hairebrained moves of people completely out of their depth. GW will be solved by new technology, or not solved at all. It has t

Sure they do - but you can have Outlook show your upcoming meetings in your Outlook sidebar, so you can see everything upcoming on a single computer screen. Individually all of these apps are shit, the value is that they work well together.

Agreed. I get the "You aren't done till you give up" and "I have been knocked down 55 times, I got up 56 times" thing, but it can blind you to a tactics issue. But there has to be at least two things wrong here, sin

Books have been available for a long time and they also have quite a high status - so unless there was something else to it, why wouldn't most people be reading books?

I don't get why OP is downvoted. We have a (nearly) perfectly round globe and the first thing we did with it was to carve it into pieces. Rerun the human race 1000 times. Do you think Russia will show up more than a handful of times?

Its was always hilarious to me that you could get communists tee shirts very easily - as long as you where willing to pay for them. I guess I never really thought that commodification also worked for the values I grew into.

That seems like a big loop hole: have all repairs done by TimWillFix, which charges the same cost to everybody, including Apple. Apple owns TimWillFix. Done. Prices are non-discriminary and independents get shafted.
