In a finite resources world, with unsustainable levels of pollution and soon of climate change, I don’t understand why much more of EU regulation and enforcement resources are not spent towards mandatory hardware re-use. All computer vendor

My wife received a new phone case today. Hard to brake by design and function it was already encased in it’s retail box. And wrapped in a bubble bag. And in a plastic bag. And in another plastic bag.

I never understood people writing as there were, or are, no alternatives. For ad professionals perhaps or for content providers. Of any quality. But as a consumer all I needed to leave Goog was to try a few other search engines and settle o

Would it help to increase thickness? More weight and material, increased cost, to factor in the reduced trail of pollution every piece of single use plastic has?

Most commonly used languages are available on all platforms. Together with the vast cornucopia of their libraries. So if I want to develop on a Mac or Windows, as is common, native versions are available for either of them. For who target L

Still have to find a monitor large, affordable and with enough resolution to replicate two books from an encyclopedia open and ready on a desk. Also the internet can not replicate the social possibilities enabled by physical proximity.

Peak applications require the latest and most powerful tech. With it’s colossal trail of pollution from manufacturing. For the rest I often wonder if would not be better for the environment to re-purpose older, already made tech. Plenty of

At my university one assistant professor bought an Alpha powered PC. Don’t remember the brand but it was COTS as much as possible other students murmured. An attempt to find the economies of scale. Unfortunately the video card had no driver

Legacy code has still important real-life functions to drive. That is clear. That Intel has to thread carefully to dump in-hardware 16 bit compatibility mode in 2023 is just sad. I can also see why who does not have to deal with so much bag
