I’m non-binary so I get infinite jumps :)

The “I’m not a smart man” sent me 😂

I’m glad you are capable of recognizing it and changing!

Yes, you’re not a corporation, you’re an individual person. The difference is scale.

I totally am lol.

If they do feed the grid, they’ll probably get some credit back which ultimately lines their pockets instead of funding public infrastructure.

Producing clean water is a multi-faceted problem, your locale may require a different or multiple different solutions.

Multiple solutions are often nice cause you don’t have to rely on a single solution if one goes down or has issues.

What? No, my friend you misunderstand. Mass-production makes stuff affordable and scalable. Capitalism makes it so wealth is horded and only the rich get to decide what gets made. You vote with your dollar while a billionaire votes with theirs, guess who wins.

Mass-production is not a capitalism-exclusive unlock, it’s a dlc that can be redeemed in any economic system.

That… makes a lot of sense, I hadn’t considered that.

That totally makes sense that they would need pure sand, idfk how to make that work. But if Intel needs rounded sand grains, then they need to find another way to erode sand into that shape cause ocean sand is quite unique from the billions of years it’s had to tumble in the ocean. Otherwise Intel will indeed be using ocean sand.

Also it occurred to me that making chips on glass could be more recyclable since glass is also recyclable. 🤔 Would be good if that happens!

Sand is a non-renewable resource

Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.

I just hope this doesn’t mean Big Tech is incentivized to buy up lots of beach sand from poor cities already dealing with hurricanes.

Beach sand, if you didn’t know, is an important barrier between the land and oceans and greatly affects the size of waves that come crashing into the coast. Big rocks and other substrates just don’t calm waves like ocean-eroded sand can.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.

Thanks for the article OP, but it’s got a clickbatey headline, it doesn’t actually answer what took so long (or investigate why they made the change in the first place.)

I mean… I’d still prefer no hole punch at all.

Edit: Not that I actually care what apple does directly, but it does ripple through the industry of copycats

So thaaaat’s why I like clicking pens as a fidget but don’t love it when others do it in my proximity.

Hey, some of us take the time to cite our sources!

“Efficient employee” is corpo speak for “abused and compliant worker”. Of course they wouldn’t fire the people that give them the most results for the least in return.

Edit: I do work 40 hours/week and it’s bullshit. I don’t reply to corporate shills

It’s a fair question, and also this conversation leaves out the necessity of public transportation which would be a much better way to reduce pollution (which EV fans will often say is why you need an EV).

Honestly, detecting criminals in the stock market isn’t a bad idea, the problem is they all are.

We can only hope
