That's not really how it works given that so many devices have HDMI ports.
If we expect to make hardware devices that are generally compatible with interfaces non-technical users use, then excluding an entire class of common modern interface spec isn't a great choice.
It'll be fine for now but as the specs bump up inversion and HDMI changes over time is just going to get worse
We're not pretending, this is an asinine view.
Two things can be true at once. It's surprising how difficult a concept this is to grasp.
Social media accelerated this, it provides the vehicle in which to make culture wars the only thing at the front of people's minds. It accelerated division and hate, as these improve platform attention.
Let's not even talk about the death of critical thinking which just allows this to happen to greater effect.
Rising wealth inequality because a side effect of us not fighting a class war which is a side effect of us being completely focused on culture wars which is a side effect of social media.
I mean that applies to literally everything
Everything that you make an investment in has some measure of liquidity.
Y'all are being played by more Russian bots....
The amount of Labor that would go into it it really isn't that high.
This is what distribution is for.
The company that owns the hardware is not the company that recycles it. The recycler can make a profit by reselling these components, they're not allowed to.
Many of these components still have to be pulled out so that labor cost is already a wash. The additional labor cost of testing, selling, packaging, and shipping is baked into the price in the secondary market.
Not everything is worth being resold, but many things are and those things are often not allowed to be resold due to destruction contracts.
I disagree.
I don't necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven't encountered.
Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I've found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.
Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.
This doesn't mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
Define "inciting"
This is where things get tricky. Leave that ambiguous and technically anything can be "inciting" if it's in words.
Whether that's racism, or anti-authoritarianism, or just speaking I'll about your government.
Freedom of speech, as a concept, doesn't work if it applies only to some speech. Controls around it will be abused and used against you at some point (Look at where the U.S. is heading).
This makes me nervous about more authoritarianism, as it sets a dangerous precedent that can be abused.
All devices on the computer consume power.
The CPU being the largest in this context. Older processors usually don't have as aggressive throttling as modern ones for low power scenarios.
Similarly, the "power per watt" of newer processors is incredibly high in comparison, meaning they can operate at much lower power levels while running the same workload.
In the fall/winter in northern areas it's free! (Money that would already be spent on heating).
Summer is a negative though, as air conditioning needs to keep up. But the additional cost is ~1/3rd the heat output for most ACs (100w of heat require < 30w of refrigeration losses to move)
I want to reduce wasteful power consumption.
But I also desire ECC for stability and data corruption avoidance, and hardware redundancy for failures (Which have actually happened!!)
Begrudgingly I'm using dell rack mount servers. For the most part they work really well, stupid easy to service, unified remote management, lotssss of room for memory, thick PCIe lane counts, stupid cheap 2nd hand RAM, and stable.
But they waste ~100 watts of power per device though... That stuff ads up, even if we have incredibly cheap power.
Naw, they will figure out how to target you specifically.
A knife generally tears, it separates the material in front, causing it to tear ahead of the blade.
