a lot of pressure to not go solar and the whole overhype movement i've seen was mainly endorsed by those with vested interest in other forms of energy. big oil, coal, nuclear etc. there's a lot of energy we are not harvesting due to battery technology. hell we can honestly pull energy out of the air during a storm, it would make the area safer because lightning itself could be used as a way to charge up batteries. but the batteries are just not there, there are very cheap ways of storing energy though, gravity being one of those primitive technologies. pumping water up a spout etc. but i don't think solar itself will be all we need, i agree with that part. but we have a lot of unused energy that we can take advantage of if people allow their mind to explore new sources of renewables
until china starts moving for better rights for their citizens, i am afraid they should be held at arms length. cannot trust a government that lies that over 1 million people are just being "re-educationed" and "happy" and "want to be there", there is a reason for distrust and it's not "xenophobic" to point out the regimes bs, the people of china deserve a better government. don't even get me started on hong kong. the whole situation is not fun
yeah you are onto something. massive supply chains have a ton of carbon footprint. which some people that doesn't matter but for someone like myself, i am a bigger fan of less carbon emissions. i wonder if there is a way we can build an etching machine and print chips somehow, the process seems a little clearer after watching this simplified video. i think it can be done, everything complex is just a bunch of simple steps, solve each step and get closer to the goal. might be fun to create a github type community where people push their ideas to a source control platform where others can chime in and give their input. so like open source chip manufacturing, kinda like how 3d printers started out with makerbot and other open source printer projects.
i think it can be done and it would be fun. we have to filter out people who have a vested interest in chip manufacturers because they may try to over complicate the process to protect their purse. so like a vouch system, where we know the people coming in have the right heart and won't purposely screw up moral
you nailed it on the head. some players want to control public opinion rather than changing their business model or philosophy closer to what the people want
was this because all joe biden videos had more downvotes than upvotes? just kidding but all jokes aside i don't think getting rid of the dislikes is a good idea.
i know so many inner city repair people, people of color who's business relies on fixing these phones. apple is effectively trying to dismantle these businesses by doing this type of tampering, i don't think it's right and it's effecting an already vulnerable segment of society.
this is where my mind was going, trying to remain positive and less conspiracy theory though. but it's really not secret that some companies (presumably pharmaceutical companies as well) have to stay in business and sometimes in order to do so, many companies build products that wear out, see how gillette razors came about for more insight on that
it's because they know at this point there are too many people who have adopted it. it is easier to screw over 1 person, but hundreds of millions of people, you may have some civil disobedience. but that's just a theory, change of administration probably plays a bigger role than that. old heads back then not understanding the idea behind crypto and feeling threatened because of it etc
imagine is someone used this to look for photos of people with certain facial features, that would be terrifying. i could see how this could be used for a lot more sinister applications. technically it could be used for just about anything, i know there are many countries that view same sex couples as illegal, so technically it could be used for that. nobody is really safe with a privacy obstruction like this, it's only a matter of time before the app store hashes photos from 3rd party apps as well. i was shocked at the extent to which apple panders to countries that do not allow encryption. anyone who has submitted an app to the app store knows what i am referencing, honestly, these apps like telegram, signal etc, after seeing what apple requires for app submission i would not use them anymore. you are better off using another system total that gives the user more control over the os. surprised there are no startups aiming to allow users more control over their hardware when it comes to phone safety
this would be a huge leap, i wonder at which point the government will require these firms to open their data to each other for safety purposes. if you think about it, when it comes to self driving cars, data is safety. the quality and quantity are of that data can literally mean life or death when it comes to self-driving cars. it'll be interesting to see what the future looks like
