Graphene is being used in certain high sensitivity/quality sensor chips.

That’s really awesome

Same could be said about 90% of things humans do.

While I agree, we don’t do enough, can you say your job directly impacts the environment for the positive? If not, then you, like me, like them, are part of the problem.

Plasma gasification can self sustain and generate power

It’s so fucking weird

I guess, but I dunno, that still seems dubious to me.

I never understood why people would want polluted air and water, blows my mind.

Cool, with the phone on silent (which I don’t do) I’d have missed that too, and would have been cancelled and rescheduled.

This adamant denial that phone calls are useful is weird.

Tell that to the delivery driver that called me because they were outside with my groceries.

Only if it’s right by you or isn’t in your bag or something. Hence audible alerts, they break through the physical barriers.

I don’t really get the whole not answering the phone thing. I hate phonecalls but I always answer my phone.

The amount of important calls I’d have missed if I buried my head in the sand like that is insane.

Sure if 90% of the calls were sales or scams I’d think differently, but there are ways to prevent that too.

I find it weird that everyone has their phone on silent all the time too. If mine was on silent I’d never look at it unless I’m bored.

Maybe it’s time to design a super slim case for mine that has a keyboard, only I worry it’ll be top heavy

I think I’m okay with that tbh. I miss my Blackberry Torch. Full touch screen on the front and a slide out keyboard

God I miss real keyboards like this.

BTW, I work for one of those evil games companies that do reprehensible things, because I like having a good working environment and having a well paying job. You too have a good day.

With every word out of your mouth, you paint a more detailed picture of just how shitty a person you are despite your supposed ethics.

Feel free to pick up the brush and continue painting at the bottom of this message…

I use GPT and CoPilot at work and they’ve definitely made my life easier and me more productive. I guess that it depends on what management expects of the employees. It’s not a magic bullet.

Also freelancers are saving the day? Whelp, looks like full time jobs are on the chopping block then. And I wish that this was restricted to the American corporate hellscape but unfortunately their bullshit is like a bad infection that spreads across the world.

Same here. I’ll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.

It was 69B

Not sure where you’re getting that from but okay. I’m not going to argue with you. I also didn’t know that stating that a political party is shit was xenophobic, I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I hope you have a great day.

Careful, the mods consider what I said radical and breaking lemmy rules (gestures vaguely). Apparently independent operating systems are a taboo here.

We need more OS’s built outside of the US, pity this one is written by the Chinese government.

Nice

I guess you’re right… Need a Linux distros like that so that can also change.

IPad? From an even worse company? Linux all the way.

Pro and Ent are way easier to “spoof”

I’ve blocked the Win11 upgrade on my work laptop via GPO, but I’m a sys eng, so have full control.

This is in my top 10 reasons not to switch. You can make them small still via a registry edit, but then it messes up the date/time display.

That sounds exhausting

Have you ever developed for apple? Apple is it’s own biggest gatekeeper. People don’t want to develop for them.

Think of the corporations and all their lost profits! Next, the internet! That place is rife with copyright infringement.

Yeah, I have a bunch of old phones that I rescued and I’d love to set them up as an arm kubernetes cluster to play with.

The insatiable need for thinner and lighter phones means that every new version of gorilla glass allows them to make it thinner. A 1mm piece of gorilla glass holds up way better than the thin shit they use.

I was really excited to see that OnePlus has official parts distributors that sell oem parts. I got a new battery, USB port, seal, screen protector and battery pull tab for $90. Just a pity it costs $300 for a new screen.

I wish the EU would take action on this, extend the lifetime of Win10 another 10 years.

While capitalism is a disease, publicly traded companies are the festering wounds. When the product becomes investor sentiment, the only thing that matters is making more profits at any cost

Here’s a better idea, batteries that you can unscrew from the earbud.

Too many rare earth metals we’ve abused and killed people and destroyed the environment for.

I worry that it’ll just become a million distros with incompatible apps and dumb shit like that. Bad enough we have to have 5 or 6 guides for each piece of software on Linux.

Im.glad apt, yum and systemd exist.
