I think it’s absolutely right to put the spotlight on the terrible conditions for miners in the Congo. What I find very strange though, is that in all those years where cobalt was mainly used as a catalyst for refining gasoline, absolutely nobody gave a single shit about any of this.
Windows 10 EoL is fast approaching, so I thought I’d give Linux a try on some equipment that won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11. I wanted to see if I will be able to recommend an option to anyone that asks me what they should do with their old PC....
“Normal” computer users have no idea how to install software. Most people need someone to do this stuff for them anyway. For those Linux has a lot less potential for screwing things up. Anyone who is reasonably competent can pick up Linux in a few hours. Anyone who doesn’t care about the enshittification won’t bother. Anyone who does should make the effort.
By normal computer user i mean your granny or any of the people I have on the phone on a daily basis. Most of those people have only very rudimentary IT skills. A reasonably competent user is a couple of levels above that.
Simply put I have built a gaming tower that I have no monitor that will connect with the machine only having a BIOS and no OS. As I understand it, I need something that will connect with an HDMI cable, but that seems to be either a traditional monitor or a tablet.

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that’s it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can’t (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I...
All new cars have infotainment systems and computerized controls and displays these days. This is in no way specific to EVs. In Europe there is the Dacia Spring. That’s a very simple and down to the absolute essentials kind of vehicle. But not something I would ever want to drive.
Once solid state batteries are produced at scale it will truly be game over for ICE vehicles. Meanwhile the European and US manufacturers just whine and cry for protectionism while sitting on their hands.
Ich würde einfach Mal bei der Krankenkasse anrufen und denen den Fall schildern. Ich vermute, dass die dann die Praxis anrufen und die Sache ganz schnell aus der Welt ist.

Climbing Everest is essentially just playing Russian roulette. There are so many factors beyond your control that can kill you at any time. I really don’t understand why people are so crazy about this. Just so you can brag to your friends?
I think you’re wrong. If they actually cared about profits, it would be easy to understand that a healthy workforce is better. But these people just enjoy inflicting misery.
