I don't know about plastic containers, toothpastes tubes but this seems to be demonstrated on a glass bottle, so it seems to be a no brainer. Tiny coating made of food-grade stuff, versus leftover food in the bottle. I believe the recycling consists of melting the glass shards / broken bottles / bottles in a oven?, so it'd be incinerated and the glass waste is full of beer labels, drops of wine and sticky stuff etc. anyway. If so I think the main benefit is people will throw the glass with other discarded glass rather than throw in in the trash due to food sticking to it.
But, I wonder if that works with mayonnaise. In my country ketchup comes in plastic and mayonnaise, mustard in glass. Rinsing mayonnaise just creates a silly mess as it's mostly made of pure fat. I'm glad we can talk of such important and urgent matters LOL.
Wow, running "vanilla" sensors-detect did work, I think I had not tried that for a looong time. (Motherboard is old). You have to understand what the hell it displays and prompts you. It gave me the name of a kernel module for the Super I/O chip, you load it and everything is there albeit the voltage are almost all wrong, like they think they're measuring 3.3 volts voltages. One is at "0.10 volt", maybe that's the mysterious -12V. First one seems to be an accurate vcore, second one maybe memory controller voltage or such. Mobo temps are accurate, fan speeds are there. Thanks.
Too bad e.g. +5V and +12V aren't labeled and aren't showing properly calibrated values (they'd do with Windows and Speedfan). They're unlabeled and fluctuate around "+3.2V". I don't know if there's a good reason for that - does wiring depend on motherboard? Anyway, it's very close to everything working, but with fairly nonsensical values still. Only lacking a small final step. So I can understand the monitoring is not enabled by default (save for CPU temp and GPU temp, which are separate and consistent across different machines, so they're enabled by default)
So there's my little report, however boring it might be.
I'd like if the voltage sensors worked under linux. I wanted to blame libsensors but I was told to blame desktop motherboards. You can run memtest once in a while as a weak alternative to ECC on a desktop but you can't diagnose the power supply without Windows.
You might have a couple hundred tasks, threads or processes that sit there and collectively eat about 0.1% CPU time. Some are daemons waiting all day for you doing something that use them, some are GUI threads that similarly do nothing. They're like that guy who sits in a basement full of military archives and watches TV all day, only doing actual work for a couple minute once every week or month when someone comes to visit him.
That story did a poor job explaining what such a vGPU is, i.e. not explaining it at all. I am fairly confident you need an expensive AMD Fire Pro or equivalent graphics card, and nvidia might lock the feature away in Geforce GRID products only - uncommon rackable hardware for the kind of companies that can get a Windows volume license anyway.
It's likely more cost efficient to have two computers, one for Windows and one for browsing and work, although I call that a waste of silicon and other materials. One option would be to use a KVM switch and an old, outdated PC with Windows 98 or XP or 7 32bit etc. (or dual/multi boot these), non networked to the internet. Then you can run old games at least.
What about the horrible security problems this will likely entail?
Like, you're having fun in your thought-controlled robotic bipedal tank, and as your interface is botnetted, someone else decides to have fun and make you crash into a store front. Or :
- You get sent Goatse, tubgirl or (famous short brazilian movie) and still see it if you close or cover your eyes, and even if you try to run away from it. - They get you to pee your pants - They mess with your vestibular sense inputs (the human version of motion sensors) and torture you, make you feel you're falling and spinning in all directions, or try to do the minimum to make you puke and vomit all over yourself. - They live tweet first-person pics of you jacking off - As is described in the README.TXT file of old id software games (technological zombie soldiers get a strong release of pleasure hormones when they kill) they teach you new "tricks" as if you're a Pavlovian dog. Hopefully this is used for further trolling.
Nothing. But that's like someone trying to do something on Windows 10 that can't be done unless one runs an Enterprise or Server edition, and he/she is replied : "but the telnet and ping it uses come from BSD!"
Or because this needed be godwin'ed : "What are you complaining about with the Holocaust? The crematorium ovens were neat and efficient. This spared a number of sanitary issues."
Funny thing about Ubuntu/Mint switching from upstart to systemd : I found that I can now stop NetworkManager from the command line without jumping through hoops or uninstalling it. That has been the only user-visible change due to systemd that I noticed.
The average Android phone provides much less freedom to the user than desktop Windows, even Windows 10.
There is even sort of a class warfare angle to Android phones : perhaps you buy a $800 bleeding edge phone every couple year and get the freedom to run a patched system, unlock this, unlock that, install a firewall, etc. An average Android phone allows none of those things. It runs an abandonware version of Android 5.0.1 or 5.1, it might be carrier-branded (and GSM-unlocked) or called something like "Glurbz JY8" or even be a lower end model from a semi-recognizable or recognizable brand, and a web search about doing stuff with it will turn empty.
This was my first thought. I've seen it, in a non-profit environment : using some decade old HP laser printer, with seemingly perfect reliability (compared to your typical inkjet that you need to re-buy every year if you use it seasonally), enough life left in the toner to not care about it.
Yet, the obvious "good idea" there was to print on old worthless already printed paper, just print to the other side. It's not so much the paper jams that are a problem, but all the dust, dirt and ash particles found on the old papers (those that have started lying around are even worse than those filed away for years). This gets into the printing rollers or whatever you call them and so your printer develops printing streaks, making stuff hard to read (at worse missing important things) or too unprofessional. And then, you're stuck needing maintenance on a laser printer even though everything was okay (parallel cable, CUPS and networking, toner, printer, paper supply). Time was bought by putting a different old printer in place.
What would be needed on a regular laser printer is a warning : "Please only feed NEW printer to the paper. It's more environmentally friendly"
---------
With that "UV paper", hopefully the printer is simplified enough and made trivially easy to clean with no special equipment. The "paper" itself needs to be easy to clean. If you don't even need contact between the "paper" and printer parts (save for feeding the "paper" in and getting it out) it might be easy enough to use even folded "UV paper" (e.g., some machines have a slot where you can put banknotes in, they work with banknotes that were folded carelessly)
Never ; I remember a comment about a dual head hard drive being tried and that makes it an unreliable, expensive mechanical monster. Cheaper to use two hard drives, short-stroked if you will.
Don't worry, I'm just hungry a bit, I hear you eating and smell you eating and you're not offering me a bite, so I'm going to growl, claw you to death and steal your food, step away and eat it. Then I'll pee on every tree around and find a sex partner or something remotely like it.
It does have some Gnome or Poettering-ware tools, such as Network-Manager. So it's not the lightest LXDE desktop around. It has Chromium as the default browser, too. On the other hand, having Network-Manager instead of wicd makes it compatible with 3G/4G modems.
There is a full taskbar, a start button, desktop icons even, and I'm seeing apps with a menu bar. So I'm thinking people will mistake it for a full version of Windows again. Unless this is just an internal version or something. I mean, regedit?, explorer.exe?, aren't those Win32 applications? Now I'm learning that a large subset of Win32 is included in the UWP platform. Well done. So, is Metro dead or something? If that's just a power grab and a way to get devs to write Win32 applications that don't run on Windows 7 and 8, and we get to be smothered by gigabytes of updates anyway, that doesn't feel that interesting anymore.
Now, is there any chance we can get a forward compatible linux desktop one day? Past 2020 or 2023, I wonder how we'll be supposed to run commercial, freeware, proprietary etc. software. Should I install Windows 7 while I still can? Had I migrated to XP 64 instead of Ubuntu 10.04 years back, I would have had about four years of ability to play games and run properly working software and drivers.
It will be a good idea to look for a laptop will many storage slots e.g. at least two M.2 slots, at least one of which accepts both M.2 PCIe and M.2 SATA ; either a 2.5" or one more M.2 ; heck UFS memory cards might be big as well a couple years from now (perhaps M.2 to UFS adapters will be a thing)
Eh, you bought a 4K monitor? Joke's on you. Sorry, but I think it's expected to be crappy, unless you're a dictatorship that obsoletes all hardware/software every few years (Apple) or have only legacy-free DPI independant GUIs and software (Android, web)
Well, something to blame MS for, and which might be the source of some scaling crappiness.. They still don't allow fonts anti-aliasing without RGB Cleartype? I just hate that. Especially when I just want to use Windows 7 or something on a CRT monitor, which doesn't even have subpixels (yea I don't care, I'm free to use one, 19" size is good in particular). The choice is garbage aliased fonts from 1996 or garbage technicolor fonts. And if going HiDPI, you ought to be able to get rid of that subpixel technicolor garbage anyway. Is that still the case on Windows 10.1 or Windows 10.2? (whatever the pseudo hidden version is)
Do they still render a low DPI application with Cleartype, then scale it up 200% displaying artifacted garbage fonts, then call it a day?
What everyone really wants : bring out a "Windows 11" that can run the Windows XP GUI, down to Luna themes support, give us the Quicklaunch back, don't require an i7 and SSD just to run the desktop and updates. (Biggest task there is to junk that Windows Update system to replace it with one that instantly finds the updates) If we want to launch the UWP runtime and grid of squares? Let us run it when we want from the quicklaunch, desktop or start menu. Bring back the old file manager, just add tabs in it!
Keep the linux subsystem and resizable console. But we can't have good things.

Perhaps it's good if you can run the latest version i.e. 0.11, otherwise the GTK2 version of LXDE will run fine and still is actively developed.
