You know how I block site that I do not like? By complaining. Oh wait, no. By not going there. Yet I understand that there are people behind you with a gun to your head that force you to go there.
Unfortunately I will not be able to call the police and talk about a hostage situation. That went horrible the last time people did that.
The "degredation of value" has nothing to do with it. Value is determined between the seller and buyer. The fact that this is new, unwrapped, old , used or whatever might influence the seller and/or buyer, but that is irrelevant. And no matter what the company says, it is not theirs anymore, so they have no say over it. I post this after the update.
This is part of the solution. However with the fires as they where in Sweden, this is not so much the case. Fires on that scale are not part of the natural process. They happened because of drought and heat. Those are caused by humans (Yeah, I went there) so intervention by humans is needed to prevent worse.
Natural fires in the US happened, but not that often and not that many and not that big. Not letting the under grow burn is only part of it.
The fact that they used Linux render farms for a while now was not knowledge to you, I assume. Here an article from 2007 : https://news.softpedia.com/new... And they talk about movies that came out in 1998 (Antz) that used Linux to render.
Sure. And they canb also compile their own OS and build their own car and grow their own food.
Just because it is possible in theory, it does not mean it is realistic.
Discusing "what is possible" is a nice thing to do as a thought project with a few beers in a pub. Discussing "what is" is a nice tjing if you want toii actually get things done.
The reality is that for most people "The Internet" is "FB, Alphabet and a few select apps on their phone." Even if this is 1.000 companies, it is not much varieaty when you look at the world population. And many of these are the same under a different name. e.g. GP said YouTube and Google. That is the same.
WWI was still during the industrial revolution. Prices had not yet dropped that far and trading was still expensive. WWII was basically caused by the problems of cost of living for Germany with the extremely strict rules brought to them by losing WWI, making it very difficulkt to do any trading at all.
That is just another data point. A nd an easy one at that. When I did hireing, we where not just lookimg at skills, but also iif the person would fit.
One case was where we did not hire the person for the job as he would not like the loud people he wpuld be working with. He was hires into a job in a very wuiet team.
Just looking at. Umbers snd skills is not enough. Having hired people with great skills that do not fit in a team will make that team perform less.
This could also be if you are a team of individuals who lock themselves up in their cubicle. A very social person that likes to talk all the time with everybody will not only feel misserable the whole time. He will make the rest feel missetable all the time as well.
This is how credit works in Belgium. If you open a loan or a credit. It will be mentioned in the National bank. Only credit companiet and banks have access to it. Only the numbers, not company names. If you did not pay on any of them for three months, no more new credits. Before you give credit, you willchech if you are allowed. Look at the maximum cost compared to income. Give people credit and you should not have? No legal way to ask for it back if they stop paying.
I used to do that as well. Now I just have a magnetic cable and have the connector on the device, be it a phone, a camera, a speaker, a tablet, Raspberry, headset,... Some random sample It would be great if THAT became the standard. Cabnle at my desk at home, one at work, one at my bedside, one in my travelbag, one in my car. And that cable can be used for both USB and lightening port.
Why did it take so long to convince you? In any SF story that has a 'particle multiplier' in a story, not many will have you pay for that service. It will be mostly implied that it is done for free. Be it food, goods or people transport.
The idea of paying for coppied food is weird in almost all stories.
You talk about sub 300usd phones as ifthey are cheap. Few years ago that was expensive. Very expensive. The thing the 1000usd phone does is making 300usd look like a bargain. It isn'r.

John Oliver was right. Nobody cares, untill they want to see our junk.
Concerning the IP that China has, that is better than the "till eternity + 70 years" on copyright that the rest of the world has.

As somebody who uses metric, I still have no idea how big it is.
Kill it with fire. Drop some napalm on it.

Anmd yes, it is an issue.

If they make the babiies to be the perfect taxi driver, will they be called an Ubermensch?

That would be laws for the people, by the people and thus socialist/communist. That would be unchristian to do. So not happening.
(Yeah, this logic has more holes than a Swiss cheese, but Switserland is not in the EU, so no probnlems there.)

With all the opt-in going on, this means that they do.

Same planet. Average phone was around 100 EUR. A lot where cheaper.
People vote the way they vote, because it is an emotional process, not a rational one.
What we need is BeOS phones.

Letâ(TM)s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the non-profit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).
So if you need an SSL certificate for cheap, you can go to them. https://letsencrypt.org/
Why not European banks? Oh, that is right, because they have socialist laws for the people by the people that prevent it.
Poor European companies.
Good battery life, compared to the rest. Many people walk around with an extra battery, so why not have one already build in?
People are on their pho e all the time, jyet often friends have dead batteries. I use mine less, yet still would like a larger battery.
