Fairphone gen6+ (vs gen6) got an increase in ram from 8 to 12 and from Snapdragon 7s gen3 to gen4. MSRP only went from 599 to 649.

I think the main point is that this post is not a good faith attempt to convince people otherwise. It's a shoddly researched opinion piece that has little to no merit as it ignores the complexities of producing either item.

OPEC's goal is as much profit as possible. They're not thinking in the short term but long term. If as much possible means over the span of multiple centuries then that's what they're going for. I think we're in agr

12 GB RAM instead of 8 and Snapdragon 7s Gen4 vs Gen3. For an MSRP increase from 599€ to 649€ that seems like a decent deal to me.

Would they? Cartels aren't known for massively increasing production to satisfy all demand. Far from it I'd say, they're more likely to expand supply to such a level that they can still reap massive profits. Very few countrie

Exactly this. I'm not entirely certain AI has anything to do with it but my last book purchases have been entirely used. Our local independent book shop got together with a couple other dozen and started a used book platform. If I have

The main complaint and law that HateAid, the organization that lodged the complaint, is using, is that recording devices have to be visible as such. Glasses are not a known and widely accepted video/photo device and therefore affected

Not all meat is steak. Reducing and/or exchanging beef for other meat sources can at scale already make a massive difference. Chicken, for example, produces 10% of CO2 per kg of meat compared to beef.

I'm unaware of any large scale studies on this topic. Both are pretty bad health-wise and should be avoided in regular large doses by anyone regardless. I pointed it out because its often used instead of sugar for cost reasons.

Potentially as a side effect. A lot of ingredients are switched to cheaper, often more processed substitutes. For example, vegtable oil instead of olive oil, fructose corn syrup instead of honey or sugar. Beyond that chainging composition t

The problem isn't inherently USB, it's companies producing cables without properly defining specs. If you want to be certain a USB cable works, buy it from a brand that sells certified (USB-IF) cables with a particular spec you wa

Depends on country I suppose. The main complaint from me is the difference in price and subscription requirement to even be able to use some of them though. Subscriptions from major charging providers can easily run 15 Euros a month and for

Charging stations just need to function like regular gas stations. Prices need to be made available online and prominently displayed at the entrance of the station. They shouldn't allow cheaper prices for subscriptions or even blocking

Plus neither is house ownership. I'd say there is a decent correlation between apartment living vs house and the access to public transport. At least in Europe.

The gpus will be too expensive and a lot of them are not even close to useable for gaming. Any consumer gpus maybe but I suspect that nvidia will be able to pivot more quickly producing consumer gpus again.

Totally agree. For a lot of tradefolks maps seem to be the actually more important location. Still Google obviously but it's less slopified in comparison to search. For now at least.

Wouldn't this ultimately make money FOR Google and only cost money to the company that placed the ad? Sure, Google's paying but they get their money regardless.

Probably both. If I understand it correctly giving informed consent for over 1700 tracking partners of a single page isn't realistic. You as a single person cannot be expected to truly understand what it is you are agreeing to when you

I'm with you there. My fridge has a wifi connection with an app. The only function it can do is notify me if the door is open. Thats it. Absolute waste of resources. I openend the enclosure and removed the antenna of course.

Depends on power output. Has been legal in Germany for some years but inverters have to be limited to 800W output so it doesn't overload the circut. Additionally, you're limited to 4 panels max 2000w peak total. A lot of companies

It does achieve high accuracy but I think given the context when one wants to know this information, plagarism for research papers and college/highschool essays and work, it's unfortunately not good enough. My neighbour is a teach
