- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 2 days ago:
How does concentrating the sunlight like this not start a fire? Or wouldn’t this at least cause panel electronics to overheat?
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 4 days ago:

- Comment on Apple’s plan: Stall, cheat, repeat 1 week ago:
How many real life users are going to install software from somewhere other than the built in app store on their phone?
- Comment on Apple’s plan: Stall, cheat, repeat 1 week ago:
Governments are going about this the wrong way. The problem isn’t with app stores. The problem is that you can’t install a different OS on your phone (or current Mac, or iPad).

Why would I want that? I don’t even want it on my Mac.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Edge browser now loads sites even faster 1 week ago:
It’s sad and pathetic that Microsoft gave up on their own rendering engine. It is just a chrome clone with a bunch of privacy invading marketing crap stuff into it.
- Comment on Date set for millions of phones across UK to receive emergency alert test 1 week ago:
Here’s hoping the UK does a better job with this than the US.
- Our emergency alerts go off far too often about things that aren’t emergencies.
- And when there is an emergency (like the floods in Texas this week) they don’t bother sending out an alert.
- And if they do bother, people don’t receive an alert because they’ve disabled them due to point 1.

- Comment on Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather. 2 weeks ago:
Cold water is easy to heat if you know how to make fire. Most early humans probably knew how to make fire. Hot water, however, is difficult to cool without refrigeration.
Spring and well water is often cool. I don’t know about the water that comes down from the mountains. Does it retain it’s coolness when the snow melts and runs down into the valley?

- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 3 weeks ago:
E/os is just android.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki//e/_(operating_system)
I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.
It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 3 weeks ago:
Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

If you’re going to burn something for energy, burn garbage like non-recyclable plastic waste.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money. For another, many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping. Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.
I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $6 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.
