- Comment on Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire risks 1 week ago:
Yes but for this recall it’s not traditional e-waste.
From their website below. The onus of safe disposal is entirely on the consumer:
How to Safely Dispose of Your Power Bank Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery for disposal. Before taking your battery to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

Yes, because mailing would be dangerous and they’d be forced to collect in an expensive way. Maybe they’d be more careful about generating faulty products then.

It’s nuts how companies get to pass on the disposal costs of a defective product to the consumer. “Contact your local municipal waste handler” as a million batteries get thrown in the landfill.

Good ol spud gun. Made one back in the day. My buddy went overboard and had one manufactured out of steel and used ether as a propellant. Was pretty wild compared to the pvc version.

I run my main pihole on a pi and the backup on a NUC mini pc. Le Potato is a cheap pi alternative.

I think the fact that most commenters seem to think kids should use cell phones in class confirms Lemmy is mostly children

Some are better than others in both power and nozzle angle/placement. Sometimes you have to shimmy to get the angle just right if the power is low. It should result in a wipe in which no fecal matter remains, only wetness, if executed properly.

- Comment on Online retailer eBay scraps fees for private sellers in UK 8 months ago:
Not certain but I believe listings are now free to post but when you sell something they charge a commission. It has been this way in the USA for a while, if you’re a small vendor you can list a couple hundred/thousand items for free and they charge fees when sold.
