Everyone wants they’re piece of the pie. I just want AI to evolve to the point we can use it to create real innovation. But we’ll never get there with all these greedy removed.

Exciting times for hackers !

It depends on the amount of extra batteries that are made. In 2022, 225 million iPhones were sold. If an extra battery for every phone was produced, but only half of those consumers ever buy a new battery then we are looking at over 100 million wasted batteries. Then eventually all of those 225 million consumers would get a new phone anyways, so it still becomes waste at some point. I’m sure they will get better at predicting how many extra batteries to make eventually though. I do wonder how much it’s needed these days though. I get a new device every ~ 18 months but my spouse uses devices for ~ 5 years before getting a new one. She usually gets a new one just because of newer features, battery degradation doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue anymore.

It’s looking like Linus should have taken that $100 million offer he got and left when he had the chance.

While I am for this, this could create more E waste. Now there will be companies producing more batteries as consumers can now swap out batteries. So it’s possible that tons of batteries now just sit on shelves for years and eventually end up going to waste.

Now you can get a summary of the best fake reviews!

That thing does indeed keep the car cooler.

Roids only make your balls smaller.

Does anyone actually use either of those though? It’s always been more easy and convenient for me to just use my own phone.

These laws are fine until something better than c comes out. Then we have to wait for laws to be updated to make changes. We all know how slow government moves.

Do you have a source for that statement?

No, it’s mastodon but centralized. It takes all the difficulty out of signing up for the fediverse, like finding a server. I said it from day 1 on mastodon. We will never see mass adoption until there’s a simple sign up process. People like centralized because it’s easier.

This looks terribly boring.

Saw that. Glad lemmy is taking off.
