I’ve been wishing to use an old feature phone for that one’s advertised purpose. This one is more interesting than refurbishing a hopelessly outdated phone because it’s going to actually work.

In any work setting where it is common to have a work phone and a personal phone, this would make an ideal work phone

K-bye!

Liam on ticktock and YouTube would agree

And fiber

Yeah, gotta make the environmental factors financially important to them while they’re deciding what to do, which is unfortunately a very hard thing to do

An antique mechanical typewriter is the best thing I’ve found for writing. Useless for coding, so there’s the product above for that

Yes. They can pay to build their own sources of power of their own choosing. Or put more resources into doing data centers more efficiently, their choice.

Even the advertisers?

That’s a good point

They’re not synonyms, but they are close enough that when said quickly they can be homonyms

Repeating what many have said, those rules are written in blood.

Yes, more specialized robots for now. When it’s harder to build for a human to do the job, build for a robot to do the job.

At some point in the future, it makes sense to combine the features of different types of robots into one form that can step in to human jobs

Does this study assume a 9-5 schedule?

So it’s more of a milestone to catch early battery degradation rather than a cutoff point below which the battery is labeled useless?

What’s so bad about 80% of the original capacity? Wouldn’t there be a lot of use cases for a car with 80% of the range?

I’m glad to see any second use for these batteries before recycling. Gotta combat the narrative that “an EV battery is trash after 5 years!”

For home charging to keep up with a commute, a normal wall outlet all night long is fine. It just needs to be installed where the car is parked, and it should have some protection from weather while the car is plugged in.

And take it one step further so that whoever wants to check on it will see the ads playing even though no ads are playing.

It is ironic to run a manifesto against AI through an AI. Definitely not what the author intended

Gemini simplified it to this:

“Algorithmic Sabotage” is a new idea about tech rebellion and fighting bad technology. It’s not against tech itself, but about people pushing back together. It wants to break down profit-driven power in the online world, help us do what’s right, and stop computer rules from controlling too much. This is a political stand, not just a tech one, rooted in fairness for everyone, everyone being treated the same, and people helping each other. It goes against how tech makes things unfair and gives some too much control. It’s all about groups of people managing bad tech and building a different, collective way of thinking through art and action. For example, it could mean making artificial intelligence act unexpectedly or looking at how tech is used to create misleading appearances or exert influence.

I’ve been able to turn off notifications for anything on my phone. Only the few apps I choose to allow still give me notifications.

I am fortunate to have a job that does not require a cell phone, I can leave it behind for hours at a time without affecting my work. I know this is not the case for everyone, but it should be an option.

At the very least, a phone required for work should have a separate phone number and email account, and should turn off automatically after the employee clocks out for the day. Some countries already have laws about this stuff, we should do that more.
