A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Exactly! It bums me so much that the vast majority of the money you spent buying the device and of the money spent making the device is completely thrown out because you can't replace a little component that was perfectly replaceable 10 years ago.... 🙄

And not only money - resources and energy as well.

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, exactly.

But they stopped including chargers so it's basically carbon neutral now! /s

Well, the chargers were at least a step in the right direction (though probably with the focus more on consumer friendliness than environmental impact).
