I was building a floppy drive Linux distro for file recovery. I had it mounted under /mnt and wanted to do 'rm -rf ./home' inside /mnt but did 'rm -rf /home'. I noticed quickly and hit Ctrl+C but still a lot of files were gone. Fortunately my file recovery distro was nearly finished so I've booted it and recovered all my files. I never had to use this distro again.

So now you're taking about 'several 5% factors each day' which is completely different than 5% per day. Of course that if you keep adding those 5% activities up and get to 20-30% more calories burned daily you will start noticing it. But single 5% activity? I highly doubt it. Metabolic adjustments is a real thing: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15044180/ You can excrete as much as 20% of the calories you consume. Burning 5% calories more can just mean you will shit less often or you will sleep better and use less calories during the night. I really think that the idea that 15 minutes of swiping daily will cause to eat more or lose weight is just silly.
Sure, it's also just my intuition but trying to lose weight myself and watching friends try to lose weight and 15 minutes of light activity per day does nothing to your energy balance. To actually use weight I have to cycle hours spending like 2000kcal couple times a week. The 100kcal is 5% of your average daily intake. If you're very active it will even less. Depending on your diet you can excrete more calories then that. Your body will just compensate by adjusting metabolism and you will not have to eat more not to lose weight. With electric bike it's definitely possible to get in the range when you will have to adjust your diet but I don't think it's the case with brooming. Average person will be able to swipe couple days a week without actually eating more, that's why I think it's 'free'. But maybe we have to do some experiments. Do you have a broom?
So Israel was monitoring everything happening in Gaza in the name of national security. There was no privacy there. How did it work out for them?
Out of curiosity, what do you use it for? What things do you save there?
I think you hugely overestimate the amount of energy used for brooming. It's not like it's a crossfit workout. I don't eat more on the days I clean. My diet with and without a broom will stay the same so brooming is basically free when it comes to energy. People don't use vacuums because they save money on food this way. They use them for their convenience. Vacuums let you save time, not energy. So yes, if you spend the time you save planting trees it's great but we're getting pretty far away from the broom vs. vacuum discussion and we're starting to talk about imaginary people and their imaginary lives.
I think that if we're talking about human slave responsible only for swiping the floors that I feed vegetables and keep alive solely for the purpose of operating the broom you can be right.
If we're taking about the amount of calories I use while swiping and compare it with a robot that someone had to manufacture, transport and than charge using electricity it will be a clear win for the broom. Maybe if the robot lasted 50 years and I controlled my diet to the point that I was able to eat 3% of a carrot daily less because I'm not swiping any more the robot could win but it's an absurd scenario.
It doesn't say 'forever'. It says 'for the rest of their lives' so it depends how much time they have left.
And it doesn't shit as much.
Plants I eat photosynthesize.
Cool but this is still just installation, right? The app will still have to be signed by apple? I will still have to pay Apple to build and sign the app? That's the difference between android and iOS. On android you pay to put the app on play store. On iOS you pay to sign the app even if you're developing locally. And yes, not all apps require signing but some do. You have to pay apple just to build the app and put it on your own phone.
