Yes, you’re not a corporation, you’re an individual person. The difference is scale.

I totally am lol.

If they do feed the grid, they’ll probably get some credit back which ultimately lines their pockets instead of funding public infrastructure.

Producing clean water is a multi-faceted problem, your locale may require a different or multiple different solutions.

Multiple solutions are often nice cause you don’t have to rely on a single solution if one goes down or has issues.

What? No, my friend you misunderstand. Mass-production makes stuff affordable and scalable. Capitalism makes it so wealth is horded and only the rich get to decide what gets made. You vote with your dollar while a billionaire votes with theirs, guess who wins.

Mass-production is not a capitalism-exclusive unlock, it’s a dlc that can be redeemed in any economic system.

That… makes a lot of sense, I hadn’t considered that.

That totally makes sense that they would need pure sand, idfk how to make that work. But if Intel needs rounded sand grains, then they need to find another way to erode sand into that shape cause ocean sand is quite unique from the billions of years it’s had to tumble in the ocean. Otherwise Intel will indeed be using ocean sand.

Also it occurred to me that making chips on glass could be more recyclable since glass is also recyclable. 🤔 Would be good if that happens!

Sand is a non-renewable resource

Not all beaches are public, and not all are in America where there are laws that protect beaches.

I just hope this doesn’t mean Big Tech is incentivized to buy up lots of beach sand from poor cities already dealing with hurricanes.

Beach sand, if you didn’t know, is an important barrier between the land and oceans and greatly affects the size of waves that come crashing into the coast. Big rocks and other substrates just don’t calm waves like ocean-eroded sand can.

Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.

I mean… I’d still prefer no hole punch at all.

Edit: Not that I actually care what apple does directly, but it does ripple through the industry of copycats

It’s a fair question, and also this conversation leaves out the necessity of public transportation which would be a much better way to reduce pollution (which EV fans will often say is why you need an EV).

Ooooh I really hope they scam them out of their money. This would be a perfect opportunity to hook the NYPD on crypto too. /s

This can only end in more institutionalized racism and other forms of oppression by the NYPD.

No, i had watch a video showing it to figure out that it’s just the fancy way they make their UI of iOS use the camera cutout intentionally. It does dynamic stuff and makes it feel less like a static island. They’re really scraping the barrel with that one.

And not all Jewish people support Israel! I have to assume many understand what’s going on and side with Palestine.
