he article neglects that the PS3 supercomputer was popular because Sony sold them at a loss.

No hardware manufacturer does this any more.

Ironically, Blizzard giving more exposure to the situation in HG then the protester could ever would have had

Reminds me of UNIX curses

>On the other side of the equation, as pre-seed firms have become more established, they too have raised larger funds and have the capacity to write checks of more than just a couple hundred thousand dollars which they were structurally constrained to previously

The fact 4 pictures weight 10MB ;retty much tells a lot about the webmaster.

The main issue is that the new star ratings can only be applied to new appliances. Does the right to repair law also include a clause making it easier to repair? If my new dryer has a fried chip, how much will that chip cost me? Can the 3rd party repair service fix it for cheap? The other big issue we have other than planned obsolescence is that new electronics are chip driven and these are proprietary which means either you go to the original manufacturer and pay quite a bit for the part or throw the damn thing away.

I hope these right to repair laws are solid and also allow the manufacturing of third party parts. But what I would love to see is an upgrade system for older appliances. Like a program where you can buy newer more efficient parts for your appliances instead of buying a whole new one.

Some people scroll social media, some watch the Khardashians, Some play World of Warcraft, and some smoke cigarettes

Most of the people are addicted to something and it might not be the worst thing in the world if you somehow keep it balanced

Just because you spend a large amount of time on something that doesn't mean you're addicted to it. We shouldn't really throw that around willy-nilly. If your hobby isn't detrimental to your life, you're fine.
