100 percent true. Any item created by a company should be collected back by that company for full disassemblely and recycled fully.

This should be true for any thing, such as tvs, microwaves, fridges, couches, beds, plastic bottles, fast food packagings. Companies should accept the item back at pickup points easily accessible, and take back any item no matter how old. Think of beer bottle collections at your local beer store.

We as tax payers should really stop allowing corporations to use public funded landfills and garbage collection for “free”. These costs should really be part of the products created internalised by corporations.

Today’s weather, ads. With a high of ads. Ads coming in from the east.

Most phones has gone this way as a marketing ploy for waterproofing or water resistance. When was the last time you dropped you’re phone I’m the toilet or urinal?

I do have a feeling its more of a cash grab in having to purchase a new phone once your battery kicks the bucket.

“When cities are designed with mostly drivers in mind, they tend to be built for commuters and not residents, making them less attractive to live in or even visit outside of work.”

Cities need to be designed for the people and families that live there. Not people driving in from the suburbs.

Also, I wonder if NewYork will ever consider doing what Amsterdam did (in the 1970~1980) to combat its traffic issues (caused by car), and only allow pedestrian/cycaling traffic.

I just realised iTunes (store) is no longer a thing. Everything’s just streaming now.

Time to bust out the walkman

But I don’t want to buy all new hardware! Thought MS was sustainable. Instead MS is BS.

Some of us are 30-45 and not 6-16

Cars linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths.

I’m allergic to fruits, penguins are not real, demons scare me, I’m not into sexual things, and its too warm where I am to wear mascots. Windows I have no issues with.

For a moment when you look at the chest it seems like there’s a six pack.

Can we opt out of windows?

I give it a 4 out of 7

Didn’t I pay for the OS?

Best feature so far

Ohh dear

Could you imagine having to fill up on gas driving to a specific gas station designed for your make/brand of car.

Hey honey, going out to fill up the car at the local Subaru Gas Station.

Instructions unclear, purchased Lemmy stock using Amazon gift cards

Interesting, that somewhat sounds like the pain I had with the og google assistant where I asked it to turn something on and it would just proceed to either turn it off or tell me something different entirely. Though that only started happening to me more over the end of last year where I guess google was just trying to kill it.

For Gemini I installed the standalone app that’s independent of the Google assistant branded app (Gemini was/is still not available inside the assistant app here).

I have been having more success with it where I can ask it longer commands, such as “turn off kitchen lights with hallway lights, and turn on living room lights with the living room shield”.

This kind of command would pretty much end with a “I do not understand” on og google assistant even with a turn of two lights command.

Home control is pretty much the only thing I use Gemini/Google Assistant for. I have been slowly trying to make the switch to a fully local voice with Home Assistant.

Odd I seem to be able to control all my IOT devices no problem so far from Gemini with voice commands over the phone. This includes all smart switches, lights, thermostats, and so on in my house

It seems to function a little quicker in response with the voice commands IMO.
