@taoeffect @scotty86 Well, ASICs will get outlawed sooner than later cuz they are the digital equivalent of Freon aka. CFC-11 and Tetraethyllead together.
Whereas #GPU|s & #CPU|s and even most #FPGA|s can at least be repurposed!
@[email protected] #ASIC|s will get *outlawed first* simply because they are irredeemably harmful to the envoirment and trivial to identify. - In fact nations like *"P.R." #China* and basically *every #hosting provider I know explicitly bans #Mining #Cryptocurrencies and even #housing providers don't put up with #Bitcoin-Mining Rigs! #Monero at least is inherently #decentralized and able to thrive because of it. - As for *"#ProofOfStake"* instead of *"#ProofOfWork"*, that is just flatout a blatant #lie once one looks at the system requirements to get a #Validator up and running on #Ethereum or #Solana. The only reason that shit's still up and running is due to *"instiutional investors"* that are *"horny for money"* and categorically ignore the longterm harm bue to their short-term profits. Cuz #Banksters that can throw *Billions* around can *make fetch happen*… - To me this is shitshow is simple: *"Go Monero or stay fiat or go broke!"* Because unlike with #AntiPrivacy-Shitcoins, people can actually buy shit with Monero! - That's why it's more valuable than even the #PumpAndDump #Scamcoin(s) of the #Trump|s *despite the #EconomicWarfare* by #regulators against it! Monero will outlive all the #Scamcoins because it is an actual #currency, not a #Memecoin!
@midtsveen Yes, #Fairphone needs to up their game, but that still does make them one of the better vendors.
Now realize most #TechIlliterate #Normies never update their devices even if they get updates at all!
@sodiboo @tauon @puppygirlhornypost2 @silly I don't think it's much of a "#freedom" on #iOS but rather that the few devices and OS versions in circulation, alongside everyone from #jailbreaker to #malware (espechally #govware #developers) want to crack it open result in way more personnel and money behind it.
Granted @GrapheneOS does limit their support to devices that can comply with their #security standards.
I do wish for both vendors like #Fairphone to up their game and regulators like @EUCommission to actually push for more #transparency, #openness and #LongTermSupport of #Smartphones, because #ManufacturedEwaste like #SOYES, #WiKo, #Unihertz and others that ship #outdated #AndroidDevices and never even a single update are a major problem!
I do have to give #Apple credit where it is due, and that is that #iOS does have consistency and accessibility nailed down very well. Something that they obviously are able being the "#BenevolentDictator" of a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider - platform.
Maybe one day the folks at @frameworkcomputer acquire Fairphone and decide to bring the same modularity to #Smartphones and get something done that makes it easy to maintain long-term and that even #GrapheneOS are willing to support.
Would be cool if the people at @frameworkcomputer would take a look at this and consider making something nice.
@threetails I think #juicero didn't die from that alone.
It's exceessive #DRM and absurd pricing including artificially shortened livespan of the consumeables as well as the pulic roasting by #Bloomberg AND it's absurdly, extremely, expensive machining that'll make aerospace engineers orgasm amidst it's absurd tightness with like guide pins so precise they are basically airtight...
OFC like with #GameConsoles up the 7th generation it was desined as "Razor and Blades model" so that the fact that said juice packs are only sold as subscriptions and used DRM was intended to ROI within like a year or two, and with the high price tag of the machine and subscription they propably wanted to release a premium product since the average #WageWorker can't afford to spend $2k+ per year just on fruit juice alone!
But that doesn't mean one would get like #subscription revenue unless it was a defectively designed product like the Ice Cream Machines at McDonald's USA with #AntiRepairDesign and nonsensical #UI & #UX instead of simple output (like the Ice cream machines in the EU and espechally Germany spit out on their LCDs) saying what's wrong or what the status is....
#LateStageCapitalism and #Enshittification is what juicero embodies, because the core product could've been a success with less #greed and more reasonable price and without DRM bs, because the core idea would make it a very clean, simple and accessible way to make fresh juice as they did in fact just bag up fruit to seeze.
It's just that the Enshittification turned it into a sort-of #SeeFood repitch at best and noone told the Engineers that this machine has to be sold at a reasonable price and with reasonable profit out of the gate, so they violated every rule in the book to make this a good product.
This was an avoidable trash fire as they never sold the packs cheap in groceries nor the machine at an absurdly cheap price.
