Mining copper is environmentally devastating
In 1920, mining 1 ton of copper caused 30 ton of toxic waste
In 2020, mining 1 ton of copper caused 180 ton of toxic waste
Since 1900, the energy required to produce a unit of copper is up 16 fold.
The water required has doubled.
We need to mine as much copper in the next 18 years than in all of previous history.
In 2020, a data center might have used 5,000 tons of copper.
An AI data center can require up to 50,000 tons of copper

On the latest iOS beta, if you happen to be driving before having opened the Music app at least onceâŠ
âŠyou can't listen to music in your car.
Instead, you get this alert that you need to go review the privacy info on your iPhone first.
The only option is Dismiss, which⊠quits the Music app in CarPlay.
@caseyliss been hearing your car shopping segments over the years & I understand the feeling you have on getting something new. If I was in your position Iâd still keep the Golf - as good as electric cars are youâll miss it (eventually⊠may take couple years) and youâll regret it. Honestly the R in manual in hot hatch⊠Iâd listen to John & run it to the ground.
My suggestion to hit electric itch is Mini - bmw motor but itâll be small negotiate being 3 car household & super fun

This is also absolutely true for software localization.
Translation tools are useful when Iâm in charge of how I use them, and when I have contextual hints to help me interpret them.
But when a piece of software is localized exclusively using machine translations, not only are the resulting translations of poor quality (yes, even when done with LLMs â Iâd even argue that theyâve gotten worse with LLMs), but also, as a user, I end up at a loss as to how to deal with them, except by switching the app back to English (if the option exists).
Suffice it to say that youâve massively failed at your localization mission if the result is so bad that youâve made me fall back to a language that I don't natively speak.
@film_girl @paul on that analogy at least the camera still exists though? I donât think there is a âworserâ Touch ID sensor (like iPhone had over one generation - forget which one).
Basing it on your analogy it would be like 17e only having the front facing camera on 512gb version. And then have their press regurgitators keep repeating - âitâs $xxxâ âthey had to meet a price pointâ etc
@film_girl @paul đŻ in agreement with you. I Q why base doesnât have Touch ID as standard.
like if this is really a cost saving measure then why is the base iPad not even cheaper with a non Touch ID version?
Iâd want to really know why Apple decided not to include Touch ID on the base. This is also the first time biometric hardware is a paid upgrade (albeit wrapped in a combo). I get chrome books are optional with this too but in Appleâs world, it (was) standard
