to get wifi working properly in the first place i had to find a missing binary that wasn't packaged in any normal way and was only hosted on some dudes github so my expectations were low already. it got a lot better over the years tbh

lmde on a seven year old laptop five years ago, i was already accustomed to wifi on linux being dogshit. energy management was even worse and for some time hibernation was not a thing

Can’t you just disable sleep on close?

i could, but closing the lid turned off radios (wifi + bt) at some low level in a way that i haven't figured out

ah yes that must be that famed democratization that cryptobros yammered about

i think that perun took sponsorship from 80000 hours years ago, once, and eas or anyone in their milleu never reappeared

starting a cult is just good business

pigments are the least problem, and many are not dependent on oil, like titania. some might, like soot, but because we're talking about japan, it's likely they get it from chinese manufacturer, and chinese chemical industry relies on coal heavily. but it's such a small part of it all, binder, solvent and the entire packaging are likely petroleum-derived or dependent so there's close to zero savings here. not to mention fuel and fertilizer use in farming that led to that product

it's such unbelievably petty corner cutting, the only value of it is in marketing

you know what would help them? switch to solar process heat, best time for it was decade ago, second best time is now (they're using heavy fuel oil for heating something)

weirdly sbf-shaped failure mode, wonder how it helped that court case

cap, that's a marketing move. black ink still needs solvent and amount of it saved by using one pass instead of 3 is tiny, transport will take more

but can both of them lose?

4-5V is state of the art and pushing it there or beyond that gets very tricky very quickly. pure water has electrochemical window of 1.23V, but you can go a bit over that because at low overvoltage water splitting is slow at most electrode materials. that's why lead battery can have 2V per cell and will generate hydrogen when charged much over nominal voltage
