They'll claim that because someone is LGBTQ+, their birth certificate is fraudulent and that counts as enough evidence for denaturalization.
Mrs Brisbee is pleased.
Says chain male bear.
They can't even AI right!
That should've been a pelican on that bicycle.
Due to cost cutting, norovirus decided to only do the bare minimum.
Quiet quitter!
This article is a bit sensational: You have to look at PEDOT:PSS in the context of what it's replacing: Plastics that take hundreds to thousand of years to degrade. That also release much more harmful microplastics that also last hundreds of years.
Compared to that, "more than 8 years" seems pretty fucking good. Especially when you consider that PEDOT:PSS isn't produced at anywhere near the scale that regular circuit boards are (which are made from FR4). In short, PEDOT:PSS is not a serious problem.
Think about it: If stuff made from PEDOT:PSS sticks around for just 8 years, that's better than say, plastic shopping bags which persist for hundreds of years and we manufacture and throw away 5 trillion of those every year.
If everything plastic had the same environment impact as PEDOT:PSS we'd be in a much better situation (environmentally).
FYI: Speech recognition is an AI feature and it gets (marginally) better with the newer chips. For example, in noisy environments.
That's probably the most-used AI thing that nearly everyone uses on occasion. Older phones had to send your speech to the cloud but with the new chips all that processing can be handled locally.
You have to keep it for two more years! Because even Samsung can't get Samsung to sell Samsung DRAM for new phones!
There's innovation! What are you even talking about‽
I just upgraded my phone two months ago and now two of the four cameras (which is the same number as my old phone that I bought four years ago) have something like 20% more pixels!
Also—now that I have the latest chip—I can talk to my phone in like three more languages. I don't speak any of them, but... Innovation!
My new phone is also significantly heavier than the old one and the battery life is like 10% better than my old phone when it was new! Also, my display has a few extra lines of resolution on the top and bottom!
No innovation? Hah!
Time to move smartphones into the "durable goods" category.
Who says you get reincarnated right away? It could be a 1000 years between your death and rebirth!
That's how I set it up in my silly comedy Isekai, Maizy's Tails (it's free to read on the web if you care... Just search it, it'll be the first link): After death souls need to be "aged" at least 1000 years before they can be put in a new body. The gods think it's a multiversal rule but the MC figures out a workaround 😁
It actually opens with the gods bidding on souls from Earth... A world that ended about a million years prior to the auction (because that's how long it took to sort and categorize them all) 🤣
