Imagine, if digital technology were a country, it would emit as much greenhouse gas as 5.5 times France or 2 times Canada. Does that shock you ? So are we ! 
User #devices in use 
(smartphones, tablets, computers, connected watches, televisions, etc.) account for more than half of the #environmental impact of digital technology 
.
This is the Sharp PC-2000, or “Ratecaputer,” from 1979. Only 200 were ever made.
The name is a portmanteau:
Ra for radio
Te for television
Ca for cassette
Puter for computer

@PeterCxy @lispi314 personally, I think such #AntiConsumer & #AntiRepairDesign should be outlawed, espechally with #medical #devices like a #wheelchair.
At this point I'm convinced manufacturers only do that because they know most wheelchair users are not capable of #DIY'ing something better or afford to hire someone to do it for them!
When buying your #network #connected #devices, make sure that vendors #support matches your #expectations. Devices might be #EoL 
even thought they are still being sold 
. #Maintenance is hard - our decade old Turris 1.0 still receives #updates (contrary to the industry standards) and it is not easy 
. Sometimes you can #reflash the device with your own #firmware to fix the #security issues, so prefer devices from vendor that pushes their #hardware support #upstream. https://vulncheck.com/blog/zyxel-telnet-vulns
Now that the protections are being scrapped right across the board in the U.S., don't forget to turn Auto-Updates OFF on your Apps, Devices, Phones, PCs, etc. So that you can manually read through and approve an app update to see what's been changed _BEFORE_ it installs the update to your devices.
Through the story of Ada & Zangemann, we see how crucial open-source values are in today’s world. Let’s not surrender our #freedom by allowing #devices to work only how creators decide. From #kids to grandparents, this tale shows why #opensource #hardware & #software matters.

Today I discovered a pretty cool utility for listing USB devices! 
**cyme**: A modern and cross-platform lsusb!
Displays manufacturer, serial number, speed, current information (mA) and more!

Help me out. I'm testing a theory.
For iPhone users ONLY: If the latest iPhone were the price of a midrange phone (think Samsung Galaxy A5x or the latest regular Pixel), would you still buy an iPhone?
The Google Pixel is now the 3rd bestselling smartphone in Japan.
"The company [now] holds 10.7% of the market, while in the same period in 2022, it was at only 1.5%. That’s a growth of 527%, which is stunning." Apple still leads the market in Japan with a 51.9% market share.

Will your #BrainMachine #interface get #bricked, #hacked, or be used to compel you to obey your "#employer" or #government?
Yes, to all, and worse. Bricked and hacked #bio #devices already exist, for example.
Though not near, this is the kind of bio-#tech melding I believe will ultimately be forced upon most, if not everyone (but the wealthy overlords).
There will be classes and types of hybrids, as in #BraveNewWorld.
The #machines will be us so yes, they will win.
Have you ever heard of a passkey? 
Wondering how it works if you have multiple logins and devices? 
Any ideas?!
