1. Are you AI/bot?
2. Wall of text = incomprehensible, would not read/5.
3. It’s rarely about how good the devices are, but how much they cost + Apple’s two-faced moral model that makes people oppose/reject it.

time will tell

So we can agree that we’re discussing and juxtaposing against each other very vague things, that might as well turn out to be completely false?

Extinction event level but not really, (…)

Much like the predicted scenario of allegedly upcoming climate disaster, correct?

I never said Toba didn’t happen.

I never said you did.

We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

We’re not.

We’re on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood “extinction level” events in the past.

Multiple times.

You should read the entire article.

I’m glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were “extinction level” events in Mankind’s history.

And we survived it.

I mean, the history of the planet involves mass extinction events when 95% of species died off so… not really?

And yet, life is still abundant, diverse and thriving. Isn’t it?

This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

The lists misses more reasonable things:

• ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
• spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
• vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
• vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
• as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
• do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
• don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
• learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides

…and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.

Life finds the way…

I’m a bit drunk, what is my typical state to visit the Internet and the title merged into “sodomite” before my eyes.

Jesus Christ, isn’t the perception a delicate thing…

Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

Less variables to place on your mental whiteboard.

If only people would respond with respectful “I doubt that, but ok”.

These days, such a response is as scarce as an honest politician.

Too bad.

Was he fined 10 times the car was worth and forbidden from driving anything more complicated than a lawnmower for a decade?
