I’ve been charging my phones exclusively wirelessly (not counting plugging in cars or emergencies) for about 15 years. From Lumia, to OnePlus to Pixel now. Zero issues.

Even iphones finally invented wireless charging a few years ago and it works very well.

I realize it’s not as efficient, but I charge overnight and we’re probably talking about $10/year in losses.

Could you name a few successful boycotts? I did a quick search and recent examples don’t seem that successful to me. Amazon is still doing amazingly well and Nestlé is still killing people.

A lot of legacy stuff that’s really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain’t broken (and protected from the internet), don’t fix it.

Wingspan is great.

When was that ever a concern for the elite in power?

Even India assassinated Nijjar without any repercussions in Canada. America sure as fuck can get Musk to hang himself Epstein style.

Sort of a win since you didn’t even reply to the right comment :-)

I hate to shit on your general point, but they absolutely do ask in this case.

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

Red light cameras are fine as long as they work properly, but fuck the speed cams. Glad they are still illegal here.

Also zypper is a fantastic package manager.

Super relevant argument that ccp allows some companies to grow before they take over. And yes, obviously nobody would do business in China if they didn’t share the profits. Hopefully nobody will ever do business again with a shithole like russia.

Except Nvidia is the third largest company in the world with a ton of existing IP that they would effectively be handing over to a country that has a history of stealing IP without any repercussions and had the resources to take advantage of that IP and make Nvidia irrelevant.

Right, for profit companies famously have a history of just handing themselves over to totalitarian regimes.

China has no successful companies that aren’t approved, controlled and often subsidized by the party.

Bigger problem than tmsc is that China will just “legitimately” steal all IP and replace them with another company within a year. Moving to China is insane if you don’t plan to bend over for the party.

They’re probably not on staff and hiring them externally just got much more expensive and complicated.

There’s plenty of believers. None of them are acting in a meaningful way.

They are not capable of a coup imnho.

Edit: Oh, you meant democrats are never going to get power after recent republical coup - seems likely.

Nothing will happen. Democrats are completely spineless and will bend over like they have in the past.
