Except it's a very good thing for 2FA USB keys which prevent people from gaining access unless they have physical access to the key. Also useful for USB gamepads etc

What are the environmental impacts of manufacturing of replacement heat pump units to replace functioning A/C units vs keeping them?

It's a mix of the CAFE laws and consumer habits based on decades of unsafe street design pushing consumers to larger vehicles which makes them feel safer and anyone outside them less safe, which makes them lean toward larger vehicles to match. Viscous cycle and arms race. Point being policy is part of it, but consumer behavior isn't blameless.

Sorry if this isn't allowed or is bad etiquette. Thought I'd point anyone coming here to a busier place [email protected] I have no affiliation (in fact I'm from Lemmy.ca)

I was looking hard for this video after after being reminded of a bygone era of this concept of Multimedia and hyperlinks/hypertext being the next big thing. I think this is wonderful optimistic look at a potential future for what the internet could have become as per the keen mind of Douglas Adams.

This video has some really neat clips of interviews, historical footage, and this fun ethereal vibe of having intelligent, agent driven predictive access to any piece of information you'd ever need.

I wonder what Douglas Adams would think of the current Internet and Tech-Scape.

 
 

Hey, fellow my new fellow /c/fuckcars Lemmy community! I finished watching the TV show "Baskets" around a year ago and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of soul-sucking depression when it came to its portrayal of car-centric suburbs. I wanted to reach out to you all and see if anyone else shared the same sentiments.

For those who haven't seen it, "Baskets" is a dark comedy-drama that follows the life of Chip Baskets, a failed professional clown. The show is primarily set in Bakersfield, California, a city enveloped in car-centric planning.

What adds an interesting layer to the show is the presence of the High-Speed rail project, which is portrayed as a backdrop throughout the series. This juxtaposition between the car-centric suburbs and the promise of a modern, efficient transportation system highlights the stark contrast between the old and new ways of living.

The constant presence of cars, dilapidated strip malls, and sprawling stroads in Bakersfield seems to symbolize a certain emptiness and lack of genuine human connection. The show really contrasts the American setting with vibrant and pedestrian friendly Paris (albeit stereotyped).

I'm curious to know if any of you had similar thoughts or interpretations while watching "Baskets." Did you also feel that the show used the suburbs and car-centric environments in a soul-sucking and depressing way? On the other hand did anyone get a vibe it was also making fun of Chip for not being able to drive?
