Designs which can be repaired can have specific parts taken out and recycled in isolation. If you can take the battery out easily you don't have all the materials from the rest of phone contaminating your recycling pipeline.

I'm sure it would be very useful. Doesn't mean I want ANYBODY having that kind of information.

...but the power draw is what sets the battery life for a particular size of battery. We don't particularly want to set up a game that just incentivises putting bigger batteries in, so we have a metric for power draw.

It should not remain in the NHS in my opinion. It should be deleted after the analysis is done.

I would expect Steam to report Steam OS as Steam OS.

They managed to differentiate Manjaro to it's own entry after all. It's Arch based too.

Mrs Merton: What was it that first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels billionaire Jeff Bezos?

I'm quite impressed Arch comes out on top

EU leaders will now have to decide whether there is sufficient support to take action.

All EU governments are facing immigration crises which are fueling the rise of nationalistic factions. They could take an action here which would stop a population being forcibly displaced. Can they not draw a line between the two?

Yes, you have the support at home.

For those asking "Why bother? The energy usage is tiny".

Mobile phones and tablets produced under these rules will save almost 14 terawatt hours in primary energy each year by 2030. This is one third of the primary energy consumption of these products today. The new rules will also help to optimise the use and recycling of critical raw materials.

In 2030, the savings on EU27 acquisition costs are € 20 billion, which combined with € 0.6 bn lower energy costs and € 0.8 bn additional repair costs, leads to € 19.8 billion (22%) expense savings (€ 98 per household).

So basically, by promoting energy efficient and repairable devices, the plan is to save €20bn annually in savings and not to generate 14TWh of electic power across the EU. That power saving is about the annual output of a single nuclear reactor. (1.6GW x 24h x 365.25d = 14TWh)

Blame the education system. They ingrained the concept of A being the best in all of us.

You don't care about battery life?

...the ruling stopped short of ordering the government to recover past messages that may already have been lost.

How would somebody be meant to comply with an order to recover a message that has been deleted? Or is that the point? Can't comply and you're in contempt of court.

...or have decent security on them that can't be broken by a 12yo.

Dictators can't look old and frail.

That's a communication laser, right?

Moisturize me!

I think it's a very heavy makeup line. His actual skin colour is what you see under his hair.

So at one point Macs were the developer laptop. They gave a nice desktop experience but with UNIX underneath that was very close to the Linux servers you'd deploy on to.

The direction of travel has been to bring the UI closer and closer to touch devices, often at the detriment to the developer experience (IMO). Snow Leopard / Lion was Mac OS at it's best. Once we left the cats behind it started going wrong.

Intel has become Arm - moving things further from those deployment servers. I've come to the realisation that I actually need x86 Linux adjacency more than anything else and nothing does that better than x86 Linux.

Don't want them out of the union. Just want them to want to be part of the union they're already in.
