Their government has been trying to keep the issue of aid in the public interest for a reason. Sometimes they might go too far, but I think people underestimate the fear a country would experience if they were highly dependent on outside help. Especially if it wasn't guaranteed to continue due to changes in the political leadership in the other countries.

As always the headline is somewhat misleading.
That's a job for the parents though isn't it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.
Obviously that has to be reflected in the price of the product. Presumably even more so with storage.
Also there might be a use case, where cost is paramount and the drive would experience very limited writes.
I've got a personal anecdote that's not entirely the same, but I've bought a bunch of flash chips from china to use with retro games. Those are often salvaged, but they are also cheap and available to buy. It doesn't matter if the chips can't take too many write cycles, if you only flash them a couple of times.
When I did play foss games, I played battle for wesnoth, teeworlds, minetest, super tux csrt and openarena. Lsst one might be dead due to being a mainly multiplayer game.
This is what 3d printing really shines in. Churning out prototypes for minimum cost.
If you're already familiar with blender, you would only need to learn how to use a slicer, which is not that hard in comparison. Just import the model and fiddle around with print settings if needed.
I came into 3d printing as a complete noob, and most of my time has been spent learning to do modeling in blender/cad. Slicing and printing itself is simple in comparison. Resin might be more involved.
I should have probably specified which graph I was referrign to. The top of the page has a graph of billionare emissions, which are mostly from private planes and yachts. Those probably don't make a significant share of global emissions due to there being few billionares. That does however account for most of their emissions, which are already much larger than average.
Global top 10 income is over $100k per year. Outside the US that's not too common.
I agree. That just something that stood out to me about the graphs. The majority of the emissions of the very richest people seem to be from luxury type of travel.
Even swapping private planes to passenger ones could save a boatload in carbon emissions. If giving up flying entirely is too much, then at least the regular option would be a lot better.
How much yachting can you possibly be doing as an individual to make that size of a carbon footprint?
Those are some big boats. Mr Abramovich's boat is >160m long. Think of driving around in an apartment complex.
Am I reading the graphs right if I see the main problem being private yachts and flying? Ofc cars are also included in the transport emissions, but unless they make up the majority of the emissions, the effect of cutting out some of the flights would reduce emissions by a lot.
Seems like a reasonably easy problem to fix, if one was to implement some type of "carbon tax" that targeted at private boats and planes.
Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.
