Battery degradation isn't as much of a concern in these cases. Batteries that are designed for grid backup use a more resilient chemistry which makes them heavier, but also last longer.
Consumer whole home backup batteries advertise the batteries having over 90% capacity after 10 years.
In a grid storage application, 90% of the original capacity is still fine, and as other commenters have pointed out, the batteries are recyclable.
Lithium based batteries are also extremely recyclable.
I work on an ARM Mac, it's fine. If you're just doing light work on it, it works great! Like any other similarly priced laptop would.
Under load, or doing work outside what it is tuned for, it doesn't perform spectacularly.
It's a fine laptop, the battery life is usually great. But as soon as you need to use the x86 translation layer, performance tanks, battery drains, it's not a great time.
Things are getting better, and for a light user, It works great, but I'm much more excited about modern x86 laptop processors for the time being.
As you should, but that's attempting to solve a different environmentally devistating issue.
I've been using fizz for 4 or so years.
They use Videotrons network. You're covered well in the Ottawa area. Elsewhere in Canada you roam on the other carriers, but you're able to use your plan as you always would. You only get charged more if you roam more than you're at home for 3 months in a row.
Overall I'm very happy with the service. Data rollover is such an amazing thing.
What would you do differently from what was talked about in the article?
What drives me crazy is that the population growth we're seeing now isn't even all that crazy.
It's a bit higher right now, but it's not a significant outlier when plotted on a graph going back 50 years.
Yes over the last 20 years immigration has been consuming a larger portion of that fairly consistent pie, but assuming we didn't stop having kids 20 years ago we would be in a similar spot as we are today.
The real problem is that we stopped building housing. The rate of houses being built slowed down a few decades ago, and that was always going to be cause us problems, regardless of if we had stopped immigration, but had we done that, our population stagnating would have caused us other problems.
I tried to find a source for your comment and couldn't find anything based off the limited details you gave.
Do you have a proper source? Or are you by chance just making things up like so many on this platform?
End of the pandemic. Which in this case means we have an effective vaccine, and as long as people get the damn thing COVID seems to stop killing people at such a high rate.
It's sooooo frustrating that we're in the tail end of a global pandemic and people still don't understand how community immunity works.
Keep in mind that buying photos isn't the only application of NFTs. People stopped buying valueless photos, but other implementations of NFTs kept on being used.
