No, we're going from "a different cable for every device" to "a different cable for every device but you need a label maker because they all look the same", and you're going to like it

You would think that in 40+ years of being completely ineffective against pirates and only hurting paying customers they would have learned that that time and money could be better spent elsewhere, but I guess that would imply that the rich are rich because they make good decisions, instead of just being born with good options

I'd be willing to bet that the cost of nuclear energy derived electricity is going up because most countries haven't been building new plants for the last like 50 years

Average age of a nuclear power plant in the USA: 42 years

Average age of a nuclear power plant in the EU: 31 years

Average original intended operational lifespan: 20-40 years

To put their age into perspective, the average US nuclear plant was built closer in time to the Trinity nuclear test in 1945 than to today (along with any other plant 39 years or older)

This doesn't prove that nuclear energy is bad, only that slowly degrading nuclear energy technology from decades ago is bad
