The looting of the National Museum of Iraq and other cultural sites in Baghdad in the wake of the American invasion of Iraq in March 2003 Documentaries without people: No End in Sight (2007, Charles Ferguson, dir.)
10 years ago it was a standard for phones to have a headphone jack and a set of wired earbuds included in the box. You payed for the phone only and had all the essentials you need. Now with most high end phones not only you pay for the phone itself, you also need to buy a set of wireless headphones. Aside from being more costly this "solution" also generates more e-waste, pollution due to higher demand for production and uses up lithium for battery production.
Combining this factor with arise of disposable e-cigarettes, electric cars, enshittification causing a decline of build quality and longevity of modern products with the fact that a lot of people still don't care for a proper recycling of used electronics we are going to deplete world's lithium deposits quicker than oil
If you're not pirating the microsoft software you're using it wrong
if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)
guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.
That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.
you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.
Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want
Beware!
