  • Difference in scale. Very common in new electronics.

    If you produce <10k units per year, you are in the “fuck you” category of customers where most companies won’t even give you the time of day, much less data sheets under NDAs, design tools, or actual access to their chips at somewhat reasonable prices. Chips that are 5 years old are often fully open. This is especially egregious in the wearables space… (Not saying it is for this phone, per se)

    Also older chips use RAM that can actually still be bought because smartphone companies + AI bullshit haven’t bought all of the stock for the next 2 years.






  • Hey hey hey,

    They stand up against unions

    They stand up against cheap, green energy

    They stand up against human rights

    They stand up against good working conditions

    They stand up against good and affordable medical care

    They stand up against required paid sick leave and maternity leave

    They stand up against regulations to not poison people or exploit people quite so much

    They stand up against anything that might slightly hurt short term profits.

    They pump tens or hundreds of billions at the government to “stand up to them”. Just always, without exception, to pommel the working class and long term into the ground and sacrifice the long term for short term superficial gains.






  • Depends. Here in the EU even Aldi sells linen and >90% cotton clothes sometimes. Some of my best short sleeve linen button down shirts for summer were 10€ at Aldi

    H&M, C&A, etc… All also sell cotton and linen for just a bit more than their polyester.

    I don’t know about america, maybe you have to search it out more, but you definitely would have to go to actual clothing stores and not target, Walmart, etc… They definitely sell them though. I mean, jeans are not polyester and everyone can buy jeans everywhere it seems. Also linen and cotton lasts longer than polyester clothes.

    Just a warning though. Aluminum antiperspirants can cause skin irritation and absolutely cause aluminum salt stains on clothes (bright yellow pits on white shirts).

    Also there is a correlation link between aluminum levels and Alzheimer’s, but nobody had proved causation so it may be an unrelated coincidence.

    Easier just to shower, scrub well, and use deoderant. That is usually enough for the average person, just not heavy sweating people or people in very hot environments.

    PSA: Also wash your clothes (without fabric softener) and stop buying polyester. Much of the “BO stink” is from sweating in polyester clothes and not washing them for a few more wears. Plastic doesn’t absorb and dry out the bacteria so it is much much worse than cotton, linen, or wool. Also use vinegar as fabric softener, it doesn’t smell after the final rinse cycle and it doesn’t leave a waxy film on your clothes that keeps the bacteria nice and comfortable like formula softener.
