Can we spare a moment to think about this?

This is not a real concern; it would even be welcome, even more if the devs could implement some sort of bittorrent infrastucture to share workload.

Companies would try to enter the network by deploying their own instances. But having to deal with them would be very much optional, as they could be easily defederated or simply blocked.

The network would benefit from having the added resources but only those who really wanted to deal with those guys would have to.

Win/win.

This wasn't one or two isolated cases: it was a race to the stores.

I was a kid then and my grandparents got caught in the wave and bought more lamps that they required to light the entire house. Which later proved to be of bad quality and aided me in making their transition to energy saving bulbs.

People would line up in front of stores to get the precious, precious bulbs, making the exact same sort of conversation and observations we can read throughout this thread, criticizing government and politics in general.

The store owners would chime in and add fuel to the fire, stating a lot of people would lose their jobs, as the factories would close (cute fact: there was precisely zero factories for those products in the entire country).

People are stubborn and will not change ways unless no other option is available and even then grudgingly, while companies only shift practices if forced, be it by force of law or by cash flow and profit goals.

Governments enforcing positive laws and regulations, even if unpopular, are necessary measures to move things forward in a modern society.

Não concordo.

Foi muito satisfatório ouvir aquele reconhecimento vindo de quem vem mas quem é não deixa de ser uma figura eclesiástica, que só é representativa de/para um segmento com tendência para encolher da população.

Para mim, todos têm o direito a terem os mesmos direitos.

Logo, e reiterando que não tenho cavalo naquela corrida, posso dizer que estou plenamente satisfeito em assistir a ela e apoiar os participantes.

Há-de ter doído a muita gente ouvir essa. Estou a aguardar pelas críticas dos fundamentalistas, apesar de não ter cavalo nessa corrida.

Are we talking about the machines that have literal pull out trays for ink, that comes in very large bottles, or an earlier model?

Because the EcoTanks I've been told about have those features.

I'm sorry, I'm not following your reasoning. Can you elaborate, please?

LED refrigerator bulbs are already a thing; bought one recently by accident, when looking for a very low power/low brightness for a bed side table.

Those, apparently, are no longer a concern.

Screw in LED bulbs with built in brightness and color control, that you can command from a phone application or through a conventional remote control, are already common, thus rendering conventional dimmers obsolete.

Why keep those? To my very limited knowledge, dimmers can require expensive and extensive installation.

I have seen LED traffic lights with built in anti frost measures and the expenditure to have those replaced is not a good argument to keep that particular use of incandescent lamps around.

LED low power requirements, paired with their long service life, enables traffic lights to be independent from the power grid, through the use of solar panels and batteries, keeping it working even when severe weather disrupts energy distribution. LEDs are also brighter and easier to see from afar.

There may be very particular cases where incandescent bulbs still do not have an alternative but to say they are irreplaceable is a disservice.

I'm not trying to be dismissive, I'm trying to be demanding.

There are studies that point towars the increase of the auto imune diseases bit then there is the consensus that we are getting better and better at diagnosing those conditions.

I'll stay neutral on that.

Diabetes always existed, as well as heart conditions and pretty much every single disease or malady capable of afflicting our species. Those are not novelties in our collective history; we are, fortunately, a lot more aware of it.

Average life expectancy has been on the rise for many decades, regardless the hit of CoViD, and the tendency for growing life expectancy will continue.

We're going through a dark period but we are living longer and healthier than the previous generations and, hopefully, the next will live even longer and better.
