The problem is that they're not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.

So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn't allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there's that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it's very limited.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

AI Training is a flexible energy consumer, meaning it can be switched on and off at will, so that it can take advantage of excess solar power during the daylight, providing extra income to solar panel parks. The important thing to do is to install solar panels, and then AI training isn't an environmental problem anymore.

tbh if you're worried about fiat currency, you shouldn't be investing in crypto currency (which is even more volatile imo) but instead in real, physical assets (such as food and housing).

Then again, i believe that the big problems can only be solved by repairing the society as a whole. Investing in your own wealth, imo, isn't worth it. But your choice is yours.

I would say that both are interesting proposals to look at. Of course, doing the math and crafting the best approach is work and takes time, and I can't give many details in a lemmy comment.

I imagine it has also something to do with safety? Like, if it was instantaneous, that means you can do damage instantaneously, or a hacker might have fewer hurdles to go through.

How about slowing the trolley down then, instead of stopping it. Would that be a deal?

I thought so too, but it doesn't even make sense, because the only one they're hurting this way is themselves.

If they don't adopt EVs, it will be to their disadvantage in the long run.

Paradeiser

I believe they called them that because the first people to try them liked them so much, they thought they were in paradise.

Highly unlikely they will do any of this, so you should not worry ublock got you covered.

Five years ago, a lot of people would have said the same thing about enshittification.

It's like they're trying to show you a party that's going on in some private location, but you don't get in, because you don't have an account. Well then, they say, if the account is free and you still don't make it, it's not our fault. So they close you out.

You telling them to "just copy and paste the content" is like telling them to send you a photo/video of the party. It's not the same as being there.

It's a Zen Koan.

Basically, the meaning of it is "live your life proudly, and don't let other people dictate whether your rules are right or wrong, because your rule just is".
