- Comment on Smart tires will report on the health of roads in new pilot program 16 hours ago:
Why make the tires smart? That just creates more continous e-waste.
Add sensors to the car instead

Fair point!
- Comment on I'd be screaming too lmao 21 hours ago:
I get that, that was already discussed, so I wanted to focus on the confusing PPE situation
- Comment on I'd be screaming too lmao 21 hours ago:
Ok, so let me get this straight, the assistants are wearing full body heavy PPE, overalls, respirators and gloves, though the overalls and gloves are not connected together, nor are the assistants wearing any eye protection?
And the doctor injecting the patient doesn’t even wear gloves?

- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
Eh, fair I guess, but I maintain that glasses are 100% safe when you try them out, LASIK is way more dangerous during the treatment phase even at a 99% safety rating
- Comment on when you thought it couldn't get any better 1 week ago:
Sorry, but it could absolutely be better than WiFi
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
That is why I specified “directly”, accidents happen, but the glasses won’t dammage your eyes just by wearing them
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
I see your point, but when you consider that eyeglasses have a 100% guarantee to not damage your eyes directly, that one percent risk becomes a huge extra risk.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
99% safe isn’t that safe, it just means that out of every hundred customer one will be injured.
So, looking at this page:
mariettaeye.com/…/lasik-eye-surgery-statistics/
1700000 lasik procedures are performed every year (estimate), and to give the treatment the best possible chances (and make it easier to do the math), let’s accept that it is 99% safe
This means that every year 17000 people are in some way injured by it.
That is not negligible…

I have been very happy with my Panasonic Lumix S5 and previously GX80, though I am planning on getting a Sony A7 IV as I want better AF, I’ll keep my S5 and the lenses though as I love the colors from it

- Comment on The Doomed Economics of KLARNA - "Buy Now, Pay Never" 3 weeks ago:
I interviewed for a job at Klarna HQ in Stockholm about a decade ago, and I am glad I didn’t get it, I had a great time at my past employer and a have decent time at my current.
Their reception was flashy, but the interview was strained.
I used to love Klarnas payment system, when I first got into online shopping it was great, you entered your name, phone and address, and then selected that you wanted to pay through your internet bank, you got sent to your internet bank, logged in with your hardware token and approved the single transaction, done, easy.
Now you need to set up an autopay service to Klarna to be able to do something similar, oh and they won’t take the money immediately, it can take a few days, so you can loose track of it and be annoyed later.
I will never take any offer to buy now, pay later, that is just dumb.

Yeah, if they stopped spending money on exclusivity, they could invest in store features.

Absolutely, competition is allways good for the consumer, even in this case.
Since EGS offers a worse experience, I will use Steam instead.
