Europe passed a regulation just recently mandating user-replaceable batteries in smart phones after a certain year. They passed a law a few years back mandating usb-c (in effect) on phones by outlawing proprietary connection standards. That was enough for Apple to change the design worldwide. Maybe the phone makers will do something similar with the batteries.

Yeah it really is. We need to make it legal to build again.

Well that's one less ting to worry about.

Happy belated Birthday!

I've never lived in a place that had green rocks and clay.

️ The stamps were my favorite.

Technology has also revolutionized baseball pitching. Pitchers today are much better than in the past, and harder to hit.

Well I'm not eating candy again. I'm going to watch the whole video because a woman breaks down all the test results and gives alternatives to various products.

The anti-hooning candidate!

That's wonderful!

It's all Greek to me.

@Daniel Actually, I don't think it's all dumb. I think calling it intelligence is dumb, and insulting to mankind. But the problem is the way AI is being developed and enveloping society by a handful of tech corporations, some of whom are showing clear signs of fascism. Congress should do its duty and put the brakes on AI until a clear understanding of its damaging effects is better understood. What negative side effects will AI bring? What danger will it pose to the safety of citizens? How can it be controlled by other than the profit seeking sector? The power in this country belongs to the people, not corporations who will do anything for power and money.

Good article!

It is a great photo!

How can anyone do that at 91?!

Well, assuming they made no scientific mistake, and a living thing lived for 24,000 years, or came back to life after being frozen for 24,000 year... is this meant to be about the idea that deceased human beings might be frozen (they are being frozen) and brought back to life in the future? I've always thought this idea was macabre, and I do not believe it is possible or will ever be possible. Imo, these matters or only decided by God (or by the Universe, if you like).
