  • Are you me when I was back in school? Is this a loop hole?

    Yes, much of which we learn in school seems/feels unnecessary to a perceived/imagined/planned personal future but its the variety of subjects that creates the basis for multi layered reasoning.

    I am painfully aware Lemmy is mostly populated by high technically proficient individuals but the world is not about to be handled by machines and AI, not now and I risk not ever, simply because there are tasks that can not and should not ever be handled by a machine.

    IT and tech is not the cusp of human achievement.

    So, first you need to learn how to set up the printer, then fetch the bot produced text, review (hopefully), load it to the printer, run a test to determine it every part is working, run the “print”, review it…

    I’d risk doing it yourself would be quicker

  • How is that?

    As it is, that same argument was used by Apple to try to dodge from complying with the demand for having an industry standard for data and charge port/cable - the USB-C.

    Planned obsolescence is a thing. Having law put in place to curb it is a good thing.

    If you know you can buy something and you know that something will be repairable at least for a decade, it passes confidence to the end user.

    Competition is welcome. Innovation as well. Legislation like this just means companies need to share standards and cooperate more and not aim to skin the client in an endless cycle of replacing expensive items that get thrown out before they are worn out.




  • Prices for food in a restaurant is not that hard to calculate: you figure the cost of one plate of food, multiply it by four and that is price to be charged before taxation.

    One part is for the pantry. One part is for the kitchen staff. One part is for the room staff. One part is for the house.

    Not hard to figure.

    Drinks and beverages are basically all profit, unless you want to drink water with a refined meal (the healthiest/best option but most people won’t), so you will pay for a soft drink twice or triple what it costs you at the store and lets not start talking about wines, beers or, even worse, spirits.
