  • It depends how they make them. Some plant based burgers are just made with scraps from soy milk production, look like expired meat and taste like polystyrene or worse while the impossible burger it’s difficult to distinguish with a blind test: the flavor, the texture and the appearance are extremely similar. They even have the fake blood in the middle





  • Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

    I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can’t run anything. Everything that you download doesn’t run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can’t access any website that’s using let’s encrypt which is a big chunk.

    And it’s like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

    It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

    For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)














  • From the bios I can see everything about the drives I tested, serial number, activate hardware encryption and so on, so at least the connector isn’t broken.

    It was a purchase on a whim, i wouldn’t buy it again. The CPU is permanently soldered on it, if the mobo stops working I lose both components

    Lesson learned, from now on I will always buy reputable brands. If there’s a bug in this bios build nobody would ever fix it. Or if it was fixed, good luck finding the right file for an unbranded unlabeled product…

    Then I remember that I bought a MSI b650 that doesn’t play nice with a MSI GPU since the November bios update…

    And not even enough. As a society we’re condoning too much when it’s about cars.

    Going 100 in a 30 should be charged as “attempted massacre” if stopped. Because it’s not an “accident” anymore when you go that fast.

    And driving that fast in a residential area without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should be an aggravating circumstance and not the opposite.
