  • My system isn’t even that old (maybe 4 years) and the first few times I got that very annoying popup that I should try to upgrade it told me in vague terms that I couldn’t. So be it, everything runs fine now. I have backups of everything, so if WIn10 doesn’t continue to work as simply unsupported one day I’ll look for ways to “fix” it like someone mentioned with a 3rd party, or go to Linux and adapt to it. Anyone who has ever had a drive failure knows that the solution is to use a recovery USB which will be a portable Linux, so it will be just another version of that.

    I think it’s even worse. They didn’t tell us what was and wasn’t recyclable. They used symbols very similar to the recycling logo to stamp on various types of plastics to classify them. Most of the types used are one time use, they never were meant to imply recycling, that’s just the symbol appearance.

    Recycling started off as the third R and last resort, the first two were Reduce and Reuse. Those were not compatible with an economy based on consumerism and growth, so Recycling became the focus, creating an industry to pick through the few things that could be recycled and trashing the rest, and encouraging the public to buy more because it’s not a problem as long as you participate.

    And if you don’t participate, all the problems are your fault. Not the companies making the stuff, they’re just doing what you want.
