coconutking@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Covid-like shortages for US consumers ‘within weeks’English843·1 month agoThis rhetoric is just trying to butter us up for the impending next round of price gouging.
If something seems too expensive, don’t buy it and opt for goods with less headway for markup. Start cooking scratch meals and cut out the prefab stuff; you’ll take more time for food prep, but it will save you thousands in medical bills later on.

coconutking@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supportedEnglish2·9 months agoThis is a commendable goal; though it would still rely on good faith that a lot of these companies won’t have.
They’d rather screw the users anyway, sell the IP and let it rot within the maws of some holding company.
We’ll need some clauses that the tech cannot go inactive as it trades hands as well.
Further, some teeth will be needed toward feature deactivation, as there’s nothing stopping a company from yanking features and packaging it up as efficiencies made or product evolution.
coconutking@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?English5·1 year agoNobody’s mentioning the lossy sound quality of Bluetooth compared to wired. Bluetooth relies on codecs and compression in order to stream the data fast enough to listen uninterrupted.
Wired sets are lossless; and yes, some people can hear the difference.
