That's true. And that's the reason why you'll get one or two firmware/driver updates and that's it. These companies have work to do on the other hand. A laptos or desktop is a widespread product. Valve had to go a long way to make the Deck happen.

Companies are the biggest polluters. And production of products with high CO2 footprint would simply move to countries that don't care. That's what happens with most environmental or financial regulation. What makes you think a carbon tax would be different? Imho a system that is based on unlimited exponential growth is the problem.
Does taxed carbon do less damage to the environment? My guess would be that the only thing that would happen are increased consumer prices. Wealthy people simply pay their "pollution fee" and keep going.
Which of the two parties you have to choose from in the US would actually change that?
I don't like any of them. But from what I see, Android is the first one to make that feature in a way that it's compatible with non-Android devices. That's what the U in USB was meant for. The Apple version probably only works with other Apple devices, I guess.
Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve's main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven't played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, .. Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they'll release a new revision and you won't see a single software update for the old model ever again.
Ich finde die ThinkPads haben immer noch den besten Preis/Leistung. Bei Apple darf man nur auf die Leistung schauen, die ist ganz gut. Der Preis den man dafür zahlt nicht. User experience ist Geschmacksache.
Iirc the funding from MS to Apple was part of a deal they made with the authorities. Not because they wanted to.
Wenn du in deiner Überlegung fehlenden Mut durch legale Korruption aka "Lobbyismus" ersetzt macht das alles plötzlich Sinn.
That's pretty much my opinion about this, too. It's not like GRRM invented dragons that were hatched from eggs or anything like that. Having said that, I do think it's problematic if the AI model belongs to a company and it's not transparent about what data is being used to train their model.
I'm using Vim on Arch but I'm vegetarian, not vegan. Anyway, that would be my order.
Import taxes on carbon would only work if we could track the carbon along the supply chain. Don't get me wrong, we're on the same side basically I'm just pessimistic that it'll be that easy. Having said that, I have to admin that I don't have any idea about how to fix that.
