Industry, climate change, and my politics 

You start making products that last. You stop making things that will break so another can be sold, you take control and build a more durable world that lasts for human use.

Then you cut out the industry that's not needed anymore. Once you're making housing and appliances that last decades instead of years you've already made a massive leap towards sustainability.

i love rewatching stuff after i’ve gained some new context, and the scene from ghost in the shell where togusa and the major are discussing why the major put togusa on her team is pretty great for this. “organizations or humans, what lies beyond specialization is a slow death.” has another element entirely to it now

rant about proprietary software 

good that there's Chaosflix, because this evening youtube on the TV stopped working altogehter.

the youtube chromecast app is malfunctioning, and we can't do anything about it

there isn't even an error code, it just doesn't work

tried the chromecast ultra, the tv's built-in sink, with 3 different android devices, 2 accounts

it tries to connect, then fails. no message. no log.

mild politics, rabbling about memetics and genetics 

Your genetics do not determine who you are as a person.

Your memetics- the genetics of your ideas, the lineages of spirituality and wisdom throughout the ages, the culture that you were raised in, the faiths you follow or scorn, who you see as worthy of love and humanity- that is the measure of who you are.

Someone brought in a new thinkpad x62 for us to repair at work. It's an old thinkpad x61 with a custom motherboard that has a 5th gen intel CPU, support for NVME storage, a high resolution screen hacked in, etc. The form factor, keyboard, and build quality of the x61 are great, but it came with a core 2 duo.
The seller sent him one with a beat up case, so he bought a new x61 case and he's having us install it.
The cable for the modded display looks very fragile, they used individual wires for the connection. They also soldered the speaker wires to the connector.
