Meta’s emissions were 3000x higher than they reported?! What the heck are they doing over there

If you’re the one working on this infrastructure, then why are the reports saying that it’s only 13%? Are you guys lying on the forms?
God damnit not this swill again. It’s not even close to triple, it’s like 15%. Read. The. Reports.
For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.
And it’s the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.
The EU’s CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.
I see your concern, but in practice that’s not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.
Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.
But the entire point of Rust and Result is… to force you to make a choice of what should happen
Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.
Nit: One engineer at a company saying something is not the same as that whole company saying something. I wish they would just say “Google employee insists…”
Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.
Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.
Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You’ll get it 50% off.
I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.
This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it’s way better than my work’s $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.
Feel free to add it to the list. It’s Wikipedia.
Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It’s Wikipedia

They’d have to block all investment platforms. Even ETrade and Chase have ads like that.
FWIW, if it’s privacy you’re worried about, you can download the APK and decompile it. Shouldn’t be hard to verify it’s not phoning home.
I’ve tried a few journaling apps on F-Droid but ultimately couldn’t find anything as good as Daylio.
FWIW I don’t really like tech companies in general. They’re monopolies.
That said, I really admire Google’s environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They’re doing better than any other tech company on that front.
Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it’s 100% renewable (it’s not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it’s emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.
It’s a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn’t pay for.
Because security through obscurity is not security at all.
Too long, didn’t read
