Game changer for people who can’t stand controllers, and for all the great non controller designed games on games pass. Can’t wait!

But theyre not recycled much–YET.

Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They’re getting there!

After the upcoming Civil War. I’m not advocating for it, but I definitely think it’s inevitable.

This shit made me laugh so hard. I appreciate you OP!

I seriously can’t recommend Kagi enough! Make an account and do a hundred searches (FREE) that aren’t monetized and/or used to advertise to you or steal your data. It’s incredible what a difference it makes.

When a fact looks like propaganda to you, then you need to recognize the red flag and seek self improvement.

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

I don’t know how to help you read.

You sound like a demagog who feels attacked when faced with facts or genuine issues. Advocating for improvements to the technology isn’t being anti-EV or even anti-battery. LOL. #faceplam&sigh

EDIT: Why on earth are people downvoting improving battery technology? LMFAO, sometimes this place is batshit crazy.

There’s research into many different formulations that don’t use nearly as much (or in some cases any) toxic materials, solid-state batteries, etc.

Are you taking the critique personally? If so, that’s a misunderstanding. It’s not an attack on you.

It’s simply a fact there’s a LONG way to go on battery tech, and anything we can do to increase power density while decreasing weight is critical to making them more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

I love EVs and truly believe they’re the future. But holy shit what must these monsters weigh? And, what’s the environmental impact considering our current shitty battery tech?

I still support moving this direction because it creates the necessary infrastructure that can be leveraged by newer battery tech. And likely even with the batteries, it’s better than diesel.

But the new batteries to make them lighter and less polluting can’t come soon enough.

Appreciate you taking the time to help me understand.

Thank you for the response!

It seems like a potential scalability issue, and a lot of work. Props to the administrators who deal with this right now.

So basically a silk road alternative, but not really because it would be much easier to track down and remove a node? Or is it possible to also hide a node and rely on forcing de-federation?

For a free throw example, because it shouldn’t become a go-to for child pornography.

Thank you for this. It helps me with further inquiry—I wasn’t sure what to search. Again, thank you!

It’s fine that you want to vent. Go ahead and raise that fist to the sky and give it hell, kiddo!

If misdirecting that at me makes you feel better, do it. Rock on, and I’m glad I could help. I hope you feel better!

Yes, but OP was asking for more than a single high-level example. And, again, exclusively answering colonialism would be disingenuous if we implied that was THE answer instead of part of it.

Quoting myself here…

Here are some topics but NOT an exhaustive list:

Thought debt could go into some of the other categories. Calling it out individually or under a broader umbrella of economics would be fine, too. It’s just a suggestion list for OP to research.

Many of the issues CAN be and are linked to colonialism, reread what I wrote.

Yes, your points are pertinent and support problems that colonialism is relevant to, I did not claim otherwise.

However, you’re clearly focused on negatives and crimes (in many cases rightfully so) the US has caused. But the question wasn’t exclusive to the US and is not exclusive to the US.

For the OPs question, trying to exclusively link everything to or overstate the colonial influence is an example of what I was saying as well.

It’s comforting to pretend that we just say one word “colonialism” and think that now we’re experts on the subject. But there’s so much more than colonialism, which again is a big factor (the first I listed), and overemphasis of it while disregarding the other real issues and nuances is counterproductive to learning.
