There are things that can't be replaced, however there is no reason we should be dumping it into the ocean.
If we must have plastic, it must incinerated with carbon capture - that's a cost but it's a cost that must be incorporated into the purchase of the raw polymers. Japan does not have a single use plastic problem, despite almost everything being wrapped in single use plastic.
The critically ill woman died at the entrance of the Agricultural Bank of China’s Tianxin branch in Zhuzhou City of the central Chinese province of Hunan before she could complete the withdrawal procedure, the nephew said in the video.
...She repeatedly failed to pass the facial recognition as she was too ill to blink or shake her head as required during the screening and died after nearly an hour-and-a-half of such failed attempts.
In China, banks like the Agricultural Bank of China have made it mandatory to use facial recognition technology to process withdrawals
Laser scanning is possible, 6-axis milling machines exist and on a subminiature scale.
Why is there no 6-axis painting machine? I understand there are 3D printers that can do this, but 3D printing costs more than just making a die (or reusing a similar die from another model) at a certain scale.
That and probably since V1 switches are softmoddable forever.
'Bricking' seems to be hyperbole from the author though, I'd wager they're doing the same online bans as Switch1. However as Game Key carts are going to be a big thing now- with no eShop access those Game Key carts might not work if you don't have the game downloaded already. (or possibly might not work at all)
That would render the device unusable if you only had Game Key Carts and/or digital purchases, you'd not really be able to use the console at all.
Silly example- why are there elevators and LOADING SCREENS in New Atlantis - if you have enough jetpack or just abuse TCL, you can walk around the entirety of New Atlantis, without a single loading screen.
