  • It’s all intentional. Tupperware, just like Red Lobster, Toys R Us, and every other high profile corporate bankruptcy where you just go “what were they thinking?”.

    They were taken over by Boston Consulting Group, stripped for parts (any remaining $), stole the land, and rolled the debt into bankruptcy.

    It’s so extreme it sounds like some shadowy cnspiracy but this is all public, verifiable information. All these companies either directly brought in BCG or their executive teams were BCG plants.

    Welcome to the efficient market of capitalism.












  • It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

    The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

    A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.

    The actual climate scientists have been increasingly saying their models show there’s no point to even trying while capitalism still exists, and get continuously worse every time they add recent data to the model,

    …but I support, commend, and unironically respect your commitment OP. One person can absolutely make a difference to their local ecosystem assuming they have enough money and land.






  • People had fewer existential crises when the wealth difference between your peasant ass and the literal king was less than the wealth difference between us today and Elon Musk.

    Only half kidding. There is no point, climate change is ending modern human civilization within 50 years anyway. That is not a joke or exaggeration or shitpost. That is hard science, the models just keep getting worse and worse.

    Welcome to the end of capitalism, and humanity with it. Love yourself a little before it all ends, fam. Buy that treat. None of this matters anyway.
