I get the sentiment, but you overlooked the part where I said I live in an old building in Europe and not by choice. It’s rural too, but powder food can be stored with no refrigeration. In fact the severe lack of progressiveness, technological access has mandated my lifestyle, because everything else would not only be…

It’s about the underlying structure, but if you feel you live responsibly and you’re happy with it then I’m happy for you, as I’m content with my choices.

I’ve been very healthy on this diet so far, and I hand-wash my clothes in the shower, wool is very practical and naturally moisture and odor resistant. Haven’t had any complaints.

Since unfortunately I have to live in an old, traditional house right now I’m buying hot water for showers and HomeKit-controlled radiator heating from the local ultilities company. I use it sparingly and it’s environmentally responsibly generated.

The only energy consuming devices I’m using are an iPhone 7, two LED bulbs and a portable Dyson vacuum cleaner. It’s a good life with just this equipment and I look in disbelieve at how my neighbors sheer excess and wastefulness. Anyway, as long as we live in permanent, inflexible structures there is little progress…

And lukewarm reception. Almost surprising considering the many cold hearts.

There are many ways, from forming an international institution to using the blockchain as artists already do today. Do you really find international collaboration that inconceivable, or do you just prefer to discriminate against people who happened to be born in another part of the world for your benefit?

That’s true, but the music industry got a forced headstart with mp3 almost ruining them and Steve Jobs establishing a worldwide marketplace with iTunes against all closed minded resistance. Unfortunately instead of learning by example how to transition to a functioning digital distribution model the other creative…

Maybe we can redeem ourselves a little in the future by paying for walls against us. I’m also so sorry for reading Gizmodo and thinking modern technology could matter anywhere in the world. Now back to my clay hut being lazy and inferior.

Contemporary art is essential too.

Or maybe we stop the ridiculous national segregation and just publish worldwide.

Careful with that perspective, I got viciously attacked the last time I suggested that people exist outside of the US and they deserve fair access to essential art and culture.

Even Microsoft knows that Apple have great resale value, compared to any other manufacturer even the glass and aluminum material value is noteworthy. Telling enough that they won’t buy back their own products.

Apple has said years ago that they tried it and doesn’t work well on upright screens. That’s what iPad Pro are for.

During the presentation Apple explicitely said that the display charges the MacBook Pro and provides all connections through a single Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Simplicity is nice, and this goes back to the Jobs-era consumer/pro two-tier.

That’s been available for over a year and called 12" MacBook. Besides, they made a thorough comparison showing that the new 13" MacBook Pro, if you want more performance, is smaller, thinner and lighter than the discontinued 13" MacBook Air.

Ultimately smart watches are relatively expensive for only a smart phone accessory that should probably be ugraded yearly as the technology is still in its infancy. Once they become independently useful and connected computers with longer upgrade cycles they’ll be a reasonable investment.

I rejected what sounded like a typical climate change deniers “climate always changed heavily, we just have no records” argument and did not question the benefits of technical progress.

Yeah, before satellite imaging no Tibetan record noticed gigantic ice avalanches, good call.
