it is also somewhat misleading

…what? No it isn’t. Restricting the premise from infinite to any finite amount of time completely negates it. That doesn’t prove it’s “misleading”, it proves anyone that thinks it does has no idea what they’re talking about.

All of these articles treat energy usage like a massive crime, but miss/ignore that the world’s energy use needs to go up as we increasingly turn to electric alternatives. The problem truly lies in how we generate electricity, not how we use it.

So the actual answer to your question is intense and rapid investment in sustainable, non-carbon energy production. An infrastructure revamp to rival any other in history. It would’ve been far better to do so decades ago, but that’s no longer an option. Anything else is just half measures we can’t afford.

I didn’t read the article, but wouldn’t the site see the phone as soon as it’s taken out of the bag? Unless the plan is to leave the phone in the bag the whole time, at which point it seems easier to just leave it behind.

Instagram has it’s fair share of blame for the trend, but I don’t think they were the progenitor, as it were. Snapchat was far more heavy-handed with face altering filters from the get-go, as I remember it. Instagram was mostly just the “old-school” sepia tone, black-and-white type filters for the most part until that picked up.

He threw $44 billion at it for the right to destroy it. It wasnt worth that much.

Weird how many “false positives” they get. Uncanny.
