carride··on Can Old Lime Bikes and Hard Disks Counter China's Rare-Earth Chokehold?
> * Globally, less than 1% of the rare-earth metals in expired technology gets recycled, according to a report published last year by the United Nations. That is because separating the magnets from the other materials and parts they are embedded in hasn’t been cost-effective—especially when access to low-cost products from China hasn’t been a worry. *

carride··on Americans' new TV habit: Subscribe, watch, cancel, repeat
This is exactly what I have been doing since the pandemic. I have two issues that cause me to do this. First there is Netflix with no way to evaluate all their content inside their user interface. You need to browse on another device at NYT, Tomatoes, and other reviews before deciding what to watch. Netflix of the past had APIs that let 3rd parties access the titles which gave Fanatics the opportunity to comment, review, blog, etc… Netflix killed that, and they have failed to create an internal community area where fans can discuss content. So the best is to only watch the 10% of content which they promote, cancel the service, and then come back in 3-6 months.

Second reason I do this is streaming services like Apple, simply do not have enough content to continue paying every month.

carride··on Vultr is now claiming full perpetual commercial rights over all hosted content
> The issue you see about pricing is that they only offer that cheap price in some data centers. Atlanta has it, but the current default selection of Miami does not. They could definitely do better to make this obvious since they are advertising that minimum, but this is not at all surprising to me who has used tons of cloud provisioning UIs. I don't think it's reasonable to expect the same pricing in all regions, no one actually does that.

They have a one year free-tier you can sign-up for during your trial. I am on that plan now. Still I always forget to search different regions when attempting to launch a free VM, so there is some delay until I remember to choose Atlanta.
