I don't need to do meaningless tasks to remind myself thst we should find better ways to treat our habitat and the resources in it. Less consumption and more robust and reusable packaging is the solution, not doing pointless tasks for awareness.
What were they thinking. A mini disc enclosure with a blu ray density disk inside would be perfect for so many use cases. Considering the extremely low prices we see for usb sticks and sd cards these days, imagine how cheap these discs could be to mass produce.
I love this idea. I wish there was some kind of 2024 equivalent to doing this. Maybe a rewritable optical media of some sort. Sony really should have brought the minidisc to the pc as a floppy and cd/dvd rom replacement.
It is quite ironic. Because I have a Sony with sailfish on it. If Nokia had gotten their act together sooner the market could have looked very differently. It is just an old story repeating itself, IBM was once a behemoth in the personal computer industry as well, both hardware and software wise. And much like Nokia they failed to adapt to a changing market.
This whole article is a single cause fallacy. There are many reasons Nokia failed in the smartphone market. This is one of them, but it is not the sole reason.
