America, after spending an insane level of resources and decades of man power to make someone say a phrase: HA! GOT EM!

That’s why he needed such a high compensation package from tesla lol.

She just wants to save the trees!!
SAVING ELECTRICITY LOL WUT
I came here to recommend Osprey as an alternative haha. Their bags all have that guarantee. They’ll fix or replace your bag no matter what.
Ah yes, they’ll never obtain my password if not even I know it.
I grew up on the internet of the 90’s and 00’s. Lemmy is a far cry from that, but it’s more like the original internet than reddit or facebook. So here I am. I miss the small, interest driven internet holes you and they’re here more than on any other platform.
Hold on, no one said I had to learn to know how to code.
This is… More inspirational than I thought it could be.

Do you know any examples of which companies that have done this? I’m not asking to be facetiois, just genuinely curious.
Do you mean a simple audio or visual test that will test for diseases/ailments other than audio/visual issues? I’m not aware of any, and I doubt they exist. I’m not an expert though. I feel like most of the things mentioned in the meme don’t need a test, imo? Like as long as you’re in touch with your body and pay attention to what you intake these maladies should be easy to differentiate between.
They’re based on color blindness tests. They work because the background and the numbers appear to be the same color, making the number indistinguishable from the background if you have that specific kind of color blindness.
Oh they’re serious, but yeah Isreal is a joke.
In the classical sense, yes.
The power companies here are privately owned, and America has a lot of laws dealing with what the government can and can not tell private companies what to do. Most of the laws deal with what the government cannot do. Basically, the company sells electricity at cost, then sends the government a letter that’s like, “Hey, we need $$$ for repairs, upgrades, and stock holders. Here’s all the upgrades we want.” And the government is like “Sure, this is America, gotta turn a profit,” and gives the utility companies whatever they ask for. Then the utility companies just give all the money to the stock holders, perform the bare minimum repairs to operate, and just lie to the government about what they did with the money. There is an especially egregious case in South Carolina where a utility claimed for years that they were going to build a nuclear plant to help meet energy demands in the area. Well after an audit, turns out the owner just pocketed all that money. That guy was punished, but see how bad it has to get before anything happens?
This video does a much better job at explaining it than I ever could. It’s long, but they explain how utilities make a profit in the first 15 mins. https://youtu.be/2n_au5Hje_E?si=S9e8o7QQpFjueZta
I’m speaking from an American perspective, but what you’re describing is part of the problem. Power companies are legally not allowed to make a profit from selling electricity here. They make a profit from the government giving them money to expand their services (this model was developed following world war 2 to encourage post war growth).
Again, under America’s current model, solar is not profitable, especially not for large corporations.
I had great success installing fedora on a Microsoft surface. It ran better on Linux than it did with windows lol.
