       @sj_zero @smallcircles Your talking of the struggle between design efficiency and market efficiency.

       @sj_zero @smallcircles It's called planned obsolescence. Yes they make it inexpensive so that you will throw it away and buy a new one. Energy efficient doesn't mean it must be shoddy. Design efficient products can be repaired hence reducing waste. The production of the appliance requires tremendous energy hence waste if you need to keep replacing the 'energy efficient' new thing.

       @J12t @sj_zero @smallcircles Another principle would be to require that manfacturers have a cradle to grave responsibilty for their products and have a real system of disposal. They could design the materials to be recycled for future products reducing demand for more raw materials. Long term cost effective instead of short term cheap(resource expensive).

       @J12t @sj_zero @smallcircles When I was  a kid I loved to open the back of radios because inside you could find the schematics. The manufacturer put them there to facilitate repair.

       @stux I'm a big fan of Bethesda and it pains me to have to hate this beta. No mapping, no ability to set place markers, and the New Atlantis is like a badly designed mall, I had to find out by accident through an elevator in a back ally how to get to'the well' and never found the MedLab. It's like Micro$oft put a gun to Bethesdas head and said 'Release this beta or else'
