So we all know that that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and to a certain extent, we have to acknowledge that our way of life is dependent on the suffering of others. Fortunately, it seems there are people who are pushing against that. If you're in the market for a new phone, I urge you to check out the Fairphone 4. It's made using ethically sourced materials and designed to be modular, so you can make repairs at home- which means if you crack your screen, or the battery stops working, you don't have to buy a whole new phone. I know the world is becoming more and more aware of the horrific conditions being suffered by people in places like DRC to make our smart devices. You can use your buying power to make a change.

I am personally not in the market for a new phone just yet, but if you are looking to get a new phone, I encourage you to look into ethically sourced phones and other tech. If you already have a Fairphone, please reblog this and talk about your experience. Be honest. Give the pros and cons so people can make informed decisions. We can't immediately stop all of the horrors that capitalism has brought on the world, but we have the power to make smaller choices where we can to mitigate the harm done.

Fairphone's main company seems to operate in Europe (website here), but if you are looking to buy in the US and Canada, check out their partner site, Murena (website here).

More progress posted by the dev who's remaking Super Mario 64 to run on the GBA. Of particular interest is a more firm announcement that the original code should eventually be available. This could potentially (in my opinion) drive a movement to make new use of older/lower power hardware with new games using the optimizations this developer is making.

Innovations Behind the Role of AI in Scaling Geothermal Energy Solutions

Geothermal energy has always promised abundant clean heat beneath our feet, but tapping it efficiently at scale has remained a challenge. Today, advanced AI technologies are changing that equation. By optimizing site selection, improving drilling precision, forecasting maintenance, and managing grids, AI brings a new level of intelligence to geothermal energy projects. Understanding the role of AI in scaling geothermal energy solutions reveals how we can expand this renewable source sustainably and affordably.

Why Geothermal Energy Needs AI Geothermal energy has huge untapped potential but faces obstacles in exploration costs, operational efficiency, and unpredictable geological risks. AI’s data-driven approach overcomes these barriers by analyzing seismic, geological, and operational data with unmatched speed and precision, unlocking new opportunities where traditional methods fall short.

Smart Site Selection with AI Choosing the right geothermal site determines project viability and cost-effectiveness. AI models process vast geological datasets, historical drilling records, and satellite imagery to identify optimal sites faster than conventional surveys. This reduces the risks and costs of exploration while increasing the chances of success.

Optimizing Drilling and Operations Drilling deep into the earth is costly and technically challenging. AI-driven systems monitor real-time drilling data, adjusting parameters instantly to avoid costly errors and improve accuracy. By doing so, projects reach productive depths more efficiently and with less waste, cutting both costs and environmental impacts.

Predictive Maintenance and Efficiency Once geothermal plants are operational, AI helps maximize output by predicting equipment failures before they occur. Machine learning models analyze sensor data to spot anomalies, schedule maintenance proactively, and ensure steady heat and power delivery without unexpected downtimes.

AI for Grid Integration and Management Geothermal plants often operate alongside other renewables like wind and solar. AI optimizes grid integration by forecasting energy demand, balancing supply, and distributing geothermal output precisely when it’s needed most. This makes geothermal energy a reliable backbone for resilient, low-carbon grids.

Future Prospects for AI in Geothermal As data collection and modeling improve, AI’s role in scaling geothermal energy solutions will expand. From autonomous drilling rigs to real-time adaptive control systems, tomorrow’s geothermal plants will be smarter, cleaner, and more competitive with fossil fuels.

Conclusion The role of AI in scaling geothermal energy solutions is a game changer for the clean energy sector. By merging advanced analytics with sustainable resource extraction, AI accelerates geothermal’s journey from niche to mainstream. As we push for a low-carbon future, smarter heat powered by AI will help meet global energy needs while protecting the planet.

"The California state government has passed a landmark law that obligates technology companies to provide parts and manuals for repairing smartphones for seven years after their market release.

Senate Bill 244 passed 65-0 in the Assembly, and 38-0 in the Senate, and made California, the seat of so much of American technological hardware and software, the third state in the union to pass this so-called “right to repair” legislation.

On a more granular level, the bill guarantees consumers’ rights to replacement parts for three years’ time in the case of devices costing between $50 and $99, and seven years in the case of devices costing more than $100, with the bill retroactively affecting devices made and sold in 2021.

Similar laws have been passed in Minnesota and New York, but none with such a long-term period as California.

“Accessible, affordable, widely available repair benefits everyone,” said Kyle Wiens, the CEO of advocacy group iFixit, in a statement. “We’re especially thrilled to see this bill pass in the state where iFixit is headquartered, which also happens to be Big Tech’s backyard. Since Right to Repair can pass here, expect it to be on its way to a backyard near you.” ...

One of the reasons Wiens is cheering this on is because large manufacturers, from John Deere to Apple, have previously lobbied heavily against right-to-repair legislation for two reasons. One, it allows them to corner the repair and maintenance markets, and two, it [allegedly] protects their intellectual property and trade secrets from knock-offs or competition.

However, a byproduct of the difficulty of repairing modern electronics is that most people just throw them away.

...Wien added in the statement that he believes the California bill is a watershed that will cause a landslide of this legislation to come in the near future."
