The phone or computer you’re reading this on may not be long for this world. Maybe you’ll drop it in water, or your dog will make a chew toy of it, or it’ll reach obsolescence. If you can’t repair it and have to discard it, the device will become e-waste, joining an alarmingly large mountain of defunct TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, cameras, routers, electric toothbrushes, headphones. This is “electrical and electronic equipment,” aka EEE—anything with a plug or battery. It’s increasingly out of control.

As economies develop and the consumerist lifestyle spreads around the world, e-waste has turned into a full-blown environmental crisis. People living in high-income countries own, on average, 109 EEE devices per capita, while those in low-income nations have just four. A new UN report finds that in 2022, humanity churned out 137 billion pounds of e-waste—more than 17 pounds for every person on Earth—and recycled less than a quarter of it.

That also represents about $62 billion worth of recoverable materials, like iron, copper, and gold, hitting e-waste landfills each year. At this pace, e-waste will grow by 33 percent by 2030, while the recycling rate could decline to 20 percent. (You can see this growth in the graph below: purple is EEE on the market, black is e-waste, and green is what gets recycled.)

“What was really alarming to me is that the speed at which this is growing is much quicker than the speed that e-waste is properly collected and recycled,” says Kees Baldé, a senior scientific specialist at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research and lead author of the report. “We just consume way too much, and we dispose of things way too quickly. We buy things we may not even need, because it's just very cheap. And also these products are not designed to be repaired.”

Humanity has to quickly bump up those recycling rates, the report stresses. In the first pie chart below, you can see the significant amount of metals we could be saving, mostly iron (chemical symbol Fe, in light gray), along with aluminum (Al, in dark gray), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni). Other EEE metals include zinc, tin, and antimony. Overall, the report found that in 2022, generated e-waste contained 68 billion pounds of metal.

E-waste is a complex thing to break down: A washing machine is made of totally different components than a TV. And even for product categories, not only do different brands use different manufacturing processes, but even different models within those brands vary significantly. A new washing machine has way more sensors and other electronics than one built 30 years ago.

Complicating matters even further, e-waste can contain hazardous materials, like cobalt, flame retardants, and lead. The report found that each year, improperly processed e-waste releases more than 125,000 pounds of mercury alone, imperiling the health of humans and other animals. “Electronic waste is an extremely complex waste stream,” says Vanessa Gray, head of the Environment and Emergency Telecommunications Division at the UN’s International Telecommunication Union and an author of the report. “You have a lot of value in electronic waste, but you also have a lot of toxic materials that are dangerous to the environment.”

That makes recycling e-waste a dangerous occupation. In low- and middle-income countries, informal e-waste recyclers might go door-to-door collecting the stuff. To extract valuable metals, they melt down components without proper safety equipment, poisoning themselves and the environment. The new report notes that in total, 7.3 billion pounds of e-waste is shipped uncontrolled globally, meaning its ultimate management is unknown and likely not done in an environmentally friendly way. Of that, high-income countries shipped 1.8 billion pounds to low- and middle-income countries in 2022, swamping them with dangerous materials.

High-income countries have some of this informal recycling, but they also have formal facilities where e-waste is sorted and safely broken down. Europe, for example, has fairly high formal e-waste recycling rates, at about 43 percent. But globally, recycling is happening nowhere near enough to keep up with the year-over-year growth of the waste. Instead of properly mining EEE for metals, humanity keeps mining more ore out of the ground.

Still, the report found that even the small amount of e-waste that currently gets recycled avoided the mining of 2 trillion pounds of ore for virgin metal in 2022. (It takes a lot of ore to produce a little bit of metal.) The more metals we can recycle from e-waste, the less mining we’ll need to support the proliferation of gadgets. That would in turn avoid the greenhouse gases from such mining operations, plus losses of biodiversity.

The complexity of e-waste, though, makes it expensive to process. As the chart above shows, even an ambitious scenario of a formal e-waste collection rate in 2030 is 44 percent. “There is no business case for companies to just collect e-waste and to make a profit out of this in a sustainable manner,” says Baldé. “They can only survive if there is legislation in place which is also compensating them.”

The report notes that 81 countries have e-waste policies on the books, and of those, 67 have provisions regarding extended producer responsibility, or EPR. This involves fees paid by manufacturers of EEE that would go toward e-waste management.

Of course, people could also stop throwing so many devices away in the first place, something right-to-repair advocates have spent years fighting for. Batteries, for instance, lose capacity after a certain number of charge cycles. If a phone can’t hold a charge all day anymore, customers should be able to swap in a new battery. “Manufacturers shouldn't be able to put artificial limitations on that ability,” says Elizabeth Chamberlain, director of sustainability at iFixit, which provides repair guides and tools. That includes limiting access to parts and documentation. “Repair is a harm-reduction strategy. It's not the be-all-end-all solution, but it's one of many things we need to do as a global society to slow down the rate at which we're demanding things of the planet.”

At the core of the e-waste crisis is the demand: A growing human population needs phones to communicate and fridges to keep food safe and heat pumps to stay comfortable indoors. So first and foremost we need high-quality products that don’t immediately break down, but also the right to repair when they do. And what absolutely can’t be fixed needs to move through a safe, robust e-waste recycling system. “We are consuming so much,” says Baldé, “we cannot really recycle our way out of the problem.”

Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Overview

 Machine Learning (ML) is a subfield of synthetic intelligence (AI) that offers structures with the capacity to robotically examine and enhance from revel in without being explicitly programmed. Instead of using a fixed set of guidelines or commands, device studying algorithms perceive styles in facts and use the ones styles to make predictions or decisions. Over the beyond decade, ML has transformed how we have interaction with generation, touching nearly each aspect of our every day lives — from personalised recommendations on streaming services to actual-time fraud detection in banking.

Machine learning algorithms

What is Machine Learning?

At its center, gadget learning entails feeding facts right into a pc algorithm that allows the gadget to adjust its parameters and improve its overall performance on a project through the years. The more statistics the machine sees, the better it usually turns into. This is corresponding to how humans study — through trial, error, and revel in.

Arthur Samuel, a pioneer within the discipline, defined gadget gaining knowledge of in 1959 as “a discipline of take a look at that offers computers the capability to study without being explicitly programmed.” Today, ML is a critical technology powering a huge array of packages in enterprise, healthcare, science, and enjoyment.

Types of Machine Learning

Machine studying can be broadly categorised into 4 major categories:

1. Supervised Learning

 For example, in a spam electronic mail detection device, emails are classified as "spam" or "no longer unsolicited mail," and the algorithm learns to classify new emails for this reason.

Common algorithms include:

Linear Regression

Logistic Regression

Support Vector Machines (SVM)

Decision Trees

Random Forests

Neural Networks

2. Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised mastering offers with unlabeled information. Clustering and association are commonplace obligations on this class.

Key strategies encompass:

K-Means Clustering

Hierarchical Clustering

Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Autoencoders

three. Semi-Supervised Learning

It is specifically beneficial when acquiring categorised data is highly-priced or time-consuming, as in scientific diagnosis.

Popular algorithms encompass:

Q-Learning

Deep Q-Networks (DQN)

Policy Gradient Methods

Key Components of Machine Learning Systems

1. Data

Data is the muse of any machine learning version. The pleasant and quantity of the facts directly effect the performance of the version. Preprocessing — consisting of cleansing, normalization, and transformation — is vital to make sure beneficial insights can be extracted.

2. Features

 Feature engineering, the technique of selecting and reworking variables to enhance model accuracy, is one of the most important steps within the ML workflow.

Three. Algorithms

Algorithms define the rules and mathematical fashions that help machines study from information. Choosing the proper set of rules relies upon at the trouble, the records, and the desired accuracy and interpretability.

4. Model Evaluation

Models are evaluated the use of numerous metrics along with accuracy, precision, consider, F1-score (for class), or RMSE and R² (for regression). Cross-validation enables check how nicely a model generalizes to unseen statistics.

Applications of Machine Learning

Machine getting to know is now deeply incorporated into severa domain names, together with:

1. Healthcare

ML is used for disorder prognosis, drug discovery, customized medicinal drug, and clinical imaging. Algorithms assist locate situations like cancer and diabetes from clinical facts and scans.

2. Finance

Challenges in Machine Learning

Despite its rapid development, machine mastering still faces numerous demanding situations:

1. Data Quality and Quantity

Accessing fantastic, categorised statistics is often a bottleneck. Incomplete, imbalanced, or biased datasets can cause misguided fashions.

2. Overfitting and Underfitting

Overfitting occurs when the model learns the education statistics too nicely and fails to generalize. 

Three. Interpretability

Many modern fashions, specifically deep neural networks, act as "black boxes," making it tough to recognize how predictions are made — a concern in excessive-stakes regions like healthcare and law.

4. Ethical and Fairness Issues

Algorithms can inadvertently study and enlarge biases gift inside the training facts. Ensuring equity, transparency, and duty in ML structures is a growing area of studies.

5. Security

Adversarial assaults — in which small changes to enter information can fool ML models — present critical dangers, especially in applications like facial reputation and autonomous riding.

Future of Machine Learning

The destiny of system studying is each interesting and complicated. Some promising instructions consist of:

1. Explainable AI (XAI)

Efforts are underway to make ML models greater obvious and understandable, allowing customers to believe and interpret decisions made through algorithms.

2. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML)

AutoML aims to automate the stop-to-cease manner of applying ML to real-world issues, making it extra reachable to non-professionals.

3. Federated Learning

This approach permits fashions to gain knowledge of across a couple of gadgets or servers with out sharing uncooked records, enhancing privateness and efficiency.

4. Edge ML

Deploying device mastering models on side devices like smartphones and IoT devices permits real-time processing with reduced latency and value.

Five. Integration with Other Technologies

ML will maintain to converge with fields like blockchain, quantum computing, and augmented fact, growing new opportunities and challenges.

Black Friday Shopping Safety... Best advice? Stay home.

The deals aren't that good this year anyway. "The three worst categories for sales this Black Friday are said to computers & phones, consumer electronics and — at the bottom — furniture, according to the report."

[the-bloody-sadist]

Hi, it's been a while - I haven't looked at anything bsd related in a while (besides just reading the last chapter of the sinner epilogue) because it's not one of my current fixations, but I wondered if I could hear more from you about emotions? Recently my brain has been rotten by a love of computers and robots and maths and physics and I have been obsessively consuming all versions of I have no mouth and I must scream (have you heard of it? If not, ihnmaims is a short sci-fi story written by Harlan Ellison about an AI, AM, torturing the last 5 humans). The relationship between Ted and AM is fascinating to me, especially in terms of what 'emotions' AM feels towards him, and it reminded me of something that I think you wrote about how intertwined hate and love are - how hate is to care enough about a person to want their suffering and pain (I'm not entirely sure if that was you, forgive me if I'm wrong-). I'll spare you my ramblings about the story itself unless you are interested in hearing more, but I am very curious about your perspective on a being who was created for war, gained sentience and immense power and intelligence but will never be free, will never belong, will never play Mozart on the ivory keys of a fortepiano... a being who cannot feel in a way we can conceive but is driven by hatred, who craves humanity or release yet cannot die, who has no mouth but must scream.

There is a point where AM invades Ted's mind, ramming The Hate Monologue in the form of a steel pillar into his mind - some of the lines in this section make me go a little bit feral - "AM touched me in every way I had ever been touched, and devised new ways, at his leisure, there inside my mind."

It's incredibly intrusive, and for Ted there is no escape from AM - it's physical machinery covers the entire planet and the humans live within it, it's 'belly slaves'. As AM cannot die it keeps them alive, pretty much immortal (but not indestructible) and in the end, Ted too has no mouth though he must scream.

It's a fascinating mix of hatred, envy, deification, love (?), hope, resignation, invasion, co-dependence, wires and viscera that can never mix or understand each other but are the same in every way.

Apologies for the rambling infodump (especially if you have already read it/have absolutely no interest in this sort of thing - this isn't a rec, just my putrefied brain matter leaking into your ask box), I should really be asleep right now so I would not be surprised if this is entirely incomprehensible.... I just want to study them under an electron microscope.... It's a very grim story, with a powerful sense of the indomitable human spirit but very grim nonetheless. The hyperfixation is hyperfixating....

Anyway I should shut up, and I would love to hear your thoughts (I don't even know what I was intending this ask to be .. I can't remember now but I don't think it was .. this..) and thank you for putting up with this mess of a message- hope you have a lovely day/night!

- 🪼

P.S. oh yes! I loved the last chapter of sinner's epilogue- your writing never fails pluck my heartstrings like.. a very strange surgeon (?)(I'm so sorry I am very tired)(I have no brain and I must sleep...) I adore how you write Fyodor's experience of emotion and (as always) Dazai's fear and panic-

Okay listen, I don't plan to get into this story (I've watched essay videos on it so I do know about it, at least), but I respect how much time you took describing this to me in my asks box, so I'm putting it out for anyone else who might find it cool!

Despite my love for psychological trauma, some stories are a certain flavor that I know I shouldn't get into, and IHNMAIMS belongs in that category. Pretty sure if I read it it'll haunt me for the rest of my life and I'll have to deal with a big depressive episode over it for the weeks after, WHICH IS NEVER FUN.

This and other reasons are why I never read A Little Life, and then I learned that I dodged a bullet by putting the book down on the first instance of Jude's cutting episodes, BECAUSE OH MY GOD DUDE THAT STORY DID NOT HANDLE IT THE WAY I NEEDED IT TO BE HANDLED AND I COULD SMELL WHERE THE STORY WAS GONNA GO WITH IT AND TAPPED OUT. I won't get into the frustration of A Little Life but IHNMAIMS felt like it would be that same level of too much grim, not enough plot?? for me. Does that make sense? Too much bad happening just feels like dragging myself through mud without reason, making myself miserable by enduring hours of hurt-no-comfort LMAO

Regardless, thanks for talking to me about it! I knew most of the details of the story, but it was entertaining to read your description of it--I'm glad you find such interest in the story!

ALSO THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS ON THE NEWEST SINNER EPILOGUE, I'M ACTUALLY WRITING YET ANOTHER ONE CURRENTLY...AHAHA....THEY NEVER STOP....we'll see how long it takes me since my writing has been out of touch with me for a while, but fingers crossed! <3

E-Waste Laws and Compliance: What Businesses in India Must Know

With the rapid growth of technology and increased consumer demand for electronics, India is witnessing an alarming rise in electronic waste (e-waste). According to the Global E-Waste Monitor, India generated over 1.6 million tonnes of e-waste in a single year, making it one of the top e-waste-producing countries in the world. To address this growing challenge, the Indian government has introduced a well-defined legal framework for e waste management, which businesses must comply with to ensure environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence.

This article outlines the key e-waste laws in India and provides guidance for companies on how to stay compliant and contribute to sustainable waste practices.

What is E-Waste?

E-waste refers to discarded electronic devices and components such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, batteries, and other gadgets. These products often contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can harm the environment and human health if not handled properly.

Effective e waste management involves the collection, storage, transportation, dismantling, recycling, and safe disposal of such electronic waste through authorized channels.

Overview of E-Waste Laws in India

India introduced its first E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules in 2011. These were revised in 2016 and most recently in 2022, under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which came into force on April 1, 2023.

Key Highlights of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022:

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Producers of electronic equipment are legally obligated to ensure the proper collection, recycling, and disposal of e-waste generated from their products after end-of-life. They must register on the EPR Portal maintained by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

Targets and Recycling Obligations: Producers must meet annual e-waste recycling targets (ranging from 20% to 70%, depending on the year and category of equipment). These targets are to be met through partnerships with certified recyclers.

Authorized Recyclers and Dismantlers: Only entities with proper authorization from the CPCB or State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) are permitted to recycle or dismantle e-waste. Unauthorized operations are punishable under the Environment Protection Act.

Prohibition on Informal Recycling: Informal or unscientific handling of e-waste is prohibited. Businesses must ensure their e-waste is only processed by authorized channels to avoid legal liabilities and environmental risks.

Reporting and Record-Keeping: Registered entities must submit annual compliance reports through the EPR portal, detailing the quantity of e-waste collected, recycled, and disposed of responsibly.

Who Must Comply?

The E-Waste Rules apply to a wide range of stakeholders:

Producers and Manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)

Importers and Distributors of electronics

Bulk Consumers such as corporate offices, government departments, schools, and hospitals

Refurbishers and Recyclers

Retailers and E-commerce Platforms

If your business deals with the sale, use, or handling of electronic devices, compliance is mandatory.

How Can Businesses Stay Compliant?

Register on the CPCB’s EPR Portal: Producers and bulk consumers must register online to obtain an EPR authorization.

Partner with Certified Recyclers: Work with government-authorized e-waste recyclers who provide documentation of proper waste handling and disposal.

Maintain Clear Records: Keep detailed records of e-waste generation, storage, transportation, and recycling, which are required during inspections and audits.

Employee Awareness and Internal Policies: Train employees on e-waste segregation and create internal SOPs for safe disposal of obsolete equipment.

Labeling and Consumer Awareness: Businesses must clearly label their electronic products with e-waste symbols and educate consumers on disposal options.

Conclusion

With environmental sustainability taking center stage, businesses in India must take a proactive approach to e waste management. Compliance is not just a legal requirement but also a step toward corporate responsibility and long-term operational resilience.

By understanding the latest E-Waste (Management) Rules and integrating them into their operations, businesses can contribute meaningfully to India’s green future while avoiding regulatory penalties.

Power Consumption Testing

Power consumption testing is a crucial method because it checks how much electricity a product uses during operation. This evaluation methodology helps manufacturers identify and reduce the excess energy use of their products. A team of testers uses equipment such as power meters and watt-hour meters to ensure efficient operations. Products such as refrigerators, fans, televisions, and computers have to undergo this mechanical testing. 

This step helps product manufacturers know the electricity their product uses. In television testing, trained experts can turn on your TV and connect it to an electricity meter to measure its energy consumption. This approach helps you know its power consumption. You can make the products more energy-efficient and cost-saving for users.

Standby Power Testing

Standby power testing is another type of energy efficiency testing to check how much electricity a product uses when it is off but still plugged in. Testers use tools like a power meter or wattmeter to measure standby energy use. Products like TVs, microwaves, chargers, and set-top boxes are required for this testing. For example, in household appliances testing, a team of testers check your commercial kitchen equipment. They can plug the product in and turn it off. The meter shows its power consumption. This helps create appliances that save energy even when not in use.

Load Testing

Load testing in energy efficiency is a crucial method to check how a product uses electricity under different working loads. For example, if you are a manufacturer of air conditioners and you connect with a testing laboratory. Their team can test your AC at full and half cooling levels. Tools like power meters, load simulators, and data loggers are used. You can test your fans, heaters, pumps, and other products. Load testing enables manufacturers to measure energy usage in high and low settings. This ensures that the product remains efficient in all working conditions.

Thermal Efficiency Testing

Thermal efficiency testing is an important type of energy efficiency testing that checks how well a product converts energy into heat without wasting it. Experts use equipment such as thermal sensors, data loggers, and infrared cameras. That helps them get accurate results with minimal errors.

Electric water heater testing is essential to check how well your product converts heat into energy without wasting it. For example, a geyser is tested to see how quickly it heats water and how much energy it wastes as heat. This helps manufacturers to produce reliable and quality water heaters for their target consumers.

Efficiency Rating Testing

Efficiency rating testing involves checking how much energy a product uses and giving it a star rating (from 1 star to 5 stars). This device is designed for use with devices such as electricity meters, load testers, and energy analyzers. Many products like refrigerators, air conditioners, fans, and washing machines must go through this test.

For example, a refrigerator is periodically tested for its electricity usage, and based on the results, it is given a rating. This is how it is made efficient and efficient in using electricity. A 1-star electrical product means that it consumes high electricity while working poorly. On the other hand, 5-star electrical products offer perfect functioning, minimal power usage, and high performance.

Bottom Line

Energy efficiency tests are designed to develop high-quality and energy-efficient products. This supports the efforts of manufacturers, importers, and even retailers. Energy efficiency testing detects any problems or defects in your product and lets you rework them before selling it in the market. This evaluation method is ideal for small and large manufacturers who build electric products. They can meet local and global compliance with regulations. Connecting with a testing laboratory provides you with a comprehensive report after in-depth testing. Their support helps you establish a reputation and trust in the market.
