Renewable Energy and National Security

The wind and the sun don’t need to transit the Strait of Hormuz
Paul Krugman:
"trump’s attack on Iran has made a strong new case for renewable energy.
There is another reason for nations to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels: security. In a dangerous world, it’s infinitely safer to rely on the sun and the wind than to depend on fossil fuels that must be transported long distances, from nations that are untrustworthy, often exploitative and located in regions that frequently devolve into war zones."

Lenovo’s New T-Series ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability
fr.ifixit.com · 24 people
Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo’s new T-series business laptops, which earned our highest honor with a 10/10 repairability score.
"That’s why Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads are such a big deal: the new T14 Gen 7 and T16 Gen 5 score an eye-popping 10 out of 10 on our repairability scale."
The sub text is that tech companies CAN make repairable products.
So remember that if your computer is basically useless after a couple of years, that's definitely on purpose.
