Ho yes. My phone is almost 9 year old. But I feel it significantly more than my laptop. The only reason it's usable is because I don't have google services and the only resource heavy app I run are two messaging apps. (5 years ago google maps was already struggling)
I wonder the difference in environmental impact between a 300€ laptop and a 2500€ one. Btw, the only time I've worked with a graphic designer, she had a 9yo thinkpad and was running open source software.
Professional work don't necessarily means having the new shiny gadget. Computer have been used for creative works in all fields since decades.
Smartphones are also fashion goods, so there are indeed other logics at play.
Imo the issues with smartphones are their limited reparability and general fragility. Also if your phone is not supported by a custom os you're quickly stuck update wise.
I think the main discussion here is: what added value does something like 3D Ray-tracing (or any new flashy tech) brings to the table? is it worth the human and environmental cost of upgrading your GPU or is it just a nice gimmick.
even that i'm not surz it's true. You can do creative work on an old laptop.
I edit -somewhat regularly- video or images on my 11 yo laptop.
4k editing doesn't work of course and export takes a while. It's just about accepting limitations and working with and around it.
Computers games have existed for decades.
There is no need for a recent computer to have fun, games don't become obsoletes over time.
The article doesn't discuss what a perspective such as "the survival of the fittest" implies and mostly validate it.
Moreover some point are a bit weak the academic says sth like "there are more asthma in western societies, I think those are people with weak immune system" . first he's has no empirical evidence second asthma is highly correlated with pollution I don't think it's an interresting indicator.
Is this reducing the quality of the entire human race's gene pool? Due to medical science, the strongest are no longer the only ones to survive today
Wow, that question check a few fascist boxes.
Not saying it shouldn't get asked. But at least the answer should tackles than dimension.
Edit: negation
