  • The tech producer in general, never cares about the environment, unless it’s for cost cutting, then they engage in virtue signalling to mask the cost cutting (i.e. not including chargers with a phone).

    Yet, when the conversation about e-waste comes up, the producer shifts the blame on the buyer for buying too many devices, instead of the producer designing them to become e-waste. If devices where built to be repairable/repurposable, or at least recycled, it would greatly affect e-waste, but they would risk lower earnings.

    In the few instances where a brand delivers a product that is both prestigious and (relatively) too good/lasting to effectively obsolete it at will, then they offer a turn-in service where you send back the old device and get a discount for the new one. This both busts fidelisation and raises prices on the used market, encouraging buying the new device. (I.e. iPhones, vorwerk vacuums).

    Always mind the pattern. You will be less manipulatable.






  • PEC is usually not free (neither is fax, but a landline is more common than PEC). But also, I think it’s not accepted everywhere. Maybe you can also use posta raccomandata. But for that you must go to the post office in person and wait in line with other 10 pensioners, and it also costs, so you are probably better off just handing the document in person.



  • Probably Italy. All institutions and many households still have a working but unused fax line in Italy (which most photocopiers still support). Many documents can only be transferred either in person or by fax.

    We are not savages, we have low cost multi-gigabit optic-fiber household connections available in the majority of cities. Our bureaucracy is just anachronistic.




  • I usually do the same as you, but sometimes I try to follow the “regular” progression a bit more, so I didn’t rush to get the pale nails before.

    I had to get it because I was loosing my mind. And imagine the rage when after reaching the top I discovered that in one of my grip-less attempts I failed at literally the last jump. I try to delay buying tools because they are expensive, and I don’t really like most of them.

    I only have the green Prince’s heart, but I want all four. Though I have literally just beaten Seth.


  • I finally fucking did it! What made the difference was: using pale nails, a lot, mostly for flying shrimps; ascendant’s grip for when they remove the floor and you have to shoot at flying enemies; reaper’s crest; dumping tacks where the alitas spawns in the third gauntlet. I didn’t kill Khann on the very first attempt right after the gauntlet, but I did it on the second.

    Sidenote, I decided to get pale nails for this fight so I went up the cradle, but once there I told myself “now that we are here let’s just finish the Mr Mushroom thing” only to discover the Path of Regular Discomfort. Where I got stuck once again, until I swallowed my pride and went back to buy the ascendant’s grip. Which turned out to be a life saver for Khann.

    Side sidenote: reaper’s crest is amazing against the pinstress. It’s like, made specifically for that fight.

    Side side sidenote: I imagine you are not that interested in my quest. But I just wanted to write this somewhere.

    Hollow knight players: this character has a female voice, and a different character says they are “sisters”, other translations they use feminine when referring to them, but the game technically never says it’s female, so we use “they” pronouns

    Many such cases

    Also HK players: this character is gay and Irish. So I’ll display his heart on a bookshelf
