  2. Wow! #TIL from a customer review that some #Refrigerators now do not restart automatically after a power outage, requiring manual intervention. Which means your food warms up and rots until manual intervention arrives.

    Someone actually sells this, like it's a good idea for that "feature" to be an extra that is only in some models.

    Really infuriating response from the manufacturer, and I'm not even the afflicted person. As a SW dev, I find it particularly offensive that "engineers" signed off on this.

    Yet another bullet to dodge as a #consumer

    Levels of #EWaste soar in #Asia as gadgets become affordable, UN says

    Amount of electronic waste up 63% in five years, with China’s more than doubling, United Nations University report finds

    "Levels of #ElectronicWaste are rising sharply across #Asia, as higher incomes mean hundreds of millions of people can afford #smartphones and other #gadgets, according to a UN study.

    "The amount of e-waste in Asia has risen by 63% in five years, a report by United Nations University said, warning of the need to improve #recycling and disposal methods across the region to prevent serious #environmental and health consequences.

    "Ruediger Kuehr, the report’s co-author and head of UNU’s sustainable cycles programme, said: 'For many countries that already lack infrastructure for environmentally sound e-waste management, the increasing volumes are a cause for concern.'

    "For many years, China and other Asian countries have recycled discarded electronics from wealthier countries in rudimentary and often unsafe factories.

    "But the report said Asia has become a major source of e-waste due to increasingly affluent #consumers buying electronic items including #phones, #tablets, #refrigerators, #computers and #televisions.

    "China’s generation of e-waste more than doubled between 2010 and 2015, the period of the study, according to the report.

    "#HongKong generated the highest amount of e-waste in Asia in 2015, an average of 21.7kg (3.4st) per person.

    "#Singapore and #Taiwan created just over 19kg per person in 2015.

    "#Cambodia, #Vietnam and the #Philippines were among the lowest e-waste generators, with an average of about 1kg per person."

  8. @Pandamoanimum
    Our fridge gave out a few years ago - just over 3 years old - problem turned out to be the computer defrosting system. Repairman tried repairing it multiple times, including replacing computer, couldn't get it to work reliably. He said computer parts don't belong in refrigerators - a sentiment a friend who does computer hardware repair professionally agreed with.
    We got a "new" fridge that was a solidly built old one, all electric mechanical. No problems.

  9. "The Environmental Protection Agency is enforcing stricter limits on #hydrofluorocarbons, highly potent #GreenhouseGases used in #refrigerators and #AirConditioners that contribute to #GlobalWarming.

    The new rule announced Tuesday builds on a 10% reduction required by the end of this year. It requires a 40% overall reduction from 2024 through 2028."

  10. Ted Cruz Introduces a Bill to Prevent Air Fryers and Refrigerators from Spying on Us
    Move over microwaves, our air-fryers may be spying on us, well, at least according to none other, Senator Ted Cruz (Idiot-Texas).
