    There are exceptions of course but its mainly cities like the centre of tokyo where you have extreme density, money and incentive to live. Of course the other thing is skyscapers are cool af. I think the solution is the same as with cars and a lot of other things: moderation.

    The gain from building higher isnt linear. You have to use more space for elevators, re-enforcements, safety(fire for example), etc. The cost of the apartments go up drastically so most people who buy them dont live there, they just invest. Midrises are much better in all of these aspects. Also the materials needed for skyscrapers harder to mamufacture so with all of these they are just plain worse for the environment. Göterborg is a pretty good example of how midrises are better in almost every case.










  • Tbf the high ram usage wouldnt be a problem if it cached processes in it and used it to save battery but its just pure bloat. I think phones should have a coprocessor that handles notifications like what smartwatches do and that basically free battery. But android is also bloated because apps take a very long time to launch because of the jvm and java (thats what i heard at least, idk if this is actually why its slow) so everything is just left active. Also i think android strayed too far from linux, its basically just a worse version with a mobile ui and the support of a country sized company.



  • I was a big wearos fan, after trying out a garmin im never gonna use that crappy malware that has 1 day battery life. When you buy a garmin, of course youre paying for the hardware as well but one of the great things about it is that the software is also good. Thats why it can use s weak ass cpu and still practically do everything wearos does but with 1 month of battery. Also the connection between your phone is so much better. Amazing how pairing android with android is unstable and latency is high while the garmin bluetooth connection is snappy… also you can use garmin independently from a phone which is also really usefull. Overall just get a 600€ garmin and use it 5 times as long as any other smartwatch.



  • Tbh the best case would an open source fitness tracking watch. After some research the two hardest things are pulseox(even garmin watches are kinda inaccurate on ox) and battery life. I think its possible but most open source watches aim at the budget sector while a real fitness tracker sadly needs to be pretty expensive. It would be pretty cool if you had a bunch of sensors and you could just do anything with them(make custom workouts, sleep tracking, etc). If you think about it a smartwatch om hardware level is basically a nunch of sensors and the software just takes data, processes it and then spits out new data thats easier to understand.
