It's done intentionally. If you want a wired mouse, you can buy one of thousands of wired mice and use those. If you want a wireless mouse, it doesn't need to and shouldn't be plugged in while you are using it.

But don't worry, I'm sure the US with the current administration and the presumptive next administration bragging about how the US is the largest fossil fuel producer of all time also has nothing to do with it.

Right. A seismographic event like an Earthquake has a distinct and detectable difference from a nuclear test we know this because in the 60's we had plenty of examples of the later to compare to.

What's being done about extreme drought? New technology is helping to detect and respond to catastrophic wildfires sooner. In Spain, officials are utilizing 1,000-year-old technology to cope with a historic drought.

Replacing dirty energy sources with clean, technologically advanced, renewable energy sources can help cool our planet. We can all help by installing solar panels, choosing an electric vehicle for our next automobile purchase, and trading old HVAC systems for heat pumps.

Wow who would have thought that in order to help clean up the mess caused by Capitalism and consumption, all I need to do is wait for new technology and consume more. Probably nothing else that can or should be done by the Government of Brazil.

Oh shit. I totally missed the different label on the 3 otherwise identical pictures. Now I get it. I originally thought it was just literally 3 identical pictures.

Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being "woke." Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal "fight back."

Profit.

Don't listen to this guy at all.

As unnecessary consumption is one of the roots of suffering in our world, yea. I don't like sales culture. You don't need any "good deals" in your life, it's not going to make you happy. And your Pavlovian response to a fictitious holiday is the theme of the article.

I’d hardly call them “orders.”

Hmm...

I will shop for deals on both days

Yea...that's the point.

Only sheeple shop on Black Friday. An astute and correct observation.

Note the author doesn't use the word sheeple, but "black-friday" and "cyber-monday" he argues are top-down orders to the masses to consume, and he is absolutely correct.
