Comments by "André" (@Andre-qo5ek) on "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" channel.

  1. um... wrong.. if their products get to 100% recyclable then repair is not needed. if you want repairable products, apple is just not for your. their model is centralized... you are simply looking for a different product. i agree with you things ought to be repairable. this, is not that fight though.

  2. repairable is not their model though.... apple also " makes is unreasonably difficult to {eat } their devices. So no, they aren’t making a difference {in food sustainability}" your complaint about repairability is correct but your barking up the wrong tree... if you want a product that is repairable, you are not getting it from apple... go to a different company... or ... we have to collectedly get behind Louis Rossmann to 1) get more right-to-repair legislation passed 2) start a company that makes high quality repairable products.

  3. "Why This Ultra Cheap Battery Breakthrough Matters" ... is not clickbait.. it is a breakthrough for a production method and material for a possible 50% reduction in cost... it matters becasue it would reduce the cost by half. you do realize how SLOOOOW material science , development, production, is ..... right? clearly you do not... imagine saying this about space travel. " don't show me rock launched until we have a fully sustainable colony on mars" is what you sound like.

  4.  @bigfishoutofwater3135  sure actually owning your stuff is important. this video is not about that. ( "complete ownership" also starts bringing in the issue of warranty and what to do with a products at end of life ... but that's all an aside) "100% recyclable still takes a bunch of energy." ... sure... energy is part of production. if you are asking for NOT producing stuff.. i agree with you. i very much believe in degrowth. but that is not the mainstream. production is not going anywhere without a a radical paradigm shift.. so i'll take the reform to 100% recyclable while the paradigm shift gets worked on. in short: i am not sure what the point of your comment actually is regarding this video.....

  5.  @salticidae1.618  how are you people so upset about this? a legit question. ----- your stated complaint was about the amount of natural gas? that is enough to leave a channel? what were you getting from this channel before this? ---- this channel is not revolutionary, is not anti capitalist, not a promoter of the right-to-repair... it is a sustainable tech channel. this video is one of the most benign forms of marketing for BMW and Apple. no shilling for the new Iphone was done.. or any other product for that matter. it was a tech piece about production technology. that is ever so slightly better than other companies that raw dog the environment harder. ---- this is the nonsense kind of boycotting that gets us nowhere, IMO. you're not boycotting or hurting apple by unsubscribing from this channel. let's say EVERY person unsubscribes... then we have one less sustainability channel on the internet... good ... job ?

  6. soooo... you are asking him to not post?

  7. i am so confused by this comment. this is a sustainability in tech channel.... of course he will partner with a tech company on their sustainability. no one complains when he interviews a solar cell company, or a battery company, or a materials company.... only when he collaborated with a company that you guys are brand familiar with.

  8. this video is not about that....

  9. question... do you have those stats available? what is defined as Ewaste ? how much comes from their factories vs the consumer? i agree with Ewaste being bad, but i am looking for specificity as to where it is coming from.

  10.  @IKetoth  the video mentioned how they are working on making their products more recyclable. and their factories are working on recycling resources like water and heat. if you do not want to discard there product after 2 years. ... dont buy the product. the waste is on consumes as long as consumers are buying. if apple keeps making stuff people that are not buying, then the ewaste is on them.

  11.  @SouravTechLabs  the closing statement to my comment was "i agree with you things ought to be repairable. this, is not that fight though." so please keep everything in context. repair ALSO takes energy... obsolescence .. again.. is not the topic of this video... and yeah.. of course Apple is not doing this to save the world.. they are doing it for profit efficiency. "The ability to repair is the key to be eco-friendly." if you want to get pedantic... DE GROWTH ,, ANTI CONSUMPTION is eco-friendly. not even repair... but again.. this video is not about that. ------ jsut stick to the topic ... the topic is resource efficiency in manufacturing ........ nothing more nothing less. ---- lets try on to analogy do you not support the efforts to make recyclable products? YOU are a recyclable product.... do you self repair using vitamins, food water? at end of life - do you support cremation, embalming, just being buried? life takes energy, death takes energy... but wouldn't it be great if we minimized our energy take, and maximized our energy output? maximized what we gave back at end of life?

  12.  @SytorvianProductions  i would love for you to be ALF or ELF... but i would guess you are not.... i would love to see the resurrection of ELF and ALF..... people who were serious for change.

  13.  @SytorvianProductions  luddites and neo-luddites have a point... anarcho-primitivists are nuts... solar punk is a great middle. even the solarpunks need manufacturing that ... by the nature of research and development ...needs time to go from resource wasteful to a more refined process. absolutely boycott apple and their consumer unfriendly practices. this channel is not about the sins of a corporation though, it is about technology.

  14.  @HighFlyActionGuy  so you think the entire past of a person or entity should speak for their present actions? can you not separate the past from the present? if you care so strongly about apple destroying our planet, and seemingly will not accept any steps to bettering themselves... what are you doing to stop Apple? if you do nothing... by your own logic.... you are complicit. lets play with a few other things from your position... lets play the Reductio ad absurdum game. the premise is that "once a badguy always a badguy" -immediate death sentence for all crime since criminals can not reform - might as well put down kids that fail school since they will jsut be a drain on the planet. - founding fathers had slaves, time to throw away the country - science branched from alchemy... well that makes it all trash

  15.  @HighFlyActionGuy  "targeting matt" is fine... marketing is going to market.... you need to change your framing on marketing... if something is marketed we can hole THEM accountable to it. jsut make sure not to fall for the propaganda aspects of it. consumers have given up hope and power to control the corps... THAT paradigm has to change.

  16.  @HighFlyActionGuy  we certainly do. i see one were individuals have control over there consumption, can hold corporations accountable to their word by law, consumption choices and by force. reform is better than complaining. building what we want in the world is even better; either by reform or from scratch. essentially calling Matt a sell out resolves nothing when his collaboration is completely topical. he did not say to by apple products. it was a behind the scenes of ways a company was advancing their own systems to be less wasteful. i appreciated your thoughts on it all regardless. thanks. have a good one.

  17.  @HighFlyActionGuy  yes, under the idea of boycott, sure ... boycotting Matt is an option. i don't find him or his channel to be a problem though. he is reporting on what Apple is doing. it is no different than an article in a trade magazine. Matt is not in the business of production. i am very much for the freedom of information.

  18.  @GreyTaube  this video very much reported on the technology Apple is doing in recycling resources. it was not an exposé to dethrone Apple. it wasn't a hit piece like you seem to be asking for. it was a narrow report on specific aspects of manufacturing. if you think this was the "best light possible." for the company... you bought into the propaganda , the facade, the presentation Apple and BMW wanted to put out there. ---- "True, it is misinformation by simply giving out one side of the story, but that is still misinformation." ... um ... i think you typed and meant "True, it is [not] misinformation by simply giving out one side of the story" .... .. that is correct it is NOT misinformation .... it is just not a a full exposé . "but that is still misinformation" is like saying a legislator proposing a bill is "misinformation" because it hasn't been voted on yet... it is a silly argument. - this channel is not a hit piece channel. it is very optimistic. what was insane about this video? it was definitely sanitized by the corp, sure.. that's doing business with these companies. they are not going to let you into the factory and then insult them.

  19. what is you definition of "destroy or save the physical planet" ? when people talk about environmental impact they are talking about an environment suitable for human life... not the continental plates. of course life on the planet can alter the planet in such a way as to upheave the environment..... bacteria photo synthesizers changed the entire composition of the atmosphere to be oxygen rich. ( That Time Oxygen Almost Killed Everything- PBS Eons ) i am not seeing you point at all. feel free to expand what you were trying to say.

  20. this channel has so many trolls. trolls from all sides too... it is jsut crazy. the anti-intellectual anti-science folks are so vocal on all sides. it is pretty terrible. anarco-primitivists / neo-feudal techno bros / theocratic handmaids - they all join hands here to complain about science... it is disappointing.

  21. ​ @IKetoth  "" "what will happen to this product after my use case" is very low on most people's priorities when it comes to purchasing anything"" yup... that is a paradigm problem with consumers... you know... the people that buy the products. and i agree with highly regulating ALL business. i am also very much for the right-to-repair. unfortunately, businesses right now only speak in one language, profit. the legal way to stop a company from doing something is making it less profitable. you can not expect a badguy to do the goodguy thing. the best thing to expect is for them to do the profitable thing via market demands. i am all for someone taking the monkey wrench approach. but feel free to provide a thought on how we, the lowley powerless, have power .... because from my book it is 1) legislation( which we do not have much power in) 2) consumption ( we have 99% control of) 3) wrenches ( which is not the socially acceptable way) we the people need to take all the responsibility we can, and demonstrate what we want. those are my suggestions... so what is your alternative?

  22. modular synthesizers .... analog computer never REALLY went away. like all tech, it just has its ebbs and flows.

  23. @ eating your words yet? OP called you to watch their video "Is This Solid State Battery REALLY Solid State?" ...

  24.  @michaelmcnally9737  yup... that is an issue with proprietary stuff... that is why IP is not great. but lets not get into the weeds about: ' I have an old {diesel car} that won't let me {plug it into my electric } so now it's a useless box of perfectly good {car parts}.' you had the appltv in the past for a reason back then, and now it does not serve that purpose. - the question is , what do you suggest instead... reasonable things that can be done? not utopian thinking.

  25. I've been wanting this for a while. i am not sure as to why that price is so much though.....

  26.  @SytorvianProductions  well if you want to get particular...... "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. " was a slogan pushed on CONSUMERS by the corporations to offload their responsibility.... i did not see this as gushing about apple as a corporation... it was about very specific parts of their production. heat management, energy consumption, automation that allows a production line to produce multiple types of vehicles instead of needed entirely separate lines for different vehicles, the recycling of specific parts. if you think "just shifting the waste onto the consumer." is a NEW thing... you have been asleep at the wheel. - fundamentally waste is on the consumer because we consume product and excrete waste. people do not like that concept so they instead blame corps for other kinds of waste. and yes corps produce a lot of waste.... but for what? profit... profit from who? us. corps absolute hold a lot of responsibility.. .but until individuals acknowledge there part in it and start ......1) consuming less / more ethically 2) get legislation on ALL business 3) hoping corps responsible with lawsuits, boycotts 4) take the wrench to the corps..... nothing is going to change. this video is a reform video not a revolutionary video. of course apple and bmw insisted on a positive spin... they wouldn't let him in if he was there to denounce them.

  29. for the nay sayers.... provide a viable alternative. yes consumerism is rampant. guess what... that is a consumer problem. capitalism , marketing, mass production, is a huge problem ... and the bad guy is not going to become the good guy without a reason. and when a corp tries to get more sustainable, the Left still complains but does not institute their alternative.

  30. yes , please review balcony solar. where i am, i am told my house roof warranty will be void if i install solar. something that will not void roof would be amazing. reviewing the battle between roof warranty, home insurance, and solar installation would be a topic i am very interested in.

  31. when are we going to get solar trees>? that is to say . a carbon capture core with solar generation leaves with a geothermal root system with a mycelium communication net
