Sustainable Tech
Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.

I want to get my kid a new Chromebook, but the naming convention is super fucked
I have no idea if one I'm looking at is the same as the one I bought, 1 year newer, last year, even older, who the fuck knows
2 core CPU before, 4 slower cores, 4 faster cores of a different architecture/company..
Why can't it just be like anything else. Thinkpad 420. Next year, 430. Next year, 440. Cool, but Chromebooks are a pain in the ass
