Which is amazing since windows 11 is full of mentions of green energy, lowering energy consumption and asking you to lower screen brightness to lower carbon emissions. Total green washing when you consider the gigantic amounts of ewaste that arbitrary cut off date will lead to. It's just funny tbh, like I get it's most likely very different teams working on those things but it's tone deaf at best.

But hey at least the OS has a revolutionary new green technology called... Battery saving mode!

This is what most of the consumer facing eco trends feel like.

Kool-aid Jammers are my latest laugh. Plastic pouch. Plastic straw wrapper. Paper straw.

Right, the straw was the enemy here?

The worst part is that it is clearly cargo culting. What consumer suddenly buys kool aid they never bought before because it says "paper straw now!" on the packaging?

I for one think plastic straws taste bad.

You prefer the taste of wet paper and a little wax, as it falls apart in your mouth?

Depends on how fast you finish your drinks but it's fine usually. I guess I've never seen them for milk tea.
