@liztai The other trick is to make a filter that puts anything with the word “unsubscribe”into a junk folder, marked as read. Just check it every once in a while to make sure nothing slipped through.

@liztai I just unsubscribe to basically every marketing email I get. Eventually you do actually get zero marketing emails.

@thomasfuchs No Mini Disc? I loved those.

@danprovost @gruber This makes me think of another truism that I’m inventing right now: “Everyone assumes battery tech will magically get way better over time, but it basically never does.”

IMO, we’ve hit a plateau in battery tech. Best we can do is make chips and radios more efficient to draw less power (and there are obvious hard limits there too.)

@gruber @danprovost Fair enough. I guess what I find is people tend to assume batteries improve like CPUs improve, a la Moore’s Law, which they decidedly do not.
