I think people in general should think about what they are about to posting an lpt. Most are not lpt's. Some times they really only help some people leaving a lot of people seeing the advice as worthless.
It's kind of like telling people next time they loose their phone to stand in the middle of the room and say hey google say the abc's to find their phone. This only helps people with android and hey Google turned on sonic works with the screen off. It's an android user tup, but not a life pro tip.

Reply to comment by pioneertele in LPT: If your microwave dies, donate the glass tray before throwing out the appliance. Someone has broken theirs and will love finding it at a thrift store. by pioneertele
Prime.. these trays are so cheap and easy to get any more. Here is a life pro tip for you. Whenever you donate something, consider any garbage you donate gets thrown away and the organization has to pay to get rid of the trash. You add needless cost to something that is supposed to be charity.
It's the same thing with "clothing" drop boxes. It says right on every box, "clothing only" yet people leave baby toys, high chairs, he'll I have seen old paint cans. They do nothing with anything other than the clothes. Everything else has to go in the trash. So again the charitable organization has to pay to get rid of other people's trash they should have thrown away in the first place.
People often feel like it's a waste to throw it away, and feel like they are helping by donating it, but your causimg cost to the organization and taking away resources which could be used to actually help people.
Then there is recycling. There is so much plastic that cannot be recycled. People look at the 3 arrow symbol with a number and thing that means recyclable. No. The plastics industry made their own symbol that looks like a recycling symbol with a number which only designates the type of plastic. They did this so people think they are buying recyclable plastic when they may not be. My wife would put every kind of plastic in the recyclables. I would keep pulling out the stuff they don't recycle. And she would say, but it has the recycle symbol and she would say she feels like she is putting plastic into the land fill if she doesn't put it in the recycle bin. It took years to convince her that not only is it ending up in the land fill any way, but she is adding cost to recycling.

I am glad he was able to find out he was wrong and didn't do something stupid. I see people all the time who get mad about someone doing something and confronting him with no proof they did it. Always make sure before you accuse someone.

Reply to Intel breaks the 6GHz barrier with $699 Core i9-13900KS processor by Avieshek
It's not a barrier. They can make a processor much faster. But if they do, they won't make all the money from slowly releasing CPUs that at faster and faster.
