How is this a technology story?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is it not? Showerheads and refrigerators are technology.

[–] oshu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.

So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.

However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.

The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.

You’re so close! …. Policy on what? Energy tech.

You not considering efficiency measures in household products “energy tech” is a you thing. Everyone else agrees they are.

Everyone else agrees they are.

[–] rowdyrockets@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah brother - it’s called the ratio…. also given this post is still up despite your lamenting.
