Back to the good old days when products were of higher quality. What a concept.
I've heard this from service techs who have worked on my refrigerator and dishwasher - major appliances in America last a third as long as they did 10 or 15 years ago.

Now, this is the trading standards that we all ask for; not "be more racist" or repeal the protection on lgbt. Christ, American fascism is the weirdest i have seen. Fascism in the past didn't even try to dictate the laws and regulations of other countries.

Under inflation is terrible for longevity, handling, and safety. You should maintain proper tire pressure.
So is over-inflation.
Always inflate to the correct pressure as per the placard.
If you are driving in unusual conditions,My little Jimny weighs bugger-all but needs Light Truck tyres.
On-road pressure is a very light 26 PSI.
If I am driving through Sand, Mud or Snow I will deflate to an appropriate pressure and drive slowly.
If I am driving over rocky terrain, I will also deflate to an appropriate pressure for better adhesion.As soon as I hit the Tarmac again, I will reinflate back to 26.
If I am carrying more weight or towing, I will inflate the rear tyres to 29. -
I don’t even understand what fascism means in each case on lemmy and whether it is a fixed term or some adaptive catch it all
This is a fair point made in an absurd context

Not quite, something like 98% of road damage is caused by trucks. Damage increases exponentially with weight.
Passenger cars are getting heavier
Light trucks (SUVs) are now being driven in lieu of compact station-wagons.Vehicle classes are also getting larger and heavier. Subcompacts that used to weigh less than 1000kg are now about 1500kg and EV variants are over 2000kg!

What exactly is there to dispute with a government that is trying to carve a unitary executive out of a 3 branch system, admires Nazis, has ties to actual neo-Nazis and leaders who have literally seig heiled, and is currently turning an agency into the gestapo and deporting anyone he wants to concentration camps?

Exactly this. Wifi is awesome. Some opaque server on the internet is not. Let me home assistant the shit out that load of dishes.
And have an easily accessed setting to turn it all off if you don't want it. I'd even be okay with a physical switch. The short answere is, your appliance should do what you and only you want it to do, and you should be able to enforce that.

they are truly junk. the only goal of American industry, it seems, is to make more money than ever.

I am talking about 40.000kg trucks. Anything below 3.500kg is basically harmless (in comparison).

Longer means more forever chemicals

It depends on what the roads were built for.
If they are built to handle 1500kg passenger cars, 3500kg behemoth SUVs and Pickups can really do some damage, especially at speed.

Right, so if they break down faster the forever chemicals disappear faster. Is that what you mean?

That's weird. I tried IKEA first and they died super quick too.
Only thing that makes sense to me is they are somehow overheating which doesn't make sense since they weren't fully enclosed and room temp is normal.Maybe I've give them ago again, it was 5+ years ago I tried them.
I’ve been running Tradfri lamps from IKEA for over 5 years now with little issue. But I have them always somewhat dimmed. Not sure if that would make a difference.

I don't know of any road built for 1.500kg cars. Most are 40t, with some 12t and very few narrow and old ones with 3.5t (and usually have a 30 km/h limit).

And that's nothing. You know how they're pushing for washing machines, dishwashers, etc. to be internet connected? Currently they're forcing this for data mining purposes. But I have no doubt their real goal is to eventually make these devices like printers, with expensive consumables locked in by internet-connected DRM. They've already gotten people used to using dish and clothes detergent pods. How long until they're putting everything in plastic cartridges, locking things down with DRM, and charging like printer companies do?

Oh look! So much progress is being made since USA embargoed itself!

Always has been.

And work without apps.
They should just force them to open the API, this would be sufficient in most cases.
