Idk, but I’d expect all sensors to degrade over time for different reasons and especially if they are not cleaned and maintained regularly.

I’ve got an optical that is recommended to replace after ten years. I find it a reasonable investment.

I don’t buy much clothes but I’m in need to order some new ones. Zalando was great because of the vast selection of brands - despite them making it harder to filter on environmentally better options already several years ago. Now I don’t want to use them any more. Any suggestions for good, ethical and preferably environmentally friendly online stores for Sweden/EU?

Some preemptive advice if you’re in the market of integrating TTS for some customer or service:

Do not ever use any “humanisation” tweaks. Having a computer voice stumble on a word or fucking cough is uncanny valley and how to make people feel manipulated in one simple trick.

Just don’t. Everybody hates it.

Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.

Don’t make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It’s just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.

I have an Asustor that is running Debian. It’s just a PC in a NAS enclosure so why should it not.

Companies go out of business all the time and others decide to sunset systems in use so customers are required to upgrade despite it is still working. So yeah, be realistic about expectations for any external service you decide to invest in.

Edit; and some things like smoke detectors do in fact have a life span after which they are degrading. Ten years is normal for a smoke detector.

Cyberpunk.

No “lifespan” people around?

These clicky baity titles are so fucking stupid. The bleeding edge of data storage is priced at a premium? How surprising.
