Good example why world needs invent better portable energy sources and even reach to stage where every city or community has local fusion/solar/wind/antimatter/fuelcell station. Standards are needed quickly, example 1: 14 inch HP laptop can use 10-14inch other brand motherboard. Example 2: Unify power cable connection types even more. Example 3: Ban proprietary locking down of computing devices and control units from printers to car PCM units and so on. Example 4: Eradication of low quality stuff that is big % of world waste. Example 5: Everything should be easily serviceable or extendable to get most of it, but now there is so much locking down of devices and worse it gets.
