People shit on them because while there are people that actually use them for real work daily that’s like maybe if I’m being super generous 5% of the market of trucks. Even out in rural areas like I am where it’s over two and a half hours to the nearest grouping of buildings large enough to even pretend to be called the city the majority of the people out here with their big ass lifted trucks never take them off the pavement and never do any real work with them.

They are just driven around as status symbols and I’m tired of seeing them, the best part being that my little smart fortwo can literally off road better than most of these four wheel trucks out here thanks to it’s short wheelbase, and I have a variable suspension so I don’t even have to be permanently dumb lifted to do it

Using modern filters, and using a pressure booster pump to ensure proper pressure level this is actually nowhere near as bad it’s now possible to achieve a one-to-one clean to waste ratio.

If you don’t want any waste you can go to nanofiltration which is roughly as effective as Reverseosmosis and does not have the Wastewater issue but they are significantly more expensive.

And it’s not as if that Wastewater is sewage it’s just the same water that came in with a higher concentration of the stuff that you didn’t want that was already present in the water so that Wastewater can be reused for gardening, or gray water such as showers and toilets

I get that they aren’t perfect but everything has a trade off and reverse osmosis or nanofiltration is really the only way to get rid of many different sources of water contamination especially things like microplastics and pfas

Just a heads up Brita filters do basically nothing it’s mostly just a carbon block which will help remove chlorine flavor which makes it taste a little better but in terms of actually removing contaminants it does very little to almost nothing.

Zero water is the closest thing in brita drip form that actually removes things but getting a counter top reverse osmosis is the way to go if not getting a dedicated under sink unit

Lspci and lsusb will help you match up with the list

Security is layers, i utilize apparmor and firejail personally. And in fact 90% of widespread malware specifically relies on lazy people. Often targets default passwords etc

Sure, if they put in the effort. Most don’t even when Distributing malware

This is why you use a user agent switcher to lie about being windows. It’s a form of anti malware!
