They stated that the new mater lies would not live up to their requirements on longlivity and quality. Abs which is currently used is quite stable and can and is therefore be used for generations.

The new materials would lead to faded and broken Lego bits after some years and degrade the brand perception. Since new stuff would need to be bought then this would be less CO2 efficient.

For other PET products we usually do not have any longlivity requirements. Plastic bottles barely need to survive for a year and therefore the recycling process is still much better than producing new plastic.

In short: It is better to produce 1kg of CO2 once every 30 years than 0.2kg of CO2 every 5 years.

I am sure there is still some typical greenwashing in the calculations, but it makes sense to me that they do not want to reduce their quality standards.

I am 30 years old and I have a switch and a Xbox Series X.

I use both, depending on the game I am currently playing. The Zelda gaes on the switch have been awesome and some of the Mario games as well.

The Xbox can deliver better graphics and with this more demanding games, but I cannot play them on the train or on vacation and that are actually the most times where I find time to play.

If I am at home with time to play I am still on the PC playing with friends.

For the price the Switch has definitely given me more value than the Xbox, even though I do like the Xbox.

I find the lacking/inconsistent integration between Atlassian tools annoying.

Why is there no useful Bitbucket <-> Confluence integration? Why is the markdown or other syntax in Jira so inconsistent. You have to use different stiles in Jira Comments, acceptance criteria and Story titles.

But to be fair with Jira: Often it is the using company who misconfigures in an absolute mess as they try to reimplement some horrible SAP CRM flow which they wanted to get away from before.
