A new UN report finds that humanity is generating 137 billion pounds of TVs, smartphones, and other e-waste a year—and recycling less than a quarter of it.

          I the mean time, mods should just make a rule that says archive links need to be added to the post body if there is a paywall.

          And that said, I don’t get the Wired paywall at all and I’m not subscribed. I wonder if it’s an AB test.

            I dont get it either besides that obnoxious banner that you can minimize… might be because of ublock origin addon

              This is what I see. No banners, just a header and an article.

                and this is the banner that I was talking about:

                This is what you see when you run out of free articles:
