So, what was the »Mining« in the name of #3M all about?
Turns out, nothing really.
One unsuccessful attempt:
»The goal was to mine corundum, (...), which failed because the mine's mineral holdings were anorthosite, (...) which had no commercial value.«

When did #3m decide that all #Command strips should be male velcro?

Useless.

💀 Forever chemicals. Forever lobbying.
EPA greenlights PFAS pesticides while senators rake in millions from the chemical industry. Who’s winning? Hint: not the public. ⬇️ https://alaskaheadlineliving.com/%e2%98%a0%ef%b8%8f-toxic-influence-the-forever-chemical-pesticide-lobby/ #news #pesticides #foreverchemicals #EPA #3M #Dupont #AlaskaHeadlineLiving

@adamhsparks yeah, kinda sad there ain't many transflective screens around.

• #3M was allowed to gobble up #PixelQi…

"Advocates began sounding the alarm over PFAS in pesticides in 2023. The #Biden EPA attempted to discredit the author of one study that identified PFAS in pesticides, and the agency appeared to have lied about whether some of the chemicals are in pesticides. Under Donald #Trump, the EPA has increased the number of PFAS proposed for use in pesticides."

#California farms applied millions of pounds of #PFAS to key crops, study finds

‘#ForeverChemicals’ sprayed on #almonds, #grapes, #tomatoes and other crops as activists warn of ‘obvious problem’

by Tom Perkins
Tue 18 Nov 2025 07.00 EST

Excerpt: "California farms applied an average of 2.5m lbs of PFAS “forever chemicals” per year on cropland from 2018 to 2023, or a total of about 15m lbs, a new review of state records shows.

The chemicals are added to pesticides that are sprayed on crops such as almonds, pistachios, #wine grapes, #alfalfa and tomatoes, the review of California Department of Pesticide Regulation data found. The Environmental Working Group nonprofit put together the report.

The risk for uptake of PFAS is likely higher in water-rich fruits and vegetables, because water attracts the chemicals, and research has shown PFAS may concentrate at dangerous levels in some produce. The chemicals also pollute water supplies and present a higher risk to the often low income and Latino #farmworkers."

@landley Right now I'm glad @krutonium made sufficient efforts to enable said #eBookReader to be feasibly target-able for @OS1337.

• Cuz even tho I'm not @TechConnectify I do like #eInk and can see the merits of #transflective screens.

Yes, I'm still mad about #PixelQi getting acquired.by #3M and ceasing to offer their cool screens and yes I still want that PixelQi-swapped #IdeaPad-#Netbook…

• Why can't we have nice things?

@thejessiekirk @tillybridges Pretty shure #3M sells similar products with #RD40 / DIN EN148-1 screw mount.

• I'm just not familiar with their product line, unlike #Ekastu which I can vouch for from experience.

#Dräger should also be available globally but they are an asshole company actively working against #RightToRepair and #DMCA'd #RepairManuals for #MedicalDevices like Ventilators, so I'm not gonna buy nor recommend them at all!

• As for #shipping and #customs, that's something out of control for said companies. I could try to "parcel-proxy" for you if you don't trust #BorderLinx but #Trump's #Trariffs basically result in shipments being halted.

Resonac creates 27-member consortium to pursue advanced chip developments related to interposers, which provide electric connections between dies and components inside a chip package. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/04/companies/resonac-consortium/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #chipmakers #tech #resonac #3m #synopsys #asmpt #canon #kao #tokyoelectron

So, yes, there are chemicals involved in natural processes, but you know what's not natural? #PFAS, #PFOS, and other #ForeverChemicals! If folks are becoming wary of #BigChemical (#Dow, #3M, etc) and #Pesticides, that's not a bad thing (imho)... (And no, I am not against vaccines or modern medicine -- just Big Chemical using people and the planet as their dumping ground!)

More And More People Suffer From '#Chemophobia' — And MAHA Is Partly To Blame [But not PFAS manufacturersl?!!]

The fear tactic strikes a nerve with both conservatives and liberals alike. Here’s what you need to know.

@rl_dane granted, as @TechConnectify points out this is propably due to the use of #eInk as a tech for monitors being nieche and big panels being more of an exception than norm.

• I'm still mad #3M decided to pull #PixelQi off the market post-aquisition because it combines the advantages of #LCD & eInk with fewer drawbacks than either alone...

Alas one could in theory #DIY cheaper eInk Monitors if one accepts seconds-per-frame instead of frames per second as well as being willing to fiddle around with a @RaspberryPi / #Pi0 v1.3 and shove that #HDMI2CSI adapter on so it bssically displays a captured #HDMI signal in fullscreen.
