It is correct about when plate tectonics theory became mainstream consensus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_Tectonics_Revolution

Thanks, I see your point. My computers are usually doing something (running servers, long-running computations, backups, downloads, etc) or they are sleeping (ie, not running up the power bill). Boot time isn’t the tedious part of restarting, it’s restoring state that isn’t saved. Anyway, I always disable auto-updates because updates change things; I want to choose when things change.

I’m surprised your PC runs hot enough to cost you so much for A/C. I doubt my computers impact my power bill very much compared to appliances, heating, charging cars, etc.

Wait, why are “normal” persons shutting down their computer on a regular basis? I tend to avoid shutting down because restarts are a tad tedious.

The local food bank. It’s hard to make ends meet. If people can get food from the food bank then maybe their limited dollars can go to other things they need.

“Amused and repulsed” is exactly right. One of the things I love about Jim Lill is he cuts thru all that babble and just tries to figure it out himself. Agree with him or not, his “Tested: Where Does the Tone Come From” vids are good fun, and well done. https://www.youtube.com/@JimLill/videos
