Say ‘Climate Crisis’

Agreed, especially for gaming PC. On laptops and generic PC I think there could be a bigger swing, but also you’d need a USB port capable of pushing 30w which is not a standard feature by any means in a PC/laptop.

Counter point. Most computer power supplies have a curve to their charging efficiency (somewhere north of 50% load). If your PC is substantially below the peak of that curve, then adding load (the phone) could raise the PSU’s efficiency say from 80 to 85% (I’m making up numbers) which would affect the overall efficiency of the entire PC’s load.

I think your answer is still probably correct, but it’s an interesting nuance to think about.

Side notes: Some PSU’s use gallium, e.g., Corsair ax1600i, though by and large most do not. Also if your in the EU then your working with 220/240v PSU’s which adds more efficiency, but that would apply to the phone charger as well.

TINKs

Sisal carpet is better than rope for cats is my understanding. There are some places online that sell carpet remnants for cats. You can just hot glue the carpet to a cardboard tube on or an existing cat post.

Just understand if you want to get places in IT your going to have to climb the ladder, keep sharp on technologies, and make connections. It’s doable, but it takes effort. After a decade of cutting your teeth, your schooling should be largely irrelevant on your resume. This is my career path and I keep pace with my colleagues who all have degrees.

Agree with this post here. Adding to this thought:

Outside of initial provisioning/firmware updates. This server should only need to reboot once a month for OS/firmware security updates and maintenance. Maybe less/more depending on your organizations security posture. OP said they’re running VM’s so I don’t understand the concern with the boot time. Once you provision the host you don’t really tinker with any setting unless your adding hardware to updating firmware/os.

If the boot time is really that big a deal, get a second host and setup replication/vmotion with your VM’s to eliminate the host boot time from affecting your uptime entirely.

Kbin has a moderated filter which is nice

I don’t know about you but I regulary text my friend to ask how their fur trees are doing.

Financial Independence Retire Early

There’s one full imax in CT being demolished for a bridge. It is a very necessary bridge that’s 125 years old and supports the commuter rail into NYC. I doubt the IMAX will be replaced.

When I click that it looks essentially the same as editing the post. Do I just scroll to the bottom and pick the new community?
