In the chat we had a discussion about why AI needs to be managed properly. Dependence will cause us to lose our ability to problem solve, use discernment and critically think. Think of the humans from the Pixar movie Wall-E. That will become us.

The headline is misleading. Wattage does matter what matters less is the 80 plus bronze rating and other efficiency measures. Good chart in the article shows why.

An underrated aspect of purchasing a laptop. One in which I wish I had paid more attention to with my last purchase. Sometimes you get what you pay for with a cheaper laptop. If you work on it a lot or write, then you probably need to make sure it's good quality. Replacing a laptop keyboard can be a pain in the rear.

Some decent thoughts but not the end all be all. Linux has a learning curve. About 3 to 4 months but after a bit it will feel like home.

If anyone is looking for a new search engine with good privacy, have a look here and find one of your choice.
And have a look in the settings (wheel, upper right side). There are nice options.
