I believe the problem is that it's actively cooled, so it won't get hotter under a blanket.
He could always unplug it though...

Actually, with clean sources of electricity like wind and solar, the amount consumption doesn't matter. It only matters if there isn't enough for everyone, or the power comes from non-green sources (coal etc)

You're right in theory, but in practice the point is that email survives because it's not a closed, proprietary protocol.
Unfortunately I don't think the issue is quite so simple. We used to have open chat protocols that were slowly strangled by big tech until only their solutions remained.
I think the biggest problem is simply user apathy, if users cared more we wouldn't have the whole US green/blue bubble problem

Traditionally, we the players paid for the servers. If it was a server browser game like counter strike, the various clans would pay for their own servers. Companies that sold gaming servers would also host some as an advertisement of how good their servers were

What's your useless skill?
Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it
Reply in thread
Youtube tracks how much of a video each person watches. These metrics are used by youtubers to strike deals with sponsors.
The amount of money the sponsor pays will be based on how many views the sponsor's message part of the video gets.

You're right! There's nothing wrong with efficiency and teaching people to be less wasteful, however I believe including it in your argument for renewables means muddying the message.
Talking about getting production to 100% renewable puts the onus on governments and power companies to change.
Talking about efficiency is about getting consumers to use less, and allows energy producers and politicians to point the finger at people leaving their lights on unnecessarily rather than getting on with the job of making more renewable energy.
This is of course speculation on my part

As evidenced by all the prompts, we aren't! But it's still the best place to get the latest info from some companies
