I find it incredible how indifferent and uneducated I was back then, about how much power it uses and what the consequences are on a larger scale. I remember keeping it powerd on 24/7 (of course with periods in which it slept). Nowadays I am (hyper)aware of the power consumption of pretty much every device in the house.
- angry_octet 9y agoI still have a G5 for some specific software, and it has amazing power management. Nothing at the time even came close. It would put itself to sleep without fuss, and wake instantly and seamlessly. It certainly used less power than my newer linux x64 box over the course of a day.
