Out of curiosity, I followed the wifi citation [1], and at a first reference it comes from the 1byte model on the page, which gives a simple Wh/byte figure. Which in turn appears be derived from the 5th spreadsheet by taking the total yearly energy consumption of devices that use wifi and dividing it by the amount of data said devices use over the year. Which I have absolutely zero idea what use that ratio even could have, let alone be important enough for an entire spreadsheet. But it certainly is complete garbage for calculating the energy cost of data transfers. (well, infrastructure kWh/GB calculated that way could be interesting, but still utterly useless for calculating a marginal energy cost) [1] https://theshiftproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Lean-ICT-Materials-Liens-à-télécharger-réparé-le-29-10-2019.pdf https://theshiftproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Lean-...
