Wow… saving the planet by moving half a Watt of power consumption per PC to a greener time slot. I don’t think I have ever heard someone do less about emissions and brag about it.
I’m sure it will look good on paper in some report - 500 tons of CO2 saved in a year globally or whatever. Just… ignore all the hardware obsolescence they tried to impose by Windows 11 requirements.

- clnq 4y agoSince the text is black for most Hacker News readers, and more text turns off more pixels on their screens, my carbon pledge is to increase the number of vowels in my messages by 15% by 2055. To compound the carbon-negative effect of my pledge, I will bully people into replacing their supposedly obsolete displays with OLED ones that actually dim/turn off those black pixels. Yes, that'll put carbon right back where it belongs.
