Might be helpful to get some perspective on this. Most cards idle in the 5-10 watt range, but there have been outliers, like the Intel A770 before the drivers were mostly fixed, which ran at 45 watts.[1] I believe there have been even more

This is probably correct the instant you get a whiff of bad faith or differing fundamental principles that you aren't going to be able to change, and if you do try, it'll devolve into an argument, but I've been involved in si

They give you a hardware token that spits out some numbers and use that as your second factor instead. Usually after a lot more fiddling than a TOTP app would be. Or they don't and tell you to use a different bank.
