I probably watch most videos on 720p, many on 480p. Maybe once a week or less I switch to 1080p.

Pumped hydro has 70-80% efficiency. I just looked up the number for a local one (smallish, ~180MW) and it claims 77% It operates on a weekly cycle, pumping up at night and weekends. You do need a hill to build one, though. But you don&#x27

In the good old days (XP and before) one would get either media or a tool to create CDs with the machine... The key was stickered at the bottom. I switched to Linux also for work laptop sometime after that so I wouldn't know when that
