Traveling with school to Poland and Czechia in the late 90s we were told to always bring our own TP if using public restrooms. Not because of the quality, as much as because of the non-existence, of TP.
30 teens were rolling into Poland each with at least one roll of TP in the luggage. No one had to use it.
Hopefully you all shat in a bucket for week before dumping the contents through the responsible managers sunroof?
I use Firefox on Android exclusively. Having ublock for youtube on my phone is great… But since updating to Android 13 watching full-screen video in FF has been an issue. Usually it requires that I restart the app to work.
TBH it’s been awhile since I used NNTP to download Linux images. Probably like 8 or 10 years. So I have no idea what’s up these days. I think I used astra because headers didn’t count in your quota, and I had my own indexer so I pulled a lot of headers. Funny how alt.binaries.linuximages and alt.binaries.erotica.amateur.realmoms.fetish.diapers didn’t get indexed by the major free indexer at the time.
“use”…“net”…? I seem to have heard the term before, but it is as if that part of my memory has been formatted, almost redacted, countless of times…
I want to help you, friend, but I suggest you don’t utter those words again, lest you find your memory wiped… Also you should google news about Astra or something like that, I’ve found astra to have the most complete news coverage ;-)
The interface is new to most of us :) thanks for not getting snarky about it

And here I was just happy to have an excuse for not reading a wall text other than “I don’t wanna”
Linus would be ecstatic - especially if they threw in a 5700xt and a 5600x in there as well. Come to think of it, probably not the best thing ever to have a 300W heating element in your pocket in case you want to play candy crush on the can.
I wish the beer was that cheap.
I’m not going to argue about that with you, I’m so old I was online years before google, so I should have known better… but I’d still like to see numbers on that for smartphones.
Edit: I tried updating this, when I submitted sh.itjust.works was down and I lost it… the edit that is. Anyway I have now updated some grammar and put in some more context AND a tl;dr at the bottom. All for the low low price of my hyper focus.
Alright, it’s math time.
A quick google comes up with this blog post, which I haven’t vetted or even read at all, it just has a table with some stats https://dodonut.com/blog/does-dark-mode-save-battery/. I should probably also mention that I am going to use the most impressive savings in the following. Actual savings may be as little as a 4th.
Apparently going to dark mode with 100% brightness provide a net saving of 40% on a pixel 2. Let’s assume this is universally true for all OLED and AMOLED displays, LCD users won’t see a difference, neither will CRTs but (that was false, I’m an idiot)
… I don’t think that I’ve heard of a CRT display on a phone.
40%? That sounds like a lot, doesn’t it?
Well yes and no, in relative terms it’s impressive, but it really depends on absolute terms. So how much does a phone use? The pixel 2 from before comes with a 10.39Wh battery, let’s assume an average use of 80% per day, then that comes out to 8.32Wh per day per phone. That means that the 40% reduction is 3.33Wh daily.
Is that a lot? Depends, if your only power source is a potato with a bit of copper and a galvanized nail, then yes, otherwise no.
Over the course of a year 3.33Wh a day comes to 1.215kWh.
Let’s put that into some context. The largest Vestas offshore wind turbine is the 15MW V236 https://www.vestas.com/en/products/offshore/V236-15MW. It can produce 80GWh annually. With the saving of 1.215kWh per phone, then for every approx 66 million OLED phones, we can skip erecting one offshore wind turbine.
But let’s look at a global impact. As of yesterday there were 8.05 billion people breathing on the planet. Let’s say they all achieve the maximum saving of 1.215kWh annually. That’s 9.78TWh. Presently there’s a handful of projects planned with the V236, https://www.offshorewind.biz/2023/04/03/vestas-15-mw-prototype-now-at-full-throttle/, totalling 7.3 GW, 486.6 units (I’ve got the figures for each project and added them up, so the number of units is an approximation) or 38.9TWh annually. So get everyone to achieve maximum saving, with technology most doesn’t have, and we can save a quarter of the planned pre-order of a turbine model that isn’t even done with testing.
tl;dr: dark mode does save power, but at best its effect is miniscule, and realistically utterly insignificant.
I’d maybe try youtube music, if google didn’t force it down my throat. But when I can’t uninstall it without rooting my phone. Or when I’ve got Spotify already setup, and then have to specify that I want to use it on my home devices. That’s just annoying.
Me: ok google! Bedroom lamps color red, bedroom lamps intensity 30% and play Diana Krall the look of love on the bedroom speakers
Google: Playing The Look of Love by Diana Krall from youtube music, but first listen to these ads before you get your freak on
