Fair point. There are bigger fish to fry but this is a change people can easily make 👍

They will. Mass extinctions worse than what we would cause have happened in the past.

“Life, uh, finds a way”

We’re just not part of it

Guerilla solar will not & cannot take off. Community solar, however, yes. A “power co-op” where communities / towns / neighborhoods can pool power gen, storage, and use. Forming a small grid of their own that sips from the larger grid if needed.

Vampire devices are largely irrelevant, but always worth knowing which of your devices draws power. My 3d printer just sitting, but on, draws 10w. Off, it draws <1w or lower. My unplugged phone charger? Less than 0.1w. Is this larger than 0? Yep, is it enough to matter, no, not really. Being extremely pessimistic, we can say that all powered off devices plugged in vamp about 1w of power. At worst, my whole house would waste about 30wH. Over a day, that’s 720wH. A week is 5kwH, 20kwH/month, 241kwH a year. An average home for my homes size & area uses 12,632 kwh/year.

Now, we put this a slightly more realistic scenario where most unused devices vamp between 0.4-0.1 (avg 0.2w), and 241kwH/yr -> 48kwH/year, or about 0.3% of my average household consumption.

All that said, know what your devices pull. unplug or turn off the that are “big spenders” when idle. I turn off my printer and unplug TVs that rarely get used. Power strips help for things like stereo or home theater systems.

Dont think they can, it’s a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through “grey” channels. There’s a whole writup on it.

Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn’t had an issue for 20 years, I’ll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate

Yea but i don’t like sync for privacy, ad, and pricing reasons right now.

All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.

Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.

You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022
