lmde on a seven year old laptop five years ago, i was already accustomed to wifi on linux being dogshit. energy management was even worse and for some time hibernation was not a thing

Can’t you just disable sleep on close?

i could, but closing the lid turned off radios (wifi + bt) at some low level in a way that i haven't figured out

starting a cult is just good business

but can both of them lose?

speaking of oracle, they recently loaded up on debt and got into deals that are all but impossible to fulfill, and in a couple of years their survival will depend on openai making profit. (not revenue) put a pin in it and come back to that in a year or three

where i live it's a part of building code that hot water has to be hot enough that legionella doesn't survive in it. depending on the place it might be different and whether building is up to code is a separate thing entirely

legionella dies after 2min at 60C tho

depends on your buildings construction, if you have steel piping then it should be fine as long as you boil it. if it's chlorinated then it shouldn't even matter too hard

openai will listen to it too

that's not a waste of energy, but i bet there was also other habit that is: unless you want to specifically evaporate water, things will get boiled just the same on low or high heat. (heating up to boiling point is most economical using high power) there's zero reason to keep thing boiling on high heat then add water. also, using hot tap water. water heater is much better at heating water than open gas flame, yet i see people insisting on heating entire pots and kettles of cold tap water

i guess the apparent intention was so that it can be listened to, instead of read. the actual intention was to get money from the same type of person this appeals to

i hope he's not remembered at all, like his cause (someday)
