After living remotely with only solar (+batteries) to power my home for past 5 years, I have greater appreciation for every watt that's spared - by hardware and software.
My workstation (Mac mini M1) and home server (ThinkCenter mini PC) use <30w between them. The Internet contraption with 4G router, PoE switch, and multiple APs uses another 20w. Laptop is <10w when charged.
Still 🤯 that my computing setup uses less power than an old 60w incandescent light bulb!
