Although you're right that that energy is not spent cooking, it is helping to heat your home, and save you mental energy. Energy you can spend calculating how much energy you're actually saving.

You're talking about a couple hundred watts. You could cook non-stop for your entire life and you still wouldn't waste as much energy as a single flight with a modern airplane.

We're spending more just typing on our phones today, considering the phone, the inefficient charger left plugged in, the server of the platform we're posting on.

Try seeing of any of the lamps in your house can be upgraded to led. That could save you hundreds of watts for hours every day. (hundreds of watts per hour).
Go to work by bicycle, or train, or bus. (thousands of watts a day)\

Ye no shit. Anyone who thinks for more than two seconds should realise there is no universal knowledge that's just magically equal for everyone. "Common sense", is probably closer to "being reasonable" but more often used to say "just go with your first thought"

Oh, good catch! I have to say I don't usually look at what specific tls version websites use. I'll be paying attention to this for a bit

  1. private, secure dns, so they don't know the domains you're visiting
  2. https everywhere, so they can't see any of the data you're sending or receiving

All that's left is what ip's you're connecting to. Which is useless half the time, especially since most websites are behind cloudflare or some other anti-ddos proxy already.

Also, don't use the web browser that came with your phone. Some manufacturers and isp's might enjoy adding tracking into those. Some, like Apple, even got caught not encrypting amy of that.

Side note:

  • https everywhere is pretty much the standard in modern web browsers
  • an adblocker can still help a lot in blocking trackers
  • a secure dns you can find in your browser settings

Step 1. unlock your bootloader
Step 2. Ditch samsung/xiaomi/oneplus/motorola/whatever's default software
Step 3. Put lineageOS or something on there
Step 4. Enjoy not dealing with bullshit

TLDR: Two people in a car hit someone and stop. Look under the car, see someone stuck and alive under there. So they decide to just.. keep driving, slowly grinding down the flesh of the victim still alive and feeling. Until eventually they die from their injuries.

Then later they forcefully pulled the dead corpse from the car, that took a few tries. And just left the corpse.

This is cold blooded murder. But using a car, that is semi legal for some reason

Ye, but, the ui sucks :/

Why can't they decouple it from the webview yet? Like how it was for a while, and how it works on the android app
