Today Is Friday July 19, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 


Today painting was done by Hanndon Sundblom. In 1950 the same year my husband was born.

I watch Trump speech last night. I only got two thing to say. I hope he doesn't get vote in. And what an A HOLE. 

This morning they had news story on how much energy that all these world wide web company use, and how they are contributing to climate crisis. Including Google, A.I and I'm sure there quite a list of other web and social media companies also contributing to the climate crisis. In today world these companies are part of our life. But my question the people who uses in web more less for entertainment. Can't come up a better word. I would fall under this category. If we disconnected one day a week. Would it bring down the climate crisis?

Coffee Is On.

  1. I don't know if going offline one day a week would help curb the climate crisis. My husband and I take an average of one computer-free day a month. I think it would be more helpful if not so many trees were cut down in the rainforests... and not so much unnecessary stuff was produced.
    All the best and happy weekend, Traude

  2. From what I read, its the AI for commercial and industrial purposes that is eating up so much energy. Also, I think the bitcoin miners are chewing up lots of power also. I think if all the hobby bloggers in world went completely offline I don't think it would even make a small blip in total power consumption.

  6. Yeah, that AI (and cryptocurrency) sure eats up resources. But corporations are so all in that they don't seem to care. Sigh.

  9. I’d use the computer one day a week if it would help the climate.

  10. I saw trump on tv with his huge white bandage and had to laugh hard at all his followers also wearing huge white bandages on their ears.
    I don't think a few hundred hobby bloggers like us make a lot of difference, it's the big corporations and spammers that use up so much internet time and resources.

  11. The bitcoin miners are a terrible scourge on energy and the chip makers and data centers consume so much energy and water too. After the fiasco of worldwide chaos produced by one blunder from a microsoft security vendors update, I think to myself lets just scrap the whole thing and go back to books, pencil and paper.
