Haha, that’s… juicy. Thanks!

For those out of the loop, what happened?

Some of the arm based windows laptops, and even the newer x86 windows laptops, get pretty good battery life these days too. In my personal life, I have both an arm based MacBook and windows laptop. Both get similar battery life. I do wish there was an easy way to get Linux running on the windows laptop though.

At work it’s usually all the corporate… bloat/security stuff that kills windows. I recently made the work switch to a MacBook and the difference is night and day.

In the corpo world, office integration with OneDrive and Teams is pretty nice too.

I wonder if pre-shooting, or whatever canon calls their implementation of this feature, would help? Granted, a long exposure should catch it too, but unless you’re constantly going to be taking long exposures…

Same, but I do have some level of worry regarding portability. My solution isn’t local or self hosted, as I was looking for easy and works across Linux/Windows/Mac/Android/iOS. I do not look forward to needing to change to a new password manager in the future, but given the way everything seems to be going it seems likely that I’ll have to at some point.

Spot on answer.

While I totally agree with you, it really does seem like we’re moving back towards the era of centralized committing, at least for mainstream computing. More and more “desktop” applications are really electron apps with a good chunk of the compute happening server side. That’s before you start to consider the many browser based word processing products, etc.

So much the same. In this market I would rather stick around with the devil I know beii have a good reputation and network. I don’t want to be the new person somewhere else should things go sideways. Grated, I am very much on the chopping block at my current employer given the waves of layoffs and “performance frings” that have been happening…

I got curious and will attempt some math and duckduckgoing.

A forest can remove between 4.5 and 40.7 tons of Carbon Dioxide per year per hectare during the first 20 years of tree growth. Sauce

Humanity is currently generating around 40 billion tons of CO2 per year. Sauce

So now some simple math: it would take between 1 billion and 10 billion hectares of forests, depending on their maturity, to keep up. 100 hectare = 1 km² sauce, so this means 10 to 100 million km² of forests.

Earth’s total surface area is 510 million km². sauce.

Of that, here’s a quick breakdown:

Sauce

So 10ish percent of the 510 million km² of land on earth, or around 5.1 million km² is a good candidate for tree planting. That’s not enough if we want to sequester all the carbon produced by humanity. Without getting to net zero global warming will continue. The best we can do is slow it down. More disconcertingly, our appetite for energy is only increasing. The good news is that we’re really starting to see large scale wind and farm operations ramping up, but there are still a lot of power plants scheduled to come online in the next two decades.
