    Tangent to leaving FO76 open…

    Makes me wonder how much energy is wasted by people just leaving their desktop computers on.

    I know I used to be bad about that and eventually made a concerted effort to always sleep or turn it off.

    I’m also glad LED lights are a thing now. I’m a lot better at turning lights off now as well, but at least if one gets forgotten on now it’s like 10x less waste.
