It can require up to 80% more power to charge something compared to just plugging it in.

Hell yeah! Looking forward to seeing these two duke it out.

I believe I've mentioned this here before, but I really do wonder if humans will ever stop making Godzilla films...

Speaking of hysterical, this woman's resignation letter.

Since she participated in the attack on the capitol she is clearly on the extreme right. My concern is the possibly millions of people who aren't crazy enough to attack the capital, but believe the ridiculous things in her resignation letter. That is what is truly troubling... 30-40% of the voting public need "deprogramming"...

Yeah, I am definitely an "old man" when it comes to computer cases. Never have understood the clear case sides and internal lighting. Same for keyboards this has been my keyboard for approaching two decades now. Classic White Buckling Spring -- notice, no Windows key.

Corsair Crystal 570X RGB Mid-Tower Case was a Father's Day gift from my wife a couple years ago. Until form factors change I can't see getting rid of it. It's incredibly versatile and easy to access. I do use a liquid cooler on the CPU but I am not a LED guy. I am fairly intense about my cable management and the case makes that easy to keep straight as well. Highly recommended by this complete amateur. It has the clear tempered glass and previous to owning it I didn't think that style would be my thing. It turned out my wife knew better than I did.

TWO DECADES WITH THE SAME KEYBOARD?! Is it immortal? I have never had one last longer than 3 before 'something' goes wrong. Damn that is impressive.

I forget, has Epic sued them in the EU? I would expect them to get a better hearing there.

Twitter should be taken down immediately it has far more vile content, threats, pornography and even occasionally pedo stuff.

Pedo stuff? No wonder Jim Jordan and Trump are so eager to be on it!

Saw a claim it was ice, not an onion. *shrug*

It's possible. It's also possible it was an onion, as in the ME they believe that raw onions can mitigate the effects of tear gas. Not sure what that mechanism might be.
