  • Why is that? The electricity burned is about the same, no? Of course, the impact is more distributed.

    Forget about everything related to the prompt itself being processed for the moment. What other information do you think they are grabbing and processing along with the prompt? Maybe some data about you and your interactions for resale? Account info? Piecing together details about you perhaps, for some of that highly-targeted-advertising-data companies love to sell?

    Even the comment you are replying to, IMO, is pretty conservative about the actual energy savings.

    My current decision is between a new Motorola signature 27 with graphene (running under the assumption Linux will be able to make the jump there, which isn’t an unreasonable conclusion to jump to), or getting a mostly basic flip phone that can hotspot and using a umpc with it.

    Where Linux phones have failed for me is the limited options for phones and on the actual phone part, so I feel like separation that out with a nice umpc and letting a phone be a phone is a worthwhile option.

    We’ll see how things play out though!
