No more power blocks, wall warts, or rats nests of cables. My Android phone charges at 5V and uses less than 10Wh \/ day, which isn\u2019t a lot but I still think is atrocious for what it does. My old Nokia would run for a week on that.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found this post a few times this week because people were linking to it and joking about how ridiculous this guy is and it\u2019s just a click-bait ad to sell more Soylent 2.0 but this was the most refreshing thing I have read in the month of August. More people can take Rob\u2019s lifestyle choice as inspiration and enact this in their own life.<\/p>\n

The key issue that I have is that by RDPing into remote cloud servers, he\u2019s still having an electrical impact. It might not be a server in his home but it\u2019s probably burning fossil fuels somewhere along that pipe and the server itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Rob Rinehart\u2019s Blog: No more power blocks, wall warts, or rats nests of cables.
