All this stuff is funny!! My first computer was a Commodore 64. I
think it was named that because it had 64k of RAM.... Remember that one
could be extended with a tape drive and or flappy. I'm not sure if I
had a flappy....
Around that time I went into a business that was using a Commodore 64.
Maybe that is all we needed?
I do not recall the Gov regulating it because of all the power it had
for that period.....
The next year I bought a garage clone that had a 8088 - 8 bit CPU and
1MB of RAM of which 640k was addressable. Yikes what a power hungry
beast...

If you think little Johnny playing fort nite is going to be the
deciding factor versus China producing more pollution than all other
developed nations combined I would disagree. But if you are war
hawking here and trying to bait us into a pollution debate so you can
get everyone to do the whole “war with China thing…” then you
got my reply and I admit I got baited.

Allow me to change the headline of this article to...
"Six States Responsible Enough to Limit Computer Power Consumption"
Anyone prioritizing their video game performance over the
starvation,
water wars, crop failures, climate refugees, underwater cities,
deserts
replacing farmland, and normalization of cat 5 hurricanes that will
surely come if we don't handle this situation correctly, is an
ethical
cripple.
And anyone, who just has to have that superburner computer, of an
age
not likely to live until 2060 is just borrowing on a future they
know
they won't repay.
And it's not like you can't wait 4 years and have a computer using a
couple hundred wats that performs like today's 1000 watt gargantuan.
