Most pc users are using laptops, yes. Above 60%.

Even offices usually give people laptops over desktops so that they can bring it to meetings.

I wonder if we will see more DC grids. You can get a decent 5 - 20% efficiency improvement out of it as most end user devices are DC now.

Might be most devices by count, but certainly not by power consumption. EVs are the only major appliance that’s DC, and most people don’t even have them.

No theyre saying that since that day everyone has given up and nothing matters anymore. We all collectively decided that it is OKAY and didnt change a single thing since.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

A thousand bots can spread a thousand lies faster than we can dispell them, but giving up the public square to them is worse.

What a situation...

I think their point is that most peoole aware of the time period know child labour in factories was prominent, especially thanks to Dickens and other authors, so most would guess or be unsurprised to find these cable factories employed children.

It is and it isnt. The more goals a design has the harder it is to achieve all of them well.
