It is correct about when plate tectonics theory became mainstream consensus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_Tectonics_Revolution
Thanks, I see your point. My computers are usually doing something (running servers, long-running computations, backups, downloads, etc) or they are sleeping (ie, not running up the power bill). Boot time isn’t the tedious part of restarting, it’s restoring state that isn’t saved. Anyway, I always disable auto-updates because updates change things; I want to choose when things change.
I’m surprised your PC runs hot enough to cost you so much for A/C. I doubt my computers impact my power bill very much compared to appliances, heating, charging cars, etc.
Wait, why are “normal” persons shutting down their computer on a regular basis? I tend to avoid shutting down because restarts are a tad tedious.

I noticed this when I rewatched TOS last year. In many instances it is becoming more visually jarring, as the 90s CGI is looking obviously dated.
