  There's a reason why "recycle" is at the bottom of "reduce, reuse, recycle" list. Reusing existing computers is better than manufacturing new ones, unless there's a massive efficiency gap. Especially if they're being powered by clean energy.

  The fake out around 9 minutes in, leading into the spreadsheet calculators for both long-term costs and CO2 emissions is why I appreciate your content! This is the type of information so many tech channels skim over with newer technologies, so I’m glad you care to dive into the facts.

  The 3R's - reduce, reuse, recycle. In this order. So reusing old stuff is usually better then recycling it.

  Compare n100 to Pi 5

  I'm always surprised at how anytime the topic of computer energy efficiency comes up, the focus is on wattage with the points you brought up being many times just skipped altogether. This should be a mandatory watch for anyone thinking of setting up a modest server setup.

  Noise, warmth, security is a big reason why I went for a n100. Also, the encoding on the n100 is just insane.

  Thank you for this video! I always appreciate when people don't discount the footprint of producing so many devices (with complex and harmful supply chains) that usually are destined for a landfill after 5-10 years of office use. It's easy for people to focus over minute idle wattage differences and lose the forest for the trees.

  Thanks for this video! I loved the second half when you dug deeper into calculating the 'real' cost of a new pc vs using an older less efficient one. Videos like this makes me proud to support you!

  I've been using an Intel N95 the last few months on a daily basis in a laptop. It preforms surprisingly well. Cant wait to see this chip start to replace Celerons.

  Recently, I did the same calculation for a new fridge, because my wife thought it was to old and a new one was cheaper in the long run. After measuring the the amount of kWh used for one week, it will take 7 - 8 years before break even. The conclusion was, that we will keep the fridge until it breaks. &nbsp;<br><br>I often buy refurbished computers for my mini home lab and antenna hobby. I use Debian stable, so I don´t mind to buy 2 - 3 generation old (refurbished) computers, because of driver / firmware support.

  Really love the second part of your video! Finally someone is getting numbers and counter argument. It&apos;s like people thinking that their electric car is saving the planet.<br><br>I really like your videos keep it up man!
