FOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power managementFOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power managementPosted Feb 13, 2009 23:45 UTC (Fri) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: FOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power management by giraffedata Parent article: FOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power management
saving 10w of power saves ~1KWH of power (currently running between$0.10 and $0.30) every 4 days. so over a year of your computer being idle you could save between $10 and $30. (although if your computer sits idle for an entire year you could save a lot more money by not buying it in the first place)
so I don't buy that saving the electricity is an end in itself.
for portable devices that reduction in power can mean that your battery lasts much longer, which is the thing that you really care about.

But what are you responding to? This thread doesn't say anything about saving electricity being an end in itself. Your post does, however, reinforce the parent post, by showing reason to save electricity without any reference to the baseline usage.

You both understand each other. Don't do this.
FOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power management Posted Feb 14, 2009 17:38 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] You both understand each other. Au contraire. I'm completely mystified by dlang's post, in its context, and I think that may be because he completely misread mine. And you apparently read something into my most recent post that wasn't there as well.

I think it's obvious where you're both misunderstanding each other, and think if you'd step back and think for a moment you could either stop or have a pleasant conversation. If you require someone to draw you charts and graphs, I don't think I have time for that right now.

It looks like I've been misunderstood more than once.
