Looking at the fuel efficiency table on that same website, it looks like OP used a reasonable average fuel efficiency of 30 mpg or slightly under 8L/100km:
4 miles / 30mpg = 0.13 gallons, or 0.492 liters, so their claim of half a liter of gas also checks out.
The cheapest commercial energy in the US appears to be in North Dakota at $0.0741/kWh, so using $0.05/kWh was very generous.
Just in an attempt to be a bit more accurate, let's assume the individual user's television and internet router use about 900W, so we'll use a final number of 8kW for Netflix's power use per user.
8 kW * 60 hours= 480 kWh
And the cost of all of those kWh at $0.05:
480 kWh * $0.05 = $24.00
Or, the cost in the least expensive state in the US:
480 kWh * $0.0741 = $35.57
National average is $0.14/kWh, so unless Netflix was serving everyone out of North Dakota and Texas, their average cost per user would be much closer to $70 per user.
OP's numbers were definitely already accurate enough for the point. Basically, there's no possible way Netflix needs that much electricity to serve their users.
Heroic Games Launcher works on Steam Deck, and syncs your achievements and cloud saves to GoG. The biggest downside to GoG is it requires you to use the Windows/Proton versions of your games for cloud sync to work.
Microwaves can generally reach up to nearly 3/4" in water. If heating 8oz in a glass, that should still heat the water evenly enough, since the microwaves will still mostly pass through the glass.
Heating in shorter increments and stirring in between should help avoid breaking the glass, and heat the water more evenly. If you take the time, it should be identical to kettle boiled water. That's why people prefer a kettle to a microwave, it's much faster and far less effort.
But the sister also performed that experiment in the worst possible way, why did she microwave the actual tea bag?!
It looks like it was a single voice cameo and a mobile phone commercial; I wouldn't really consider that small amount of work coming out of retirement. This will be his first actual full acting role since he retired.
Philosophically I agree with you. I was just discussing a technological way to accomplish age verification without giving up users' identities to a service provider, or the government knowing what service you're using. Unfortunately, too many governments want to know what you're doing inside your pants.
Oh, I was thinking the certificate would only be needed for signups - once the account is created, it absolutely should be on the account holder, not the service provider.
The service provider could even generate a certificate request that the age verification entity signs (again, with no identifying information, other than "I need an age verification signature, please"). That certificate would only be valid for that specific service provider and can't be re-used.
I had this exact issue with both my desktop and server. Anytime I put any sort of load on the outbound connection, the wifi would cut out. After switching to the iwd backend, I haven't had any issues.
Yeah, I almost added "and they most certainly do not" to the end of that sentence, but I was trying to underestimate a little as well.
