While Katy Perry is going to space for fun, Windows is asking me to lower my refresh rate

    While they and other big tech companies push AI that consumes a lot more power and it’s even more useless.

    You didn’t kiss the ground, that’s why you fucking peasant.

    Disable trajectory, disable Ai , disable forced updates to conserve energy.

    Edit :LMFAO I meant to say tracking. My phone autocorrected my word.

    Am I the only one who has zero problem with the Katy Perry space thing? The more access we have the space the better and despite the I’m out of fuel it takes to get up into space, which seems astronomical when you look at it as a single event, one of her concert tours has way the fuck more carbon emissions tied to it then this trip did. Hell, if vapid celebrities want to fund competition in the space exploration field it’s not where I’m going to focus my environment ire.

    While I am never going to tell anyone to not try to do better in their daily routine, watching the world go down in flames regardless of my actions makes it really fucking hard to care all the time.

    M$ can kiss my whole ass on things like this.

    As long as washed up celebrities use their private jets to fly all over the world to lecture me on why I can’t shower longer than 5 minutes, I really couldn’t care less about the environment.

    Pay for a 180Hz monitor just to run it at 60Hz?

    Yeah, think I’ll pass!

    if you check related links there’s option to pick “i am katy perry” and “i am taylor swift” and it will then acknowledge you’re exempt for power saving and never ask you again in the future, and if you dig deeper it may offer you a related link to leak sex tape and make you world famous billionaire by 2030

    Posting a gif so that your pc has to work harder to display this website + increasing internet traffic.

    It barely even saves anything unless you always enable vsync in games. 3W difference with my monitor from 60 to 144

    This is the same Microsoft that is forcing capable windows 10 computers, which are not allowed by Microsoft to be upgraded 11, to be decommissioned and thrown in the trash.

    We are talking about millions and millions of computers turning into e-waste soley because of Microsofts hardware limitations on windows 11.

    Windows can suck my 540hz monitor all day all night, it will never lower my refresh rate.

    Didn’t you know? Baby, she’s a firework.

    The logic is:

    -if you have an average economy and you are unimportant, YOU MUST SAVE THE PLANET.

    -If you are rich, do whatever you want and have a daily carbon footprint equal to 1000 average families…per year

    Nice examples of this:

    Katy Perry and her massive tits in space for some reason.

    Taylor Swift flying from one point of the planet to the other because she forgot a lipstick.

    So yes, lower your refresh rate or else polar bears wont have a place to hunt.

    If only macs came with touchscreen and had VS22

    This is part of why I swapped to linux. I wouldn’t recommend most people swap, but I really like it.

    Fedora 41, KDE Plasma spin

    Bro this is literally hidden 3 layers deep in the settings app, I didn’t even know this option existed until you made this post complaining about it.

    Nobody asked for this crap. All Windows has to do is run my programs. M$ keep making the OS worse with each update.
