They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

By the way, the earlier posted article https://restoreprivacy.com/protonmail-discloses-user-data-leading-to-arrest-in-spain had an update starting at the paragraph with title Update: Statement from Proton and additional commentary

• Make a screen shot of your desktop
• Check with a viewer and see no EXIF data
• Load it in gThumb to use its crop feature, crop and save
• Check again with a viewer and see that gThumb added EXIF data including the gThumb version

In the mean time I've started to use other software to crop screen shots but I am still puzzled why gThumb always adds EXIF data ?

The major takeaways of this work are:

(1) For specific workloads, clusters of repurposed phones are cheaper and more carbon efficient than traditional servers.

(2) More broadly, scavenging unwanted equipment shows excellent potential for building economic and carbon-efficient systems, especially when renewable energy is plentiful.

(3) Sustainability has operational and manufacturing facets; manufacturing dominates as operating trends towards zero with cleaner energy mixes.

(4) Accurate LCA information is essential for carbon-based analyses; it would be beneficial if more ICT manufacturers published this information, including cloud providers who build custom systems. Our work highlights the need for more holistic analyses of the environmental impact of computing. With the substantial carbon cost of manufacturing and the difficulties of responsible recycling, the energy efficiency of a device may be the least significant component of its environmental and human impact.
