No, they're almost entirely unrelated. Almost all CPUs will idle close to 0 W (with correctly working drivers). The main idle power contribution comes from the mainboard and other devices (e.g. disks). The Mini PCs you mentioned should have a very low total idle power, probably below 10W.

Check out Wolfgang on YouTube, he has some great videos on the topic: https://youtu.be/Ppo6C_JhDHM

Sure, but those are completely different approaches. Dams have the advantage that they have a much larger capture area for water and that they can accelerate the water beyond the 10 m/s terminal velocity of raindrops.

Raindrop energy harvesting is a rubbish idea. The raindrops simply don't have a meaningful amount of energy to begin with: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36907674

The driver should already be installed but there seems to be an issue with brltty registering the corresponding USB ID when they shouldn't. You can probably fix it by following this guide: https://koen.vervloesem.eu/blog/how-to-stop-brltty-from-claiming-your-usb-uart-interface-on-linux/ (or this one: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/670637)

Edit: Perhaps this has since been fixed in Mint 21 / Ubuntu 22.04.

This "new law" was passed more than a year ago... But, it's still a step in the right direction.

Jeder der nicht exakt der gleichen Meinung ist sofort ein Atomtroll?

Ich würde den Atomausstieg nicht auf ein Einziges Jahr beziehen, sondern auf einen Prozess der gut 20 Jahre gedauert hat. Wikipedia scheint das ähnlich zu sehen:

In Deutschland begann der Atomausstieg unter der ersten rot-grünen Bundesregierung (Kabinett Schröder I) mit der „Vereinbarung zwischen der Bundesregierung und den Energieversorgungsunternehmen vom 14. Juni 2000“. 2002 wurde der Vertrag („Atomkonsens“) durch Novellierung des Atomgesetzes rechtlich abgesichert.[120] In der Folge wurden am 14. November 2003 das Kernkraftwerk Stade (640 MW)[121] und am 11. Mai 2005 das Kernkraftwerk Obrigheim (340 MW)[122] endgültig abgeschaltet.

dass Deutschland auch vor dem Atomausstieg nur einen einstelligen Prozentsatz des Stroms aus den Atomkraftwerken gedeckt hat. Es

Hast du eine Quelle dazu? Der Anteil war vor 2000 wohl bei knapp 30% der Stromerzeugung: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-elec-by-source?country=~DEU

I understood Matthew's position as "this should be discussed in the Workstation WG first", not as a "no":

in favor of the process outlined above (tl;dr: talk to the Workstation WG, and if that does not come to a satisfying outcome, file a Council ticket for next possibilities).

It also seemed more likely that they would promote KDE without demoting Gnome.

But was there a follow-up on that (e.g. in the Workstation WG)?

Given that Fedora is a distro that aims to be on the frontier of new features and technologies, the inclusion of KDE seems like a much better fit than Gnome.

Of course it was patched in all affected Debian versions: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-0160

The article says they are aiming for 1W in the next couple of years, which can probably do it.

They won't magically improve the power density by three orders of magnitude. They're just trying to defraud their investors.

Unfortunately, more sustainable (e.g. organic) farming practices generally do not reduce greenhouse-gas emissions [1]. The main issue is that these methods reduce crop yields and thus have a higher land use.
