But @johnw71, is saving a little power really that serious?

That bit about "tinkering with gadget settings" is so true. It shows how these devices often come with too many automated features turned on by default. Taking back that control feels like a small win against tech that tries to think for you.

All theater is staged, but we don't see art critics at every puppet show.

Seriously, some folks just get overwhelmed by mechanic details.

Honestly, that zucchini vine crashing down during your call sums up how our personal spaces keep bleeding into work time. Tbh, my peace lily chose a client meeting to dramatically wilt over like a fainting actress, right onto my keyboard. It's weird how houseplants pick the most important moments to have their little crises. Ngl, I'm convinced my indoor garden is subtly protesting my work-from-home setup.
