I did not join Lemmygrad to be linked to Occupied Korean propaganda media. What the fuck is this.

None of the other comments here are properly answering your question, so I will pitch in.

There are two layers to this.

One layer is to use one of the many power management daemons available to you. If you’re using KDE plasma, this is power-profiles-deamon by default, and it takes care of this. Gnome has its own thing. If you want something independent, you can use TLP. You shouldn’t generally use more than one at a time. Another popular option is cpupower.

What these do is tell your CPU lower its clock speed (which means your CPU will draw less power).

If you also have a dedicated GPU (for eg. Nvidia), you should make sure that it is also powered down when not in use.

So far, you’re only communicating your preferences to the CPU and the GPU. There are however, other parts of your machine that consume power, eg, your monitor, Bluetooth and wifi modules etc. To control this layer, you need something like powertop. Powertop has an auto tune feature which enforces automatic time outs for hardware modules and make sure they go to sleep.

sudo powertop --auto-tune

But once you run this, you may find that your Bluetooth mouse may go to sleep in 5 seconds of inactivity instead of a more desirable 30, so you’ll need to go back and disable specific optimizations within power top.

There are also other obvious things you can do, such as turning down monitor brightness and disabling keyboard backlight. Monitor brightness in particular is a huge power sink.

In any case, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management is your go-to source of information. There is a lot of outdated and misinformed opinions about this on the internet, particularly about Linux computers, because battery life is something that can easily be influenced by placebo.

I’ll also say that in rare cases, certain acpi kernel parameters can also help your battery life depending on your mobo, but this takes lots of experimentation to find out.

You can read live power consumption by catting out /sys/class/power/BAT0/one_of_the_files_here when not plugged in. Once you get your idle down to under 10 watts, that’s probably good enough.

Very little pay, very long, expensive training and very long hours. The shortage has meant that more people have been given more hours to work, which drains them, and many of them go into early retirement, which worsens the shortage and so on.

This is also the case with Air traffic controllers as well. And even doctors. America is crumbling from within.

So the Chinese did nothing, and won. You don’t say!

It is equally unlikely Russia would risk WW3 over Cuba.

Russia cannot meaningfully compete against American naval dominance in the Caribbean. Their navy has been in decline for so long. Russia is incapable of projecting power in Cuba. Even the Soviets were - they couldn’t and didn’t attempt to break the blockade during the Cuban missile crisis.

Only a small portion of Russian naval vessels are capable of traversing the Atlantic without refueling to Cuba in the first place. They no longer have carrier strike groups as the Soviets did. Their submarine fleet has also diminished considerably, and what’s left is needed elsewhere for the very important task of maintaining nuclear deterrence and cannot be spared. Submarines are also not offensive instruments. If a submarine makes its presence known, it is a sitting duck.

If the US decides to attack Russian escorts to Cuba, then that is reason for the warmongerers at NATO to active article 5 and attack Russia on land. And Russia is not going to win naval battles either - the offensive capabilities of the US Navy are unmatched (perhaps except by China, due to their extensive collection of anti ship missiles, but they only work near China)

Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality

This is a very, very interesting take. I have seen nobody with this opinion in my life before
