I wish I had a decent explanation. But instead, I have Windows 11’s shiny new Taskbar configuration menu that politely warns me that showing seconds on the clock takes more power. Right under the “Show Copilot” button.
These fucks are fucked.
Does it actually tell you that seconds on the clock takes more power?
Edit: Lol it actually says "(uses more power)"
But ads do not, so don't worry!
They are like a big coal-rolling tractor trailer rumbling past somebody on an e-bike and shaking their finger at you because you could be pedaling right now to save minuscule amounts of energy.
Telling others to conserve is free. They themselves conserving could potentially mean less money!
First time I read in windows update "we are commited to reduce co2 emissions" I was like "wtf".
Reminder that because the Windows 11 taskbar is slower and buggier than the Windows 10 taskbar, it uses much more power due to the extra CPU cycles.
