Also there are ultra-popular movies about you.

However they keep messing up how you look on purpose, because since they’ve learned more about you, they think all the made-up bullshit was cooler than the real you.

My 80’s computer was (by default) bright yellow text over bright blue background.

It probably sounds quite bad. It was. You could change that with a few commands but you’d have to do it each time you boot the thing, and I didn’t bother, it was “normal” to me.

That didn’t prevent young me from spending hours copying lines of BASIC code from magazines, but it was tiring. Nowadays I’m just like, seriously, who thought that colour scheme was a good idea?

[De Beers] stating that the economics of lab-grown diamonds for jewelry were not sustainable.

“That’s cheating, we can’t throttle the market of these shiny rocks! The indistinguishable ones you need are still those we’re killing people for!”

I hope one day you can make a perfect gemstone for the cost of a burger, so people just stop caring about them at all.

That’s the same timeframe as the one used in the article, and sure, they could have made it explicit again, but implicitly it makes sense because it’s the one that’s useful for a direct comparison.

Turns out, the implicit timeframe that should be clear after reading the article was the right one, and it’s pretty damning for bitcoin as is. So again, I am not sure what point you want to make.

In 2023, Microsoft and Google consumed 48 TWh of electricity (24 TWh each).

Your point?

The data in the article was for one year. This is the same unit.
