That happens here too. I walked from 3rd grade until graduating High School. Rain or shine.
I remember getting a spiffy red bike in middle school because the new school was miles away. It was sweet. Except I kept forgetting/losing the combination to my lock. I felt a little grown up when I got a lock with a key. Ha!
As for the article, that’s horrible. Part of driving is being alert and responsible for the unexpected. Arresting the parents is straight up fucked.
Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.
