I have kids, they don’t turn their games off. They leave them running on one screen with YouTube playing nonstop on another screen while they’re watching ticktock on their phone in a different room. This is not an exaggeration.

That's just because their parents didn't teach them to value energy conservation.

No, no… it’s the kids that are wrong. The kids!

It's never too late, buddy

If any kids think they're pulling that shit with my OLED monitor, they're in for a rude awakening.

Screen burn-in, that's a paddlin'.

That's your fault for not using a Screensaver dude.

Windows95 has some sweet ones built in if your using that.

I also used to just keep my computer running like that. 5,400 RPM SMR HDD is something (why did HP think that was a good idea in 2020).

For real, they'll leave their phone farming in Roblox and wonder why their battery is always dead.
