Is this talking about stuff like private torrent trackers and Usenet providers, or are there more Netflix-like things out there that people are paying for?

@ uno onlineI often use a wall or ceiling exhaust fan while cooking. Open windows and/or exterior doors to improve air flow through the kitchen.

TWeaK, to upliftingnews in Because of innovations in LED technology, the amount of electricity used for lighting is down drastically

And yet LED bulbs run very hot and burn out in 5-10 years, more or less the same as older bulbs. All because manufacturers intentionally over-volt their circuits.

Bonehead,

Obviously, you don't remember having to change out incandescent bulbs...

lemming741,

It’s a capitalistic race to the bottom.

Big Clive did a video on “Dubai” lamps that run cooler to last longer.

hemko,

Yeah, because everyone loves brighter and cheaper bulbs that still have reasonable lifespan. And 5-10 years is quite a generous estimate for incandescent light bulb… That’s 50-100 hours a year. LEDs are rated for some 15-50x longer lifespan and you can easily shop lamps for longer lifespan or brightness or price

What do you mean? Incandescent bulbs burned out over a period of months not years

Drusas, to cooking in How to Minimize Indoor Air Pollution When Cooking at Home

Then there's me: torn between wanting to use the hood to vent and my fear of the noise it makes (misophonia).

silence7,

Get therapy for the noise fear and use the hood.

Drusas,

Misophonia is actually a physical thing rather than psychological. Mostly, anyway. I have improved it a lot through exposure therapy, but it still hurts when I hear certain sounds. I can use the vacuum now! Mostly. Slow and steady.

silence7,

Was not aware.

There are quieter hoods out there - lots which are a lot quieter than a typical vacuum cleaner. Tough to choose if you’re a renter though.

Drusas,

Yeah, apparently evidence is suggesting that it's an impairment of the central nervous system. Still not a ton of research done on it yet.

I didn't know there were quieter hoods out there, though. I'll look into that. I even have a quieter-than-normal garbage disposal. These little things can make a big difference.

I can’t read the article through the paywall but the teaser is light on technical data. I feel like this should be huge news, everywhere, as a huge success for the climate
