Does showing seconds in the Windows System Tray actually use more power?
On Windows, there's an option to show the seconds on the taskbar clock, but it comes with a warning that it might reduce battery life if you switch it on. LTT Labs decided to look into this to see just how much of a thing this really is, and they concluded that yes, it does actually affect bat

BSI mahnt: "Windows 10 wird unsicher" – rascher Wechsel nötig
Microsoft stellt zum 14. Oktober den Support für Windows 10 ein. Das BSI mahnt ein schnelles Upgrade etwa auf Windows 11 an. Eine Datensicherung sei ratsam.

As you might have guessed, I have thoughts.
TL;DR You don't need to buy a TPM module, or new hardware that has one. Keep your existing PC and replace MS Widows with a reputable GNU/Linux OS. It'll keep working for years with guaranteed software updates, and no viruses, and it'll probably run faster,

After 7 years of Early Access, I finally released my game, uFactory, for #Windows and native #Linux!
Please give it a shot if you want to support #IndieGame developers!

Why #Linux is Great (Despite the Challenges)
Linux gives you #freedom, #control, and #performance — even for #gaming. With tools like #Proton, #Wine, and #Lutris, thousands of #Windows games now run smoothly on Linux.
You get a #fast, #secure, and #customizable system without background bloat or forced #updates. Sure, setup can be tricky at first, and not every title works perfectly out of the box. But the learning curve pays off: you gain real control over your system and understand how it works.
The #community is active and helpful, and performance often matches or even beats Windows in some games. Once you're in, there's no going back.
Linux makes gaming smarter, cleaner, and yours.
Well this is cool! A migration tool for Windows refugees that installs Kubuntu and migrates all your files directly under Windows, and once it's done and a reboot later, you're in Linux! Neat
#Linux: Wer meint, wegen #WISOSteuer nicht auf #Windows verzichten zu können: Stimmt nicht! Die Web-Version funktioniert genauso gut.
Excellent projet de @frayssinet_cedric Ne jetez pas votre PC sur #Windows 10, faites en une bête de course avec le système d'exploitation Gnu/ #Linux, les parrains / marraines présents sur cette carte peuvent vous aider.

Ever since I switched to #GNU #Linux in my private life, using #Windows at work gives me near-daily headaches. I have full admin rights, yet I constantly fight the system: forced updates, inconsistent behavior, sluggish UI, weird errors buried in the registry.
I used to think this was just how #computers worked. But after experiencing the #freedom and clarity of #FOSS, Windows feels more like an obstacle than a tool.
Going back feels wrong.

I wonder how differently #retrocomputing history would have gone if #Microsoft had developed a 32-bit multitasking #MSDOS.
#Windows certainly would have been different if it ran on top of such a thing.
There is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS_4.0_(multitasking) but it's not 32-bit, and good luck running multiple programs with only 640kB of memory.
