New blog post: Using your phone as an auxiliary computer #FrugalComputing

Here is our trailer introducing #FrugalComputing. (on-screen text in threaded post)

Finally switched to @arrow_os. @Android 11 for a Q1 2017 device with 2 GiB of RAM. Thanks to swap on top of ZRAM, I got afterlife to my ancient device. Did you know that >80% of the emissions are produced in the manufacturing process?. #FrugalComputing #CyberCirujas

Today we had the Green AI work meeting together with researchers of LNCC, PUC-Rio, UERJ and UFF 🇫🇷 🇨🇱 🇧🇷. The first of many in the area of #greenai and #frugalcomputing. Follow us 👉 Thanks to the #CLIMATAmSud regional program. @inria_chile #AIforGood

This is a very prescient article, one that will likely be ignored by many, but it highlights the unsustainability of the current production & use of computing, and calls for #frugalcomputing.

the least amount of network data transfer, memory and storage. * Make software that encourages the user to use it in a frugal way. #FrugalComputing.(2/2).

My position paper on #FrugalComputing :. #LowCarbonComputing.

My 2007 iMac is still fine, running the latest OS X. Apple wants you to upgrade, but – really – you don't have to. #frugalcomputing.

@MMOINKS @WorldofEnders That is genious! #frugalcomputing.

So my latest stupidly irritating computer issue is whether to update my 2007 iMac from 10.9 to 10.11. #frugalcomputing #damnyoupagesupdates.

Finally updated my ageing (2007) iMac to latest Mac OS X. And it works. Which is nice. But this new system font? Urgh. #frugalcomputing.

Blimey. A Mac App Store update for OS X Snow Leopard. Yeah, I still run that on an old Mac mini as a second screen. #frugalcomputing.

Here is a short (3 mins) video in which I explain the need for #FrugalComputing . #LowCarbonComputing .#NetZero.

On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and what developers can do about it. #LowCarbonComputing.#FrugalComputing.#ClimateEmergency.

"The climate cost of the AI revolution". On the energy cost of Large Language Models, what their widespread adoption could mean for global CO₂ emissions, and what could be done about it. #FrugalComputing .#LowCarbonComputing.

VR will make this many, many times worse. The only bright side is that with current technologies, there is not enough electricity in the world to power this ideal-experience VR revolution. #frugalcomputing .#climatecrisis.#metaverse.(4/4).
