Do you take into account the energy consumption of the water treatment plant and active filtration for manufacturing chips such as CPUs? How much water must be pumped through this system to get sufficiently pure water?
Do you take into account the power consumption of the air filtration system and active filtering for manufacturing chips such as CPUs? How much air must be pumped through this system to get enough fresh air?
Do you take into account the power consumption of the silicon purification plant and active filtering for manufacturing chips such as CPUs? How much silicon must be pumped through such a system to obtain sufficiently pure silicon?
Pay attention, we only talked about the basic blocks.
Do you have any idea how much energy it costs to build a production line of CPUs? How much do these consume when production is in progress? How much power is used to test CPUs to classify them into i3, i5, i7, and i9?
Compare this consumption to the actual consumption of a fairly old CPU and you will find that the efficiency of the new CPU is quite disappointing.
However, as an end user, you don't see that on your electricity bill, so these things don't exist. However, Mother Nature suffers damage.
Anyway, you are talking about making money using a computer. Do you also take into consideration that the task of making money takes time? And I don't just mean the time needed to perform the task, but also the time that must be spent resetting a new computer by someone, because the results of the task must remain as reliable with new hardware as with old hardware.
You might think that's for sure. Computer manufacturers also sell them this way. But once you try and test it, you'll discover that this is often not the case.
So editing takes up the time of a highly paid person, who could have made more money at the time by adding more tasks/improving tasks on the slightly older computer.
If you've ever worked with gas suppliers, you would have figured this out a long time ago. That old “garbage” in your eyes, has already been modified in such a way that one can trust that the right amount of gas is being supplied in the right amount (the energy value of gas depends on a lot of variables). Pumping gas through homes costs money, but the energy value matters a lot to the final bill. The less time has to be spent on this, the cheaper it is for the gas supplier. Much cheaper even. Those few extra uses for that old computer? This means less rounding error in the overall picture.
The reason you should focus on saving is something the British say perfectly: “Penny is wise, pound is fool.”
This was just one example, there are many others.
