I recently installed an electricity usage monitor on my home server and it made me realize something I knew but never consciously acknowledged: every action I take has an associated cost, however small.
Playing a game adds about 600W of consumption. That means a three hour gaming session runs about 0,63 €. It’s obvious, but I’ve had some form of PC on 24/7 nearly my entire life, so I never truly thought about it.
