That is high for a laptop. I have a PC, its fanless which helps, but it runs maybe 15w idle with display shut down, and 23w if graphics display is active. 45 watts if I'm rendering video. Your 120w might be the battery charging at max maybe?

I guess I was lucky my UPS batteries lasted 10 years. The last year their charge capability dropped off fast, and one was starting to bulge. Not Lithium though, just LeadAcid, so more of a leak hazzard than fire hazzard

Not all SD cards are created the same, but also make sure you add "temp to RAM" setup so the constant tmp writes are not burning out the card.

Maybe more snobby British like Ahhhch

Newpipe seems to be working fine.

So you thought you'd double down. Interesting. You provided so much reading material, yet it was more important at the time to address the personal attack strawman you were building. This is not a debate tactic, it is a hostile troll tactic. If you can't debate like an intelligent person so you resort to insults and allegations then it is not worth my time. Life it too short to deal with negative trolls.

I picked up a Devinci St Tropez Hybrid, decades back, for commuting. If I recall it may have had 700c x 35 on it when I got it, but I had put narrower on later for more street riding, and kept a set of winter studded knobby tires for snow and mud rides. Steering geometry is steep enough/less trail than some casual bikes. It makes riding no hands on the street (when you want to rest your hands) kind of an unstable situation, as it wanta to turn at the slightest road or body change. But overall It's been a fun bike.

A lot of assumption/projection there dude. I am by no means upset.

Add Stract.com it is a little behind in web crawling of current info, but the results are like how google used to be around 2010. Just relevant content info, no ads (yet) and occasional randomness

Yeah, I was kidding because of the fires, but you are correct. Teslas, when driven hard, eat through tires. All that torque needs grip, and so the tires are a grippy compound which typically equates to higher wear. A few friends bought them (before Elon showed his true colours), when they first got them and did the acceleration run with each eager passenger the tires were bald in no time.
