would like to know about the scrape content of these castles /j

unless you screen is OLED, dark-mode has no or zero impact on battery usage, maybe even non-significant impact on OLEDs

HP Envy does have OLED screen options. I'd assume it's what they have, if they thought dark mode was relevant.

Don't most LCD screens have localised dimming of the backlight these days?

Not laptops. Local dimming zones look awful when you have a white cursor moving around, so it's mostly still just a TV-feature

Looking awful has not prevented local dimming from becoming quite common on laptops. Apple has been doing an okay job of it in the MacBook Pro for several years. Lots of Windows laptops have been very hit-or-miss about it, but at least with those you often have an OLED option. I've seen multiple Windows laptops from more than one OEM where opening a terminal window with light text on a dark background means you can easily spot a single line of text getting much dimmer toward the center of the dark window, and lighter near the perimeter where it's close to other light content. And that's for static content; as you mentioned motion can bring more problems as the backlight lags behind the LCD.

so why not offer season passes and lootboxes for special UI on interfaces? /j

then your next step is to cite research from the guy who used to hunt elephants in Africa and it's the heirs of a multi-million livestock industry, doing TED talks about the topic meanwhile no independent or state funded research except their organization could replicate the findings over the decades?

What happened to US grasslands when eliminating the majority of the ruminants from those lands? What has happened to the grassland reserves for Buffalo in MT since re-introducing and growing said populations?

you type like using land from semi-deserts isn't destroyed for meat production...

you need to plant, fertilize and apply pesticides to maintain grass! or do you think grass with sometimes 60% of protein per gram grows out of nowhere? or that the global grain production, which more than 85% goes into feeding livestock that it's sometimes 20 times less efficient to produce the same quantity of protein, can't be distributed to the population?

Ranches in Montana and Texas definitely do none of those things. It's native grass, running about 1 cow per acre. Fertilizer and pesticide for an acre would be way more expensive than the profit on 1 cow per acre.

I'm focusing on the following premise;

> if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure

Not only do I think professional have a chance to be as good as amateurs, but the elite professionals are on average better than the elite amateurs.

I do think that we would be better off if more elite amateurs became elite professionals.

should i repeat my comment and link the free document i doubt you read, again? modern software infrastructure runs on "folks that do it for the pleasure"

I did read it and I agree with the sentiment, but disagree that professionals have no chance to reach the level of amateurs.

Modern software infrastructure also relies on a lot of professionals.
