🧊 Ancient Persians were making ice in the desert around 400 BCE. No electricity, no moving parts.
Yakhchāls used radiative cooling (clear night sky as a heat sink), evaporative cooling from qanat water, and 2-meter-thick walls made of sarooj (sand, clay, egg whites, lime, goat hair, ash) to freeze water overnight and store it through summer. They even made faloodeh, a frozen noodle dessert people still eat in Iran today.
The word "yakhchāl" still means "refrigerator" in modern Persian.

@nekohayo @spanezz Yes, GNOME inhibits the lid switch when there's an external monitor connected
As for S3 vs S0ix, there are of course differences in the implementation but S0ix doesn't inherently waste power. Modern Standby causes problems on Windows because Microsoft actually configured it to keep an active network connection and periodically wakes the system to do background tasks like updates. We don't do that on Linux. Apple silicon (and qcom stuff) also works more like S0ix than S3
"Adform has informed affected clients through dedicated communications and provided them with relevant information and recommended actions." <- this only happened after I went public with it.
"Based on our investigation to date, we have found no evidence that the malicious code transmitted users’ IP addresses or information about the websites they visited to an external party. Technical analysis indicates that such transmission may have been possible, and this aspect remains under investigation." <- It did. The code for it is in my blog.
