Nah mine draw less than 10 watts at idle, unless you're constantly loading the cpu you're not going to see even 25 watts.

I've got three different sff desktop units running various apps on them. If you look around you can usually find the tiny form factor business desktops from Dell, HP, and Lenovo used and a few years old for under 100 bucks a piece. The most expensive of the three I bought was a Dell with a 9600t for 90 bucks about a year and a half ago.
I used to work with a couple Czech dudes. One day my coworkers and I were badgering the one dude to tell us a Czech joke. He was pretty reluctant because he said he could only really think of one joke but wasn't sure it would translate well. When he finally told us the joke he got us with this masterpiece.
Two balloons are floating along, one says to the other and hey look a cactus.
All of us were confused by this, he told us it was much funnier in Czech because balloon and cactus sound similar so it's a pun. So we had him tell us the joke untranslated in Czech and balloon and cactus sound nothing alike.
I'm still not sure if this dude was fucking with us.
My NAS is on an embedded Xeon that at this point is close to a decade old and one of my proxmox boxes is on an Intel 6500t. I'm not really running anything on any really low spec machines anymore, though earlyish in the pandemic I was running boinc with the Open Pandemics project on 4 raspberry pis.
I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.
I bought a Grandstream GWN7660 last year and it seems pretty good, it replaced a ubiquity WAP that I still have legacy devices connected to.
I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.
There's a reason Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker were both running in 2022.
It's also the same gesture he uses when talking about Arnold Palmer, it can get confusing.
Y'all remember when we found out all the AI in the walkout Amazon grocery stores was just a bunch of dudes in an Indian call center watching cameras? That would be hilarious if this was the same, some random dude in India sshs into this dude computer then gets annoyed about it if date packages on the system and it spirals from there.
I'd just like to point out the rumor from the Steele dossier wasn't that Trump got peed on by prostitutes it's that he paid them to pee on a bed that the Obamas had once slept in which is somehow weirder to me.
Yeah it definitely a good option depending on your local used market and or what you can find on eBay.
