Nice try. Thatâs clearly a bearâs egg with a face drawn on it.
Off topic: if I leave an animated gif ârunningâ on my screen am I wasting âenergyâ?
I like to watch that one potato slice on the right side magically shrink in width. Itâs mesmerizing!
Proof that potatoes love us and want us to be happy.
I thought that was shmoos.

Reminds me of the Biblical tale of the miracle of the fish and the chips that fed over 9,000.
Only if the GPU is somehow involved (I wouldnât expect it is.) Just having an animated image on the screen doesnât really use any more power than having the screen on by itself. Even when your screen is powered on but black (not in sleep mode, but like a fade to black in a movie), itâs using just as much energy as it is when itâs all 0xFFFFFF.
Now, if you have some kind of GPU acceleration for a video or image playing, then the GPU is going to kick in and work for as long as the image is running. But something like this probably wouldnât work it much harder than just keeping the desktop rendered on the screen.
PS, this is how I understand TFT displays work. I donât know if IPS or the newer LED-based screens are different.
Hay, youâre back! Welcome back!
I hope things have gone well for you, and youâve gotten your business taken care of.
Potato, the most magical and wonderful of all the vegetables.
Heh, on one of the Twitch channels I watch (and a lot of others) âpotatoâ is synonymous with âshittyâ. Someoneâs playing CS:GO and canât hit the enemy spraying point-blank? âPotato Aimâ. Dropping a ton of frames because the GPU is overheating? âIâm playing CS:GO on a potato here. Donât criticize.â
I prefer using clear bags so that I can get lots of those delicious green tatersâŚ
Hey, itâll really clean ya out.
