The only way Im aware of is if you do it thru Settings > Cellular and always use data for internet on your phone

Horizontal integration

Its not like there can't be exceptions or carveouts. Its disastrous to treat that as representative of every dynastic transfer of accumulated wealth

Would you mind sharing some of your findings?

I wish I was remotely closer to being this kind of hacker :(

I believe in you.

For the cellular data issue, you can set a SIM pin so when the device is turned off and on, they need you to enter the pin to access cellular data

But it only asks for the pin on boot which probably isn't that helpful

Sure it is, shut down the phone when its "quitting time" and then if they turn it back on, thats ok, internets disabled

How is their commute relevant? If they are WFH, theres less people needing to commute. Thats less fuel or more efficient fuel economy for public transport to use

Yes but we are offsetting their lack of commute (being public transport, a small impact anyway) with having to heat many more houses.

Most energy goes into making up for the temperature delta. If you turn the heating down, the delta at either evening or morning goes up.

Note, some people even think that would take even more energy in total per day, but that's not correct because a cooler house doesn't emit as much energy as a warmer one.


I would hazard a guess that (x houses @ minimal heating + x amount of petrol burned during a commute + emissions from heating an office) > whatever amount of emissions x houses would generate going from minimal heating to comfortable heating.

Honestly, its overkill. When my MaBook went kaput, i had to start doing everything on my iPhone. Had to get a good mobile documents office suite (Collabora is great ), do all my banking with both mobile apps or desktop browser apps, etc. Its been dfine, i doubt i would use a full size computer for that anymore.

Have you ever tried bluetooth wearables like the Bose SoundWear? Off topic but they are awesome

Sounds like a win-win. Rich people win then they double dip and win again
