Keeping in mind of course that the Daily Record is a 'tabloid' which means it depends are articles generating traffic based on the alarmism. Certainly the author of the referenced piece steps right up on that goal.
Of course companies spin their marketing materials to look good. If a marketing department didn't do that then they should all be fired.
As with every other release that I have seen of green power they use a simple equation of 'green power max'/('total power' - 'green power max') to get the percentage being created.
That is never correct since it does not account of sustained power produced and peak power usage at all. Following is fairly decent although data is somewhat old.
Renewable energy in Scotland - Wikipedia[^]
I didn't do a deep dive but the only sustainable source I saw on the list was hydro.
And far as I can tell there is no storage at all. Only plans for it. Which means comparisons between Scotland usage and Scotland generation is absolutely pointless because they are selling a lot of that green power to other countries.

I installed Windows 11 about 15 days back, and I notice that the battery usage in Win 11 is more draining than that in Win 10. I have set "Battery Saver" on; even then the battery drains out faster than it did in Win 10. For the same kind of work.
Have any of you noticed this, and is there any remedy, suggestion? (Other than reverting to Win 10 )

Yes, it's fine - my second Surface after my Pro 3.
Not as fast as my desktop, but I never expected it would be.

I've had a bad experience with mine. We all did - the company issued about 200 SPs all died in a span of a few months after about 2 years of service. My personal unit also give up after 3 years. Didn't "explode" like the company one but is barely usable (no touch screen and cooling anymore).
Also, the screen size is unusable for development (at least for me) and it's getting hot and noisy really fast. And the sucker is expensive. For this kind of money, you could get Dell XPS.

They must have used the Surface Pro 4, which had a faulty power design that caused the batteries to prematurely wear out.

Did you get a computer with a genuine Microsoft Windows 11 battery? (yes joke.)

All genuine, the battery from the corner shop and Windows 11 CDs from another corner shop ๐ฎ๐ค.

I'd check task master to see what's busy ... that's why I removed Chrome ... too "busy" when I didn't even have a browser open. I question anything that "runs" when I'm not using it (and may "end task" it, or remove it completely). Know your running tasks.

Thanks. It was Skype which was running. Ended the Skype task, and things are better now. Thanks once again.
