Scanline Media. Plural. Awoo.

Hi, we're Jennifer! And Aster! Feel free to refer to us with either name, or both.

We're the co-editor/co-host of Scanline Media and its various podcasts, but we also host Novel Not New: A True End Podcast at readinggames.online! Feel free to ask us anything, as long as you're polite about it.


With Windows laptops (even laptops made by third parties) all integrating AI to the OS level, and Apple (purportedly) preparing to do the same thing, it feels like everyone is taking a sledgehammer to their climate goals and pushing us even faster towards climate collapse. All for an embarrassing technology that will never be as good as its evangelists claim.

You know this would be a fun question to pose to Apple in particular, because they've started incorporating the actual power usage of the devices they manufacture in their climate goals math, as well as their own data centers. If they do what's rumored and use a third party GPT service like Gemini or ChatGPT for some of their features they're announcing this year, it's fully appropriate to ask if they're calculating that into their climate goals.
