I would buy this for the packaging alone, is it available in the UK?

I sunk some time into the first one but ended up not getting much past the halfway mark I don't think. Tsushima felt more traditional structurally, main quest + side stuff. Whereas Yotei is like there are 6 bad dudes, where do you want to go? That choice might be illusory but it's very effective.

Loving all the little survival mini game stuff using the controller features.
Also the way new information about the yotei 6 is blended into the natural pacing of the game, NPC dialogue when you camp etc, is so effortless and smart.

We have a levoit 400s, it is fine. Official replacement filters are extortionate, unofficial ones are pretty reasonable, not entirely sure what the difference is.

Managed to shave off another 30% energy use by getting the laptop to sleep overnight automatically with some Linux service files I don't understand. Would be neat if I could control suspend directly from home assistant, sleep when the house is empty etc.

..This obviously doesn't account for any of the privacy advantages of local, but it was surprising to me that a little laptop running a light OS is completely outclassed on efficiency by a giant data centre. Unless there's some other way to get that idling wattage figure way down 🤔.

.. After doing a bit of research into the equivalent energy consumption of an Amazon echo and it's cloud infrastructure I discovered that for various reasons it's still waaaay more efficient than this local laptop setup..

..Also yes! After learning how to install Linux and then install docker all over again (double ouch). This amazing nearly halved the power draw to 18w, still not as crazy efficient as a raspberry pi (5w), but respectable, and the voice commands were much more responsive and supported more queries..

.. The answer was yes! After learning how to set up docker containers (ouch), but the laptop was running a now unsupported version of windows and using 30w of power while idling. Time for a second rabbit hole: can I dual boot Linux mint xfce that is much lighter to get any power savings?..
