I didn't say that having resources meant they should be abused. I said that if somebody can afford $150 for a RPi can afford $2.50/mo for power instead of $0.50/mo for power, and that as a result, factoring in lower power use is a poor reason for buying something you don't otherwise need, especially when that power is easily available.

If that power were coming from locally finite source such as solar or wind, or battery, it's a different story.

You know there's this little event going on called climate disruption, and that a leading cause is energy overconsumption, right?
