Not so sure the difference ripping a disk would make unless you have a super insulated room, but CPU heat is very much a consideration. Each summer I keep contemplating moving my rack with ~100 cores to the basement only to be dissuaded by the dampness and cable runs.

It's a tired tale, someone throws a few rusty old rockets towards Israel that land in a cow field, so it gives carte banche to level everything withing a couple hundred miles for 'defensive purposes'.

The rise of check cards and normalizing paying for everything on plastic was a big tipping point. There's even a Monopoly game that uses electronic cards these days. It lets activity tracking run rampant and of course the banks get to skim a fee off everything.

Franky I see it as having nothing to do with fiscal responsibility (can't overspend the cash on hand) and more just a way to funnel more to those with means than anything. It's funny how cash advances on cards charge a higher rate than purchases despite neither offering a security interest to the card issuer.
