If you care to minimize Standby power “comfortably”, usually libraries or power companies will let you borrow an AC Power Meter free of charge.
You can use that to inspect your various devices Standby Power. For example I have an amplifier that pulls nearly 15W in standby, since finding out it lives on a smart plug.
However my TV pulls less than 1W, and at that point I prefer the convenience of just being able to use the remote to turn it on.
(Also keep in mind with the smart plug solution that the plug itself will pull a little bit of power too, this will pretty much always be <1W though.)
If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven’t done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.
It’s not a full car or even entertainment system, but comma.ai is an opensource autonomous driving software. Last time I looked into this was a few years ago, but basically for most newer cars you can rip out the adaptive cruise control, and effevtively replace it with autonomous driving. Either powered by certain supported phones or dedicated hardware.
In that case you can try adding before:2023

I really enjoyed Tetris (2023). The story was super riveting and I also really liked the soundtrack (mostly just “modernized” Tetris music).
I absolutely loved Splatoon 2, especially the DLC. It’s such a shame that you have to pay for online battles though.
Here’s a similar question, my answer should also be relevant to your question.
As for Switch emulation, yuzu still runs great, with many playable games on the deck. If you don’t have the AppImage or Flatpak already, make sure to get it from a reputable source.
Edit: Or, if you’re lazy, just use Ryujinx (also available in EmuDeck).
While I do mostly agree with your statement, it’s incredibly annoying when I type in a local IP for my router or server and it automatically gets turned into https.
I have bots on and it’s mostly ever these two.
There are still reddit repost bots, but they are all on reddit repost instances. As I have those like two or three instances blocked, I don’t see any of them.
There’s a lemmy profile setting whether to show bots, you probably have that turned off.
Soumds like revolt might be interesting to you.
Streaming, especially video, is quite challenging and expensive. The fact that discord’s video streaming was so cheap was always somewhat suspicious.
I believe WhatsApp needs the mobile app to connect to WhatsApp’s servers at least once every two weeks.
I think your best bet would be getting the cheapest phone you can find that will run a recent WhatsApp version, and then just leaving that at home connected to the internet. You could then use any WhatsApp web client (the website, some app, a matrix bridge, …) to actually use WhatsApp on the go.
I’m on both, the one friend I message on matrix conveniently also hosts our instance.
Nowadays I very rarely use discord (only for server voice channels, because it’s just better). The few chats I still have on discord are bridged into matrix.
For many of my friends it was easier moving them to Signal though instead of matrix.
While it’s not at the same level as Graphene OS, Samsung is pretty well supported by Lineage OS. AFAIK at least in Europe Samsung phones have an unlockable bootloader, but YMMV.
AFAIK a lot of the tech that they show off also isn’t actually theirs, it gets sent to them for unboxing / showcasing and then they have to send it back.
Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube emulator) sounds like something for you.
MineTest should also fit your criteria.
I believe there are a few games on F-Droid, I haven’t tried any of them tho. Other than that, I believe the best games for you would be Wii games or an older console. Possibly also switch (with yuzu if you find an apk), but that requires a beefy phone.
Although it probably doesn’t matter in this case, it’s worth noting that your hub/dock and all connected accessories use power from your charger too. For example my laptop reports my 65w charger as 45w with my USB-C dock in between.
In your case this could mean your deck only getting 30W, which would be fine for less demanding games, but with a full load could mean barely charging / not charging at all.
Same! I’m lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn’t worth it.
