No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

When you connect an external display to your laptop, the graphics processing unit (GPU) has to work harder to manage both the laptop’s built-in display and the external one. This increased workload requires more power.
The GPU must render the images, videos, and other visual elements on both screens, and in some cases, it might need to render different content on each. This extra processing effort consumes more energy.
Additionally, the external display might require the laptop to send power via the connection, depending on the type of connection used (such as HDMI or USB-C). This would also contribute to a faster battery drain.
Together, these factors lead to a higher energy consumption, which will cause the laptop’s battery to deplete more quickly than when using the laptop’s display alone.
In most cases only the first one applies. Rarely ever see monitors that aren’t powered independently. Also sounds like chatgpt wrote this.
Edit: apparently everyone skipped over the part where I said I rarely see them
They exist but they are rare. Most of them are USB powered small monitors.
If you're connecting your laptop to an external display it's usually via a hub/dock (powering your laptop too, making battery drain irrelevant) unless you're connecting it to a display in eg. a meeting room without connecting power separately and then GPU load matters
I'm having a 15" mobile external monitor for my business trips, which is powered through my laptop. At least for those mobile displays, this is quite typical. Often you just need one USB C convention for power and video
