I don't think it's a snide joke about what people call it. I think OP has no idea that it's called Neapolitan ice cream, not Napoleon ice cream, so there's no joke at all. If it were called Napoleon ice cream, I suppose it's a joke of sorts, but not one I consider very good.

Is the cluelessness the joke or is it genuine ignorance?
It's got a picture showing it using 1.1 GB of memory, which for Windows 11 and 10 is really good, but it's also a testament to how absurdly bloated Windows is that even a stripped down version can't get under 1 GB.
It's unfair to blame the restaurant when the private equity firm that bought them deliberately stripped the restaurant's assets, hoping to rip off some later buyer. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/private-equity-rolled-red-lobster-rcna153397
Wow, two of them.
It's pretty funny. The article says that this is where money is being spent next (it implies it's government funded), but the author acts like that's a bad thing.
Unless new installations are spurred on by subsidies or power purchase agreements, oppressed profitability could eventually halt Germany's solar expansion, Schieldrop said.
Instead, focus is likely to move onto improvements that will make more use of the energy produced, such as investments in batteries and grid infrastructure.
It's wild. This guy is suggesting that they subsidize solar installation, in the exact same article where he's saying there's too much solar. Either the article is disingenuous or he's an absolute idiot.
So does it disable telemetry, remove Edge, remove all the crap from the start menu, and stop presenting Web results in start menu search?
Yes, and I don't think you're going to be able to put together any system that is better than what those have built it. I am all but certain that it's technically possible, since although the ones in a decent bulb are probably pretty good, I doubt they're that close to peak efficiency. However, just using a different wall wart one with strips is at best going to be very slightly better, and you'd need a good bit of research to find a high efficiency option, and it probably would cost more for a fairly small gain. You'd be better off spending the time and money on easy, sure-shot things, like better insulation or more efficient appliances.
It would be nice if someone worked out a centralized high efficiency AC to DC converter for all the low voltage LED lights in a house, or if you could start with DC, like solar, and convert just the voltage. There's probably a decent efficiency gain with those options, but it's not something someone is going to work out for a studio.
I don't see numbers on efficiency, but LED strips need AC to DC power supplies to operate. New ones are pretty efficient, but I don't know how you'd ensure that you're buying an efficient one.
For efficiency, buying the LED bulbs that fit standard sockets is probably the best way to go. Maybe you could get a really efficient power supply to maximize efficiency with some strips, but I doubt you'll do much better than getting regular bulbs. You're better off investing time and money into other things. Insulation is usually lacking. It sounds like you're renting so that's possibly not an option.
It would have been nice if they pointed out which part was renovated so I didn't need to scour the picture to find it.
No, that assumes that prices are based on cost, which is not true. Ads are a way to make money on top of what people will pay.
It sounds like they're using IP bans for exactly what they're meant to do.
