Ask HN: What low energy software do you use?

1 points| HungSu | 2 years ago

With the rise of software that is CPU/GPU/RAM/disk expensive, I wonder what low energy software is still useful and in use today?

Low energy in absolute terms (efficient software that doesn't do complex work) or efficient – low 'power usage/workload' ratio (highly optimized software that can still use a lot of energy in very demanding workloads)?

Either I suppose, but looks like this thread didn't get any traction !
