minus-squareflames5123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·3 months agoIf they’re not looked at, they don’t consume as much electricity. So there’s that difference.
minus-squareIonAddis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-23 months agoIf you have your back to them, they don’t emit light either! Edit: Well, reflections, for you with the FANCY GPUs…
minus-squareflames5123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 months agoExactly what I thought while I was commenting that. The reflections are what made me rewrite it 😅
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoThat depends on how the game does reflections. In some games they have a mirrored room with an identical but different light for the reflection.
minus-squareJolteon@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoThe problem with those virtual lamps is that when you look away, the light turns off but the heat doesn’t.
minus-squareBlanketsWithSmallpox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 months agoVirtual lights are real lights…

minus-squarecholesterol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·3 months agoStrictly speaking, reflected light isn’t ‘emitted’. A mirror isn’t an emitter of light either.
minus-squareChrobin@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoPhotons get absorbed and then re-emitted. I’d argue that counts as emission as it’s one part of the reflection process.
