Here is a charity called "one laptop per child"

I would like to do something similar but for "gaming" laptops.

I would buy the cheapest gaming laptops that has both a GPU and SSD and is fully in stock, such as the one below and give them out for free

First, get a job.

Intel, with their xe2 tech based igpus, fast ddr5 ram, and XEss scaling tech, May we'll be on the verge of producing power:efficient gaming PCs.


What about internet?

 

[Gizmo j]

Maybe I'll go to my old elementary school and give every kid a gaming laptop.

 

[Red Squirrel]

You'll need a job for that first... a very high paying one.

I would buy all the properties around you and fill it with coriander plants

I'd build and launch satellites into space with sun blocking shields to block all of the sun on those properties... Being a multi billionaire and all.

I will repurpose the satellite to follow you around so that no sunlight will reach a 100 meter radius around you.

Can I sign up for this service?

 

[Red Squirrel]

They do have the opposite service, you can sign up for extra sunlight. Maybe one service could compliment the other, by stealing sunlight from one place and giving it to the other!

Is this satire? I can't tell what satire is anymore. Someone writes something as comedy, and they soon get outdone by reality.

You make it sound very enticing.

It's "real" but super unfeasible. EEVblog made a video on it.

Long story short the idea of taking light from a relatively small area in space and then spreading it over a larger area on Earth means the wattage of energy is just spread out so thin that it's basically pointless. The cost and energy involved in actually executing this is also ridiculous when you'd get more energy by just adding a couple extra solar panels on the ground or adding a storage battery.
