Bought a new phone yesterday, looking at the power consumption this morning, at 3.8V it seems to have delivered 1.3MWh, can I export power from this thing to the mains?
As an extra bonus maybe AWS would like to buy my surplus CPU time?

Yes, but that was spread out over nearly 70 years.

Just about as long as UNIX has been measuring time since 1-Jan-70. Likely fixed on the next reboot.
