Computing to support life on Earth

Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.

Hi I'm have a 20 year old laptop and every time I turn it on it has reset the clock and date to 2001 or whatever and I have to set it again before I can do anything. I haven't used it that often in recent years. Is there some part i could replace to get this working.

Also in general, is there other maintenance I should do to keep it working?

Not really an expert but I think at least desktop PCs sometimes have a batttery for the clock, this wouldn't really make sense with a laptop since it already has one but maybe still worth checking?
