I am using IKEA blinds. They have their disadvantages, but they’re zigbee and work well enough. I cut them to fit, which was a simple job but requires attention to detail and tools which I didn’t have; nevertheless they look good from across the room.
Stateside, I’ve heard good things about Lutron but they’re pricy.
Generally true and that’s why I often read these articles scratching my head. Make them closed loop! They almost always use chillers…
Water use becomes a concern if the water is moved too far and/or too fast like your Sahara example.

Economically, birth rates need to go up.
But environmentally, it’s not a good picture.
I see your point but the correct answer is to install current branch. If you want pain and suffering, skip the appetizer and go straight to Linux.
If you pay me well enough to maintain my current standard of living within 20 min transit/cycling/walking commute of the office, I’ll do hybrid. But I suspect I’m not going to get a mid six-figure USD raise.
Keep resisting RTO and the demands will continue to drop.
Evaporative cooling. Low cost.
