Yes, you do land in the same spot, that isn't what I said.

Technically, when I jump up, I push the earth away from me. I move maybe
a foot up, the earth does move an EXTREMELY small amount down.

Technically this happens, practically it's best to ignore the earth's
movement due to my jumping and just consider the earth as static.

It's the same situation with a computer in a room, there are going to be
VERY small emissions of energy by that computer other then heat, but the
amount is so small that ignoring it just makes sense. Certainly to
figure out the cooling capacity needed looking at just the electricity
going in is by far the wisest choice.
