how much standby power do ALL your appliances use? - Page 2

Spot the contradiction.

The Greeks did try democracy a few thousand years ago, although even then,
not for all.
I'm not sure we have improved on it though, but you are naturally welcome to
your opinion.

MrT.

  So they did.  So there is a lot of experience to draw on,
thanks for pointing that out.  (That is why you snipped and
changed the whole context of my reply, right?)

Yes, one of the most advanced civilisations prior to the modern period.

Graham

Nope, your rant against communism was simply irrelevant.

MrT.

Yeah, like stoning to death for sexual preferences or extra-marital sex.

Good to see you're so enlightened.

Graham

The trouble is that they embody extremes not seen elsewhere.

I've met and known some very decent Muslims indeed. They are often far more
ethical than followers of other religions.

Graham

Er no. Since when was there not a 'communist party' ?

Your brain is obviously made of scrambled eggs.

Graham

As always, the question is who decides who is "qualified" and "non-partisan".

I remember a sci-fi book I read years ago where holding office was a
responsibility, not a right. One of the qualifiers for being elected was that
you didn't want the position. Instead, you considered it your responsibility to
govern if the society chose you to. Anyone who wanted to run was disqualified.

No-one said it would be easy ! Thanks for your thoughts all the same.

3W is huge. My Sony S series LCD TV takes 0.2W in standby.

Dave.

3W was state of the art for when it was manufactured. I'm certainly not going to
fret over than when, if you'd read my earlier post the set-top-box my cable co
supplies consumes 17W whether 'on' or in standy. It seems the 'standby' just
switches off the front panel display and changes the colour of the switch
illumination from green to red.

Graham

No power switch on the wall socket? Best option, buy a switched power board
then.

MrT.

It's not always conventionent to scrabble round on the floor underneat things
is it ?

THINK !

You might take your own advice. Try Googling "extension cord".

Wayne

It's already on one ! And I can't say I've ever seen swiched outlet extensions in
the shops either. Here's a typical one.

Besides, why would I want to scrabble around on the floor because the damn
manufacturer was so incompetent ?

If you'd gone back in the hierarchy at that page and chosen "switched"
instead of "unswitched", you'd have gotten here

It's hard to imagine that anybody would write multiple posts to
advertise that level of helplessness, but you're actually the second
I've seen. Last time it was Gymmy Bob (aka John P Benji, Solar Fart,
etc.) complaining about having to crawl under his desk to read a
KillaWatt. Congrats.

And this is your justication for Samsung NOT fitting a power switch that
actually DOES SOMETHING.

I do NOT wish to crawl under the furniutre every time I want to watch TV. I have
limits. My entire house  is CFL'd for Christ's sake and I've had them for
decades but I take exception to nit wit comments like yours making a
virtue of of incompetent design.

Graham

I have limits.

You could try mounting the power board to your TV unit instead of moaning. I
prefer having one power switch anyway, even though all my AV components do
have mains switches. But I will admit my computer power board is on the
floor, and I've been switching that every day for years.
Maybe you are simply lazy and should just ignore the small amount of power
drain. Even 17W is only about $5 a year.

MrT.

Or right, you want me to nail the power strip to the nice TV do you ? Clearly
you've never had a wife or female partner.

You could try shutting the FUCK UP and stop trying to excuse appaling product
design by Samsung.

Do they employ you ? If not, they SHOULD !

Graham

I prefer screws on the TV stand/cabinet, but whatever works for you.



Clearly you would be wrong, as usual.


product

Or tell your wife to STFU, and you do what's required :-)



Probably so, I would have put a switch on it, even if I didn't expect to use
it. But some manufacturers count every cent on product design. The choice
was YOURS on whether to buy it or not.
