Comment Its always a Bum on the Seat (Score 1) 45

This is literally how we solved the "kit" problem in the takeaway online ordering sector when the owner didnt want another piece of "expensive" hardware in their stores, especially when we couldnt guarantee them more orders by accepting our service. People were literally using an app or the website for us to use an Indian call center to ring up the takeaway restaurant and place your order for you. The illusion of technological advancement is sometimes as important as the concept itself.

Comment Sad really... (Score 2) 331

I fully appreciate its taken the advent of modern computing and automation to get to where the modern EV is, but a statement like "he found that the Golf had 125 more moving parts than its electric counterpart" makes me wonder where exactly could we have been with this technology had it been the driving force of the 20th Century, excuse the pun..

Comment Re:The main power drain is your TV (Score 1) 66

Afraid this is factually inaccurate. A 50 inch LED TV pulls less than 100W (a 32 inch is around 55W) whereas an XBONEX idles around 60W but in reality will draw well over 250W when under load at 4k. Given how this compares to a modern gaming rig though, I'm actually pretty impressed with how little power most consoles actually use.
