So, these assholes will ban 8k TVs, but not ban my pair of Pass Labs mono block amps: https://www.passlabs.com/products/xa200-8/#tech_spec With a total idle power draw of 1520 watts, if I had the money, I would ship a bunch of them for free to screw the difference of the number of 8K TV which would have been sold and in use. What are you supposed to do if you want an LED wall TV with a >2000 nits output to fight the daylight sun? |

The USG replied "Fine but when one of you does come up with the technology, the rest of you will be required to lease it from them and pay royalties." Within a few years ALL of the US auto makers had developed their own technology and were using it! None of them ever had to lease it from a different company. --- End quote --- They were garbage too. Have you looked at the horsepower ratings for cars before and after that requirement? There were cars with big honking V8 engines that only developed 120 HP. Until modern EFI came along they didn't have the tech to meet the requirements while selling cars that weren't crap. |

I don't really care if vacuums are limited in consumption, but I also don't care how much power they use. 95% of my vacuuming is done by the Roomba and I get out the upright for a proper deep cleaning maybe once a month for 10-15 minutes. It could consume 30kW and I would never even notice on my electric bill. |

Here on the continent, we're watching in awe how 350 M£ are pouring into the NHS every week. Oh, wait... But seriously: an American or German or Japanese would see this as an incentive to develop new more efficient dsiplay technology. First on the market makes real money. Here: moan! |

What happens when you want to make a TV with built in true realtime AI up-scaling hardware using 4x Nividia 4090's which eats around 2kw just for the image processing? |
