A question about : Europe rules percolators must shut off after five minutes (Telegraph)
Clearly, an emotive press headline: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/shop...e-minutes.html
New networked devices like routers, hubs, modems, connected or smart televisions and printers should be able to switch automatically into a low power standby mode if no main task is performed.
Personally, there are devices that I would like to remain fully powered-up, particularly routers, ethernet power-line adapters, communication hubs, iBoost, internet radio. And I do like to have my espresso machine on warm while I'm at home during the day.
What do others think?
Best answers:
- That's just another meddling European load of bullsh*t from Brussels if you ask me(just like the previous hoover one). The sooner we get a referendum the better(IMHO)
- Wish my Gas Meter would shut off.......
- I would have thought the power saving on a router is so pitiful as to not be worth the hot air wasted legislating on it. A heater plate is worth thinking about due to the power used but there has to be a balance - heating it up again from cold to make a fresh pot may not be an overall energy saving.
- It says
