    Remember when we were told to conserve energy with energy efficient appliances and such? We were told to conserve water with low flow showers and toilets? Guess where those savings all went.

      Like my stupid Creative T40 computer speakers that auto shut off after a few minutes of silence to save a handful of millijoules, then annoyingly take 4 seconds to power back up.

      No way to turn off that “feature”.
