34 years as a paramedic led me to that conclusion.

This. If you look at sales materials for old pinball and arcade machines they explicitly talk about revenue generation and returns on investments.

I’m surprised people care that much about apps nowadays. I’ve definitely tapered down from years ago where I was going crazy with phone games and just pretty much only use social media apps nowadays.
I remember I used to be crazy with stuff like widgets and themes when I had an android or jailbroken iphones but I realized I can’t be bothered to do any of that anymore.

Pornhub app and probably some kodi variant for pirated content.

My 65" OLED pulls around 45w when the screen is all black and usually around 150-250w when playing games on it.
I don't have a CRT around anymore to test, but did have one about a decade ago. It was a 32" and I don't remember it pulling as much as my OLED does now.

It seems you’ve somehow been convinced that less calls to emergency lines is the solution to the problem.
I’d re-evaluate as to whether you’ve been lead to believe that because of facts or because of sensationalism.

Sure, but it’s a pretty good one still. This isn’t 2010 where you want a new app every day, most people already know what apps they need and every once in a while, might get a new one if it’s popular.
For the 0.01% you can’t get via the App Store, there are “work arounds” already if you need them.
At the end of the day all the app stores kind of suck for some reason or another.

I’m just giving a suggestion for someone who made it appear that it was impossible to have the best of both worlds.

Not too surprising.
Most 911 contracts that private ambulance services have, allow them at least 15 minutes to respond - depending on the size of the serviced area.

No. I find that games today are too immersive, too demanding of your time and attention. I prefer old arcade games because I can pick them up and put them down a couple of times in an hour. That helps prevent them from becoming life-consuming time sinks.

I have power monitoring in my house using Home Assistant and a iotawatt. My custom gaming rig (3070/5800x cpu) pulls 600W when I’m gaming. 65” OLED is a couple of hundred watts.
Heat pumps were by far the best power consumption investment. If you have electric resistive heating just bite the bullet and get the heat pump. My 3400 sq ft shop costs less than half to heat when compared with the boiler. And I keep it at 16-19C depending on the time of day. If you live in a cold climate (more than 20 days averaging below -20C) go with a ground source heat pump not a air source model.
Our Dryer remains the elephant in the room. But it’s old and works really good. 6kW of heating power baby. But the new dryers suuuuuuuck right now. They clamped down on the power efficiency rules so the new ones use way less power but have to run twice as long to dry so that is a no go for us. Heat pump dryers are starting to show up but they still suck. They won’t suck in a few years so we are waiting. Right now it’s like ‘early emission controlled carbureted engines’. They still suck.

Fake.
Can you people please stop being so gullible? The article is literally pointing to a Reddit comment without any sort of further proof.

Hey another one of these "news" articles.
Appleinsider sure is a respectable news source.. oh and it's based on a reddit post?
This one certainly passes the smell test. Quality journalism achieved
