Well in all fairness, the TV draws, what 10 watts or something stupid like that. Back in the day, light bulbs would draw at least 40, sometimes 60 watts, and the big bad boys drew 100! š
Kinda the same way I feel about IPv6. Why give a customer a /48, when they will just use maybe one /64. Its wasteful, they would be using .00001% of what they were given, and therefore 99.9999% is wasted. This occurred before, when we handed out /8s like crack. I do understand the size but STILL, just is wasted. I still go around my house, turn off lights, yes they are LED, but still do it. I still yell at my son when he leaves a door open. As far as fido and cats needing sound, umm. Mine sleep all day unless a leaf blows past the window then they are barking at it, and the cat never moved.

Now I get customers who leave a TV streaming all day for the dogs while theyāre gone. That irks me because it seems wasteful. They have excuses when I suggest playing a radio or telling Alexa to play music. I mean, if it was cats, probably they watch the video and play with the birds and strings and stuff. But supposedly the dogs just want something to listen to. We have a cattle feed lot customer that plays a radio in the barns for the cows, but radio is apparently good enough for cows. Internet is now something we donāt worry about wasting, like leaving a light on or a faucet running. I guess I wouldnāt care if I didnāt get tech support calls about the app on the Firestick not running all day and they get home and thereās no TV for the dogs. What am I going to say, give the dogs our number and have them call in when it happens? OK, Fido, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?
