NewPipe ..for peertube and for YouTube! I use it in an Android.

10w is impressively low. And totally justifies the convenience in a lot of cases.

Thanks for the info.

10watts on stand-by? That's impressive. I didn't find that info on the website. Can you point me to where that is? plz

Better for what?

Moving parts and complexity makes it more prone to failure.

Also, how much energy do you need to keep this working? It's not said on the website.

Granted, both kettle and this zori trade energy and complexity/failure-potential for convenience. Much more so the zori. How much is unknown. On the simple, less-energy end, you'd use an electrical resistance in an insulated jar.

All electric kettles will fail at some point. They have moving parts and are designed for obsolescence.

In my place I use a kettle that allows me to boil 1 cup of water. The filter mesh has failed long ago but the water does not have hardness. Instead I use a small improvised cap to keep the flow of vapour to the cut off thermostat (usually at the bottom of the handle).

small scale solar like this is quite inefficient compared to grid-scale stations.

grid-scale generation is much more effective, both in cost and generation efficiency.

Can you explain a bit better on the magnitude of these differences and why they exist? Thx

Look for "Portugal: How much of the country’s electricity comes from renewables?" in the bottom quarter.

Is it hard to believe or have you not thought about it hard enough?

I'll take your word. Thanks

Except your comment and the post seem to exist in different frames of reference.

No apologies needed. Great that we got here. Cheers
