Interesting. After “Transforming the Charge” played, the previous X3 started playing without my touching anything. Maybe I should just wait till the end of the month and play them all in reverse order with a single click?
Oop. Type “O.” TransPHorming…” Phunny how that happens.
X3 is too short. Watch dialog because they want to have part of the conversation.
I stopped listening when the dirty tee shirt guy said an advantage was the fuel savings in shipping the smaller/lighter bricks around. Also seems to be some confusion about whether the device is a battery or a transformer?
The future is so bright, I gotta wear shades, and I certainly do hope they don’t have to be plugged in to work. I hate batteries and remotes.
Everything should just turn on and work – magically.
LETS SEE..
could you save 10% of the power in the USA, by installing a POWER ON’ RELAY in transformers?
EVEN a SWITCH to shut them off, at the outlet?
How many transformers are ALWAYS plugged in, and they keep WORKING even when not Charging/running a device..
HOW many computer TRANSFORMERS, are still working when the computer is turned OFF..the OLD style ones had a MAIN switch on the back.
99% of power supplies are UNDER 90% conversion of power. 85% are under 80%..and the average HOME USER cant afford a power supply with better then 60-70% conversion.
BUT’ as we use LESS power the power corps will say, “WE NEED MORE MONEY”, and the cost of power will go up EVEN MORE..
I would also like to know how susceptible CHIP and newer power supplies/transformers are to changes in electrical supply. The OLD ones could take a GOOD HIT and still work, while frying your computer.
lol @ tee shirt wearing guy. joe makes a point, but its such a minute point i side with john. this isnt gonna happen any time soon if at all. where are those paper thin batteries i used to read about?
What irks me now with X3 and before with cranky geeks is the frakking lcd behind JCD always showing stretched graphics… Its absurd, what kind of graphic aware gig is this? Don’t you have people to do set decoration? Doesn’t even need to be a designer… just a sensible guy (or gal…)
pheew
Bobbo, you’ve GOT to be kidding! I knew you were ignorant, but this is an indication of just how uninformed you really are. Do yourself a favor and stick to commenting or religion and politics.
Bob–I’m not a tech guy. What did I get wrong?
John,
These X3 videos *always* hesitate 10 seconds into the video! Annoying.
Fix this!
Note: I am on a fast network
Thanks
Well rats. I can play the X3 program video just fine on Mevio, in a different tab, but this embed just won’t play.
