so we don't need a bunch of bricks doing the conversion and wasting additional power in phantom energy draw.
That would be good, but it's a long ways off. Fortunately most ac to dc conversion is now done with much more efficient switching power supplies instead of the linear wall-warts that everything used to use.
Demand is what you are willing to pay. I've been cutting my personal energy consumption for years, not because I need to, but because I would rather save or invest the money than give it to my utility company.
That's true. I don't run 10 mi every day, but at least once a week (6 mi or so the other days). After a winter of running, I started hiking again in the spring and was winded like none other in a short amount of time. Surprising since I only run off-road and on trials.
I don't steam everything, but I don't hoard everything either. I'm having trouble filling up a 4tb drive that I have plugged into my router. I just don't care enough to have everything in digital format. I still own plenty of CDs and DVDs/Blue-Ray.
As for 4k..it's about as exciting as day-old bread.
I haven't been pulled over in at least ten years, but there is no way that I am every handing over my smartphone to an officer, or anyone else for that matter.

Who cares? If you don't like them, the don't use their products.

Anyone else? I've been burned to hell and back with Dell and will never give them another dollar as long as I live.
It prevents your ISP from injecting crap into your pages, like Comcast has been known to do.
