Reply to LG Innotek is ready to put true optical zoom lenses in the next wave of flagship phones by thebelsnickle1991
Samsung had the Galaxy K Zoom with a traditional zoom lens.

Sony did a range of cameras that used a prism and periscope for zooming, DSC-T9 should have been one of the models.

Probably explains all those weird 2-3 second long trailers before the actual trailer begins these days.

24.89 pence which is about 31 cents for the yanks here.
But then there is the cost of buying the machine in the first place as well.
Unless your local laundromat is insanely cheap in comparison.

A lot of people still have and use older less efficient flat panels that aren't LED backlit and some older folk still have have their CRTs.
A TV isn't like a smartphone where you upgrade every year or 2 then keep the old one in the back of a drawer somewhere. Getting rid of you old TV for a newer one when it still works isn't really a consideration for many folk.

Someone overclocked a 4090 to get over 100 TFLOPs. Nearly 10 times that of a PS5
Developers and publishers of multi-format titles will probably keep on making games with the lowest common dominator in mind as before.

All-in-one PCs should have an HDMI in or similar so you can at least use it as monitor once the CPU and GPU becomes too old or they no longer release the latest software for it.

At this rate we can power our GPUs and recharge electric cars with the same cable.
The new USB standard.

10 seconds is very good considering that dedicated equipment and warning systems can give people an alert from anywhere from a few seconds to up to a minute or two depending on circumstances.

Us brits are not in a position to criticise given that we have price capped our energy costs.
For some, our water bills should be lowered because water companies were dumping sewage everywhere. I believe the government is punishing these companies by forcing discounts to end customers instead of having to pay a fine.

Maintaining a fine tradition.
The guy in charge back in 2014 also had to resign because he employed an illegal immigrant.
