I have limits.

You could try mounting the power board to your TV unit instead of moaning.

Or right, you want me to nail the power strip to the nice TV do you ? Clearly
you've never had a wife or female partner.

You could try shutting the FUCK UP and stop trying to excuse appaling product
design by Samsung.

Do they employ you ? If not, they SHOULD !

You have my sympathies FWIW. OTOH they do say you get what you deserve.

Only half the population gets what they deserve (sometimes less), the rest
are simply stuck with it.
(even assuming the alternatives are any better, which they usually aren't)

You snipped most of what i wrote which it seems to me is pretty much to be
expected from you.

I suggest you google (or wiki) the concept of 'direct democracy'.

Bye bye, rich individuals and corporations making our lives HELL.

This shows your best debating skills I suppose.
Not that I have come to expect any better from you.

Nope, I couldn't give a rat's what you choose to buy without first checking
it meets your basic requirements.
You are now simply stating a power switch is one you forgot to check for.
BTW how do you switch off all your plug packs, or do you just leave them on,
then complain about something else?

I prefer screws on the TV stand/cabinet, but whatever works for you.

Clearly you would be wrong, as usual.

product
design by Samsung.

Or tell your wife to STFU, and you do what's required

Do they employ you ? If not, they SHOULD !

Probably so, I would have put a switch on it, even if I didn't expect to use
it. But some manufacturers count every cent on product design. The choice
was YOURS on whether to buy it or not.

Which doesn't apply in America OR Australia. Can you tell me when the last
referendum on the issue was?
(hint, there's never been one because politicians love to keep power for
themselves. The day they relinquish any real power to the people, there will
be ice skating in hell)

Voting on ONE issue, only every three, four (or even 6 or 8) years is what I
call "quasi democracy".
Just gives the appearance of democracy while providing none.

Bye bye, rich individuals and corporations making our lives HELL.

No argument there.
And yet you claimed they get what they deserve. Then abuse me for simply
disputing it.

IMHO the entire way countries are governed needs radical overhaul with
power being removed from
rich individuals and corporations and placed in 'trust' with highly
qualified and non-partisan
experts in their fields.

In short, being a 'party member' ought to be instant disqualification for
holding office.

Graham

That approach was tried, it was called communism, but come
to find out it became all about being a loyal "party member".
The central control of production commissars may have been
described as "highly qualified" and "experts in their fields", but
they had to be very loyal partisan supporters of the communist
party, in fact that was often the only qualification needed.

You just know experts like yourself should decide how
"countries are governed" not the mindless populations of the
nations in question. And it is only experts such as yourself
that can identify those who are qualified, those you can
believe are working for the best result. In other words those
who can support your agenda and beliefs, all others must be
marginalized and certainly not allowed to decide how their
country, is governed. We've seen your approach and it's
results. I'll take the more messy democratic (small d) and
capitalistic approach, any day.

Spot the contradiction.

The Greeks did try democracy a few thousand years ago, although even then,
not for all.
I'm not sure we have improved on it though, but you are naturally welcome to
your opinion.

So they did. So there is a lot of experience to draw on,
thanks for pointing that out. (That is why you snipped and

The CATV offers NO option receiver, so you're stuck with their SAMSUNG POS.

I have no intention of rolling around on the floor grasping under pieces of
furniture to switch off a TOTALLY INCOMPETENTLY designed pice of kit every time
I want to use it.

Maon at SAMSUNG not me. Do you NOT even begine to realise how infuriated I am
with their POS box ?

Model number SMT-2110C btw.

It's NOT a TV. It's a fucking STB made by Samsung. SMT-2110C.

The TV itself is the LAST of my problems.

And why didn't you return it for a refund and buy another brand?

Can't. The CATV Co. supplies the kit. NO OPTION. No alternative.

Oh FFS, what kind of EXCUSE is that for fundamental POOR DESIGN ?

I'm an electronics designer of some repute. I would be mortified to design a
device that saved NO energy in 'standby' mode.

You want people tripping over it and injuring themselves ?

I'm having GREAT trouble how you think all of this excuses inherently
incompetent product design by Samsung.

When the power switch says 'standby' it BLOODY WELL ought to use LESS power,
not just change the colour of the effing LED !

Jesus, many companies could manage this simple task at least TWENTY years
ago.

I've had enough of stupid wars (and stupid Americans) to put up with it any
