Strictly out of interest, I wanted to ask earlier if this irresponsible way of causing insane, instant, bandwidth demands is breaking anything on the ISP/CDN side or even the console owner ?! Or is it just an interesting phenomenon that is handled without a sweat. Does it break the buck in anyway? The thread started with bandwidth surges and now power hogging is mentioned, I wonder what else might happen as a side effect to a small number of console/gaming companies not taking a direct responsibility in how they release large updates in a way that is not organized or scheduled but is rough and abrupt. ~A On Thu, Feb 13, 2020 at 3:33 AM Tom Beecher <beecher () beecher cc> wrote:
The discussion about what the consoles can or can not do is honestly not solving anything. Saying that the consoles should or should not be doing a thing is simply trying to throw the problem to someone else.

IE: It'snot a full power up from a dead stop, 0 watts power usage. https://www.anandtech.com/show/7528/the-xbox-one-mini-review-hardware-analysis/5 says two-digit standby power (which they say is needed for background updating). At least in Germany, nobody sane will leave the thing in that expensive mode (a watt-year is $3 here). Switchable extension power cords are being actively marketed here for these power hogs.
