  • This happened with appliances. They ended up with the silly A++++ ratings added in 2010 as otherwise everything would be an A.

    In 2021 they decided to redefine grades instead. A fridge at A+++ became a C. A became the top grade again.

    It’s also worth noting that as they push the whole scale and G into being more efficient that essentially bans products that can’t achieve a rating.

    if everything becomes an A the system has worked and increased the efficiency across the market. They’ll adjust the goals every 5 to 10 years.

    The EU battery life measure is going to be the most interesting battle ground in my opinion. “All day battery life” will have a measured metric in hours.

    If the EU have managed to make that metric representative of an amount of screen time in a busy day it could become the first thing consumers look at. Or at least a deal breaker when that number is too low.



  • To exclude certain Semites from the definition of “antisemitism” based on religion…

    The definition of antisemitism is anti Semite.

    As long as we come across people playing language games while excusing a genocide.

    It’ could be reasoned it’s not accurate to call Israel’s actions “antisemitic” as that has been chosen as meaning only Jewish related hatred.

    It can also be reasoned that it’s perfect valid to call Israel’s actions “anti Semitic” as this is a genocide against an Arabic speaking Semitic population.
