    I use a tablet computer for most of my browsing while watching (or ignoring) TV.
    Starting with a fully charged battery, I get little more than one hour on this site before the battery is just about discharged. That rate is worse than watching streaming video.
    On the old ISG site, I could browse for many hours with only a small amount of discharge. I can watch Youtube videos for hours and maybe take a 30% hit on battery storage.

    But on this site the battery takes a dive. Maybe it’s the volume of adverts. Maybe it’s the fact that I have to scroll through many pages just to get to the unread stuff.

    Do others have a similar experience with battery discharge rates ?

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

    Nope. No battery discharge problems for me.

    By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

    If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.

    Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

    Meditation makes doing nothing quite respectable.

    Thanks Hack. It’s quicker on the PC anyway but can’t watch TV at the same time.

    Is it possible that devices use more energy to post in wrong threads?

    no battery problems I use power lead to my lap top. Has to be that way because my Lap top battery has gone flat
    yes I agree we have to wade through a lot of orange lines on the screen to get to new posts and taht makes it difficult to follow especially on long threads. BUT
    at least The SPAM level is lower here on this site.

    “Discharge rates” lower due to your age?

    That, too. But not a recent change.

    It’s a “2014 edition” which I bought in 2013.

    So, quite new really.

    Some of the posts on good old ISG caused me a small amount of discharge as well, very satisfying, so you should be in heaven with larger discharges here.
