It is also relevant to something from the last three books, which haven't made it onto TV yet.

The PC would still heat up when started. You would need very precise temperature control to avoid that. That could be quite difficult to do

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but the Author seems to think that the main conversion losses in electricity generation come from renewables

Edit:

I think this paragraph should be enough to show that it is not advisable to trust the author on anything to do with energy:

>Due to the weight of all this stuff, and the relatively mild heat and scattered light coming from the Sun, solar panels produce no more than 20 Watts for each kg of their mass, even on a sunny day. Meanwhile wind turbines, with their massive concrete bases and tall steel towers, generate a mere 6 Watts for every kg of their weight. (Batteries fare slightly better at 240 W/kg.) For comparison diesel fuel produces 13,000 Watts for every kg of fuel burned. A regular diesel engine weighing 150 kg can thus easily produce 110 kW of power, while the same feat would require 5.5 tons of solar panels directly lit by the Sun at noon.

Basically Hancock show lots of interesting and fascinating archaeological sites which is great especially since a lot of these are things that most viewers didn't know about before. But sadly he chooses to use these site only to present his theory for which he's doesn't have any actual evidence.

Splitting audio via Bluetooth works completely fine for me. Doesn't need any extra apps or devices. But I was also very surprised when found out that this works now.

That is definitely done for bearing in ratting machinery. You can often even pinpoint which bearing is damaged and which part of that bearing is damaged, based on the frequency spectrum.
